Berge Bulk has retrofitted a 2018-bilt Newcastlemax bulk ore carrier Berge Olympus with four large sails. They can be seen in the picture here. It’s pretty impressive. Expected savings are 6 tonnes of fuel and 20 tonnes of CO2 per day. The installation was done during the ship’s first special survey, in China.
The ship trades the Brazil to China route carrying iron ore.
