Shipping company ONE is installing wind shields on some of its very large container ships to reduce fuel consumption and thus carbon emissions.
ONE Trust, a very large container ship owned by ONE with a capacity of 20,170TEU, arrived at the port of Southampton on Nov 19, with a giant windshield structure installed on its bow, according to a set of photos.
According to the shipping company, the bow device could reduce fuel consumption by 4 percent under ideal conditions and possibly by about 2 percent under actual sailing conditions.
The container ship "ONE Trust" is currently the first very large container ship to be fitted with the device. The ship was built in 2017 and was originally named "MOL Trust" before being renamed "ONE Trust."
It is reported that Mitsui (MOL), a founding member of ONE, developed and installed the bow windshield for the first time for the medium-size container ship MOL Marvel (6724TEU) in 2015. In 2017, it was confirmed that carbon emissions were reduced by about 2% in actual sailing conditions; In 2019, the design of bow windshields for very large container ships received DNVGL's approval-in-principle (AIP).
According to MOL, the bow wind shield can reduce the wind resistance of the ship during navigation, and it is expected to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by about 2% to 4% due to the optimal design of the super large container ship. This is based on technology from MOL and Samsung Heavy Industries.
THE container ship "ONE Trust" is said to have been redeployed to the alliance's Asia-Europe shipping service FE2 after its bow windward installation was carried out at Qingdao Beihai Shipyard. The container ship "ONE TRADITION" is also installing the device at the shipyard.
In addition, the shipping line has ordered a fleet of 24,000TEU very large container ships from Imagi shipyard lmabari in Japan, which will also reportedly be fitted with wind shields.
Alphaliner said the addition was part of the shipping company's efforts to reduce fuel consumption in its fleet, thereby reducing its overall carbon footprint.
It is imperative to reduce emissions in shipping, and the new carbon intensity (CII) regulations for international shipping will come into effect on January 1, 2023. Maersk recently submitted a green transformation plan, under which a quarter of its seaborne cargo volume must be transported on green fuel ships by 2030 and its carbon emissions will be cut in half from 2020 levels.
