Innovative Technologies & Solutions for Sustainable Shipping

Eco Marine Power Co. Ltd. (EMP) is an internationally focused technology company based in Fukuoka, Japan, that develops innovative renewable energy focused fuel and emissions reduction technologies for shipping and offshore applications. These technologies include the patented Aquarius MRE, EnergySail and Aquarius MAS. In addition EMP works with a number of strategic partners to offer a range of other products and solutions including marine hybrid power, computer control systems, marine solar power and energy storage solutions with hybrid battery technology. These technologies are suitable for a wide range of ships, ferries and other vessels. Most products and technologies are also suitable for offshore applications and land-based applications as well.Eco Marine Power at Sea Japan 2018

One of our major product development projects is the Aquarius MRE (Patented) - a wind power and solar energy system for ocean going vessels.

This innovative system will allow ships to utilise wind power via a computer controlled integrated system of rigid but movable sails in order to reduce fuel consumption and lower noxious gas emissions. These sails may also be fitted with solar panels or other devices.

Our patented rigid sail or EnergySail technology that has been developed for the system is unique to EMP.

In addition to reducing fossil fuel consumption and harmful airborne emissions, ship owners and operators will be able to decrease the CO₂ footprint of their fleet and install the Aquarius MRE on a wide variety of ships and vessels.

The various technologies developed for the system can also be applied to almost any ship including bulk carriers, oil tankers, survey ships, offshore support vessels, tug boats, passenger ferries and even naval ships. An example of how renewable energy technologies can be included in a ship is being studied as part of the Aquarius Eco Ship project.

Another cutting-edge green shipping technology development project being undertaken by Eco Marine Power is the Tonbo solar-electric ferry or hybrid marine power (HMP) vessel. This innovative design project incorporates the latest solar module, Lithium battery and electrical power management technology so that the Tonbo's fuel consumption and emission of noxious gases will be significantly less than other ships or ferries of the same size.
