Low & Zero Emission Ship Designs with Sail-Assisted Propulsion & Solar Power
The Aquarius Eco Handymax ship design concepts include the integrated sail-assisted propulsion & solar power system known as Aquarius Marine Renewable Energy or Aquarius MRE® and a range of energy saving devices including an air lubrication system (ALS). These concept designs incorporate many of the technologies & solutions of Aquarius Eco Ship future bulker concept design,
The design concepts also incorporate the Aquarius ESD (Energy Saving Devices) package - this combines sail- assisted or wind-assisted propulsion & solar power with a range of energy saving devices.
Two versions of this Eco Ship are being developed:
Aquarius Eco Handymax
A low emission ship with low emission main engines, Aquarius MRE® and energy saving devices.
