Anemoi Rotor Sail secures BV approval

The latest approvals cover the company’s fixed and rail deployed 3.5m x 24.5m Rotor Sails, including EX-rated models and shorter variants designed for vessels operating under air draft restrictions. Applications are also in the pipeline for approvals covering fixed and folding 5m x 35m Rotor Sails.

These BV certifications join others from Lloyd’s Register, DNV and ClassNK.

“These latest approvals highlight how Anemoi is advancing in both technical maturity and scale of deployment, while continuing to focus on easing implementation for shipowners,” said Clare Urmston, chief executive of Anemoi Marine Technologies.

“Verification from Bureau Veritas and several other class societies is a crucial pillar for building confidence in Anemoi’s solutions, further driving the uptake of wind-assisted propulsion across the global market.”

Rotor Sails developed by Anemoi are already operating on vessels classed by multiple classification societies, demonstrating their performance across a variety of ship types and operating conditions.

The latest approvals reinforce Anemoi’s strategy of reducing barriers to the adoption of wind-assisted propulsion as the maritime sector continues its transition towards lower-emission operations.
