Eco Marine Power has begun preparing its Aquarius Marine Renewable Energy (MRE) solution for sea trials.
- Aquarius MRE is an integrated system of rigid sails, solar-panels energy storage modules and marine computers to enable ships to tap into renewable energy by harnessing the power provided by the wind and sun.
- Feasibility studies have begun on bulk carriers to establish an estimate of the propulsive power that could be provided by EMP’s EnergySail (one of the technologies part of the Aquarius MRE) and solar power potential.
- Following the feasibility study, one ship will be selected for sea trials. All the elements of Aquarius MRE will be included over a 12-18 months test period.
