In response to increasingly stringent carbon emission regulations in the shipping sector, SunRui has actively enriched its portfolio of ship emission reduction solutions by constructing the world's largest land-based test platform for rotor sails. Leveraging this platform, the company conducted comprehensive validations on the system's start-up, rotation control, safety monitoring, and hydraulic control. The trials confirmed that the system could automatically achieve continuous and stable operation under various wind conditions and operational scenarios, meeting all classification society requirements and exhibiting strong potential for real-ship applications.
Marine wind rotor assist technology is widely recognised as a highly promising carbon reduction solution in the shipping industry. SunRui Environment has expanded its footprint in the field of ship wind energy utilisation. Through continuous technological breakthroughs, the company has successfully overcome key challenges in composite outer cylinders, supporting inner towers, efficient transmission, and hydraulic control, culminating in the development of the world's largest marine wind rotor assist system. With a maximum thrust of 355kN and highly efficient hydraulic sail-lifting operations, the system boasts a simple structure, stable operation, and excellent assist performance. It applies to various ship types, including oil tankers, bulk carriers, and liquid cargo ships, offering an average annual energy savings of 5% on typical routes and a payback period of no more than five years, delivering significant economic benefits.
The successful development of the marine wind rotor assist system represents another major achievement by Sunrui Environment in the ship equipment sector, following its ballast water management systems and clean energy supply system, Looking ahead, SunRui will continue to drive innovation, develop new technologies and products, and refine its comprehensive green shipping solutions, contributing even more to the sustainable development of the global shipping industry.
