About the project
The high level of cargo vessel emissions is a big global and EU-level challenge, especially older cargo vessels which still have a long life expectancy and which make up a large proportion of European waterborne transport. Shipping companies are actively looking for solutions that reduce the fuel consumption of their vessels.
Impact of the project:
Norsepower wind propulsion system, Norsepower Rotor Sail Solution, enhances the complete propulsion system of a vessel by using wind as an auxiliary propulsion measure.
Funding instrument Horizon 2020 SME instrument phase 2
Spinverse’s role
Spinverse supported Norsepower to apply for funding from the Horizon 2020 SME instrument phase 2.
Spinverse reviewed and commented on the funding proposal draft, and provided support in grant agreement phase.
We got into European Commission's Horizon 2020 programme, allowing us to develop a new rotor sail model and delivering it to the Viking Line Grace cruise ship. Without the help of Spinverse, we probably wouldn't have made it into the H2020 programme.
