HDV Flettner Rotors Project Commissioning Basis

The HDV Marine phase 1 project(lead by Rolls-Royce) identified wind assisted propulsion as an area that has significant potential to reduce fuel use in shipping.The phase 1 study considered three potential wind assisted technologies:Flettner RotorsWing sailsSoft-sailsThis led to Flettner Rotors being identified as the technology with the greatest potential for fuel consumption reduction.This project uses Flettner Rotor data gathered from the M/V Estraden, to validate models built by UCL and BMT Defence Services Ltd.The validated models will be used to predict performance of Flettner Rotors on a tanker
