Jumbo has successfully installed two mechanical sails on its Heavy Lift Vessel, Jumbo Jubilee, as part of its commitment to enhance fuel efficiency and reduce carbon emissions. This wind-assisted ship propulsion (WASP) solution complements existing technologies, including an efficiency-boosting propeller coating and an AI anti-fouling monitoring system. The sails, designed for flexibility and easy relocation, will help gather data on fuel savings. Jumbo emphasizes that sustainable shipping requires collaboration across all departments and the integration of multiple energy-saving technologies.
