en.Wedoany.com Reported - Spanish wind propulsion company bound4blue has signed a cooperation agreement with LNG consultancy Cryosafe Services to jointly promote the application of eSAIL wind propulsion technology on LNG carriers. The two parties will evaluate eSAIL integration and configuration solutions for LNG vessels, covering operational aspects such as vessel air draft, cargo operations, gangway access, and mooring arrangements, to ensure compliance with the operational requirements of LNG terminals and floating storage regasification units.

bound4blue stated that LNG carriers, due to their speed, available deck space, and global trade routes, have become a key growth area for the company's autonomous wind propulsion technology. The optimized eSAIL system can help shipowners and charterers reduce fuel consumption, emissions, and compliance costs. The eSAIL system has received DNV type approval and is designed to reduce fuel use and emissions while meeting regulatory requirements such as the EU Emissions Trading System, FuelEU Maritime, and the Carbon Intensity Indicator.

bound4blue Chief Commercial Officer Daniel Mann noted that partnering with Cryosafe Services, which is familiar with LNG carrier operations and terminal compliance factors, is significant for market expansion in this segment. Cryosafe Services Chief Operating Officer Grant Wintle said: "The company is committed to supporting proven technologies to enhance the operational efficiency of LNG carriers. We look forward to working with bound4blue on future projects to study optimal eSAIL installation solutions and contribute our extensive operational experience in the LNG industry."
