The Finnish manufacturer of auxiliary wind-assisted propulsion has been commissioned by the Japanese Iino Lines and J-Power to furnish Yodohime with a 24 m tall & 4.0 m in diameter sail.

The installation will take place in Q3 2024.

It will be Iino Lines' second Norsepower Rotor Sail, following an installation on board a very large gas carrier.

Meanwhile, it'll be J-Power's second wind propulsion auxiliary system for a coal carrier.
