Around 90% of world trade is carried by the international shipping industry and it is an essential part of the modern world economy.
However ships are also responsible for the release of a range of noxious gases and carbon dioxide, therefore the International Maritime Organization (IMO) is working with the shipping industry to make world shipping more environmentally friendly.
Around 200 years ago ocean going sailing ships were reaching speeds of 16 knots or more and carrying trade across the globe. Best of all they released no harmful emissions and could cross the globe without using a drop of oil. But somehow since then, world shipping strayed off the green path and the benefits of using wind power onboard large ships was forgotten.
So this is it!!!! Now we are in need to use different natural sources to drive our ships. As we know about diesel, steam and electrical driven engines.The resource we now going to use are nuclear and solar. And we also got a use of resource from our past discovery i.e., Wind.
Here now is an company which is dedicating their applications on marine industry. They are ECO MARINE POWER are focused on helping to make 'Green Shipping' a reality via our unique design concepts and innovative technology.
Their vision is to create a sustainable future for shipping where our trade routes will be served by vessels that are part sailing ship and part solar ship. Their solutions and designs tap into the limitless energy of the wind and sun with our cutting edge Aquarius MRE SystemTM leading the way.Not only will a solution like the Aquarius wind and solar power system reduce emissions, but it will also save ship owners and shipping lines money by reducing fuel costs.
