Tuomas: I think motors won't help when speed of wind gusts in port is 100+ kmph?

What do you guys say?

Cheers

Try to look at containerships mooring operations during strong wind gusts, especially for feeders at Rotterdam and Hamburg, when charter want to save money and they have full tiers on deck.

How often do ships even come to port if the weather is like that? Also, not all ports in the world have such extreme conditions.

Toumas, : I didn't thought about that.
But let's make some kind of conclusion, wind will be one of their biggest problems, after bridges and loading and unloading cargo operations?


This is good idea for a tanker.
It would be ugly but useful tanker, right?

The device for saving fuel should be as "simple" as possible & require as less as possible costs on it's maintenance. Dynarig is significantly inferior to a Flettner rotor or just a kite as it seems.
