One of our major product development projects is the Aquarius MRE (Patented) - a wind power (sail assisted propulsion) and solar energy system for ocean going vessels. This innovative system allows ships to utilise wind power via a computer controlled integrated system of rigid but movable sails (EnergySail`s) in order to reduce fuel consumption and lower noxious gas emissions. Each EnergySail may also be fitted with solar panels or other devices.

The patented rigid sail or EnergySail technology developed for Aquarius MRE is unique to Eco Marine Power.

In addition to reducing fossil fuel consumption and harmful airborne emissions, ship owners and operators will be able to decrease the CO₂ footprint of their fleet and install the Aquarius MRE on a wide variety of ships and vessels.

The various technologies developed for the system can also be applied to almost any ship including bulk carriers, oil tankers, survey ships, offshore support vessels, tug boats, passenger ferries and even naval ships. An example of how renewable energy technologies can be included in a ship is being studied as part of the Aquarius Eco Ship project.

Another cutting-edge green shipping technology development project being undertaken by Eco Marine Power is the Tonbo solar-electric ferry or hybrid marine power (HMP) vessel. This innovative design project incorporates the latest photovoltaic (PV) module, battery and electrical power management technology.
