K LINE has signed a contract with Norwegian design firm Airseas for three more giant kites to be installed on three of its post-panamax bulkers.
The company’s Seawing system harnesses energy from the wind to propel ships and can reduce carbon emissions by over 20%.
In 2019, the Japanese carrier had signed an initial agreement with Airseas to install these kites on up to 50 of its vessels.
