The SkySails-System supplements the existing propulsion of a vessel and is used offshore. The SkySails-System is designed for operation in predominantly prevailing wind forces of 3 to 8 Beaufort at sea. The system can be recovered, but not launched at wind forces below 3 Beaufort.With regard to classification society regulations, the SkySails-System is categorized and treated as an auxiliary propulsion. The operation of the system is not limited by any regulations at present. A multi-level security system and redundant components guarantee the highest possible safety during operation of the SkySails propulsion.
• The tractive force can be modified and reduced as needed by changing the relative position of the towing kite to the ship.
• The force vectors on the ship can be controlled by changing the direction of pull.
• In case of overloading, the winch will automatically veer out the towing kite.
• The towing kite has an emergency release feature for use in extreme
situations.
Modern meteorological methods make precise three to five-day weather forecasting possible. Major weather systems and weather trends can be forecast for even longer periods. The routing system hence contributes significantly to system safety by means of projecting and preventing risk.
