B9 Shipping

B9 Shipping

B9 Ships are powered by a combination of proven technologies - conventional soft sails and biogas marine engines.
The company has collaborated with Rolls Royce, Graig
Investments, Corus Steel, International Paints,
Southampton University`s Wolfson Unit and the Met
Office to develop the new vessel. About 60 per cent of
the thrust comes from conventional soft sails and, in
calm conditions or to manoeuvre in port, a carbon
neutral bio-methane engine is used.
The first vessel will be launched in 2012, to coincide
with the opening of new biomass power stations across
the UK. B9 Ships will be used to import bio material
from the Baltics, to support the emerging biomass
energy requirements of the UK. The company
anticipates a need for 50 ships by 2020 to give the
biomass industry compliance with the 10 per cent
energy in transport target of the Renewable Energy
Directive.
