The sailing ship concept - building blocks
the sailing rig
24.9 knots top speed
381 NM in 24h x 2
61% use of sail
In first 12 months of operation......
Sailed 23,310 NM
12 179 sail sets
Crossed Atlantic
24.9 kts top speed
381nm in 24h x2
61% use of sails
no major breakdowns
• CO2 emission reduced by 23%
• NOx by 90 %
• SOx emissions resolved
Currently operating in 22 vessels worldwide
Making bio-gas from food waste
Anaerobic Digestion
Virtual bio-methane supply chain - injects bio-methane into natural gas grid network to
improve economic and environmental efficiency. The bio-methane B9 Organic puts in the
grid is matched by the LNG B9 Shipping takes out to use in ships – green gas

B9 SHIP USP – PREDICTABLE FUEL COSTS
Renewable energy offers long term stable pricing. Assume 50/50 wind/biogas. Wind free
(after extra capex for mast - RE project norm) + long term back to back LBN supply contract
from B9 Organic. Customer secures 10y pricing contract

To achieve the best possible sailing performance, optimising the interaction
between the hull and the rig is key. The rig has to generate enough power to
overcome the resistance of the hull, but the hull also has to provide the grip in the
water, to stop the ship slipping sideways due to the sail forces.
Wind Tunnel
Testing
Tank Testing
Velocity
Prediction
Program
The information from both the tank
testing and the wind tunnel testing is
used within a Velocity Prediction
Program for the ship, which estimates
the sailing performance of the vessel
given a variety of wind strengths.
Wind Tunnel & Tank Testing
The more these three methods are used in conjunction, the more performance of the
ship can be improved and optimised.
