First in the world
Ro Spirit is the world’s first live fish carrier to be fitted with bow foils from Wavefoil. The bow foils will convert wave energy directly into propulsion, reduce ship movements for improvement in fish welfare and increase comfort on board for crew members.
The bow foils have a wingspan of almost 8 meters in active position and the concept has been developed in collaboration with Rostein AS, Skipskompetanse, Wavefoil and I.P Huse.
