MOL windshield reduces CO2 emissions

Mitsui O.S.K. Lines (MOL) has completed in-service testing of a wind resistance-reducing windshield which it claims reduces carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions by approximately 2%.

As part of the test, the windshield, which was co-developed by the carrier, was installed on the bow of the containership MOL Marvel sailing at 17 knots per hour.

According to MOL, the emissions reduction of approximately 2% was confirmed by sailing an identical vessel without the device installed at the same speed.
