Eco-friendly Infrastructure Development Project

□ Project overview

ㅇ (Duration/Total budget) 2024~2027 (Total budget: KRW 7.893billion)
ㅇ (Project objective) To support the localization and global market entry of Rotor sail (wind-assisted propulsion system) by developing and manufacturing test equipment and establishing an accredited testing system.
ㅇ (Project description) Development and fabrication of full-scale* test equipment for wind-assisted propulsion system (Rotor sail), and establishment of the world’s first accredited test facility** both domestically and internationally through the development of testing standards.

Overall layout of Full-scale Rotor Sail Test facility

Main facilities and components

□ Project background

ㅇ In response to strengthened environmental regulations in the maritime sector, such as the IMO's greenhouse gas reduction strategy, the shipbuilding and shipping industries are undergoing a rapid paradigm shift toward eco-friendly vessels.
ㅇ Commercialization of wind-assisted propulsion devices is actively being pursued, particularly in the shipping industry, as a supplementary means of propulsion using wind energy.
ㅇ There is a growing need for systematic support to enable domestic small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to break away from traditional subcontracting structures with large corporations and secure new growth opportunities by independently winning overseas projects, particularly in Southeast Asia.

□ Project description

ㅇ Support for the localization and enhancement of market competitiveness of wind-assisted ship propulsion systems through the establishment of full-scale demonstration equipment for core marine energy efficiency components (Rotor sail).
ㅇ Detailed project activities:
- Construction of full-scale performance and quality test beds for Rotor sail and Wing Sail
- Development of internationally accredited test procedures (ISO) for wind-assisted propulsion systems for ships
- Establishment of a KOLAS-compliant testing system and classification certification framework based on accredited test procedures

□ Expected outcomes

ㅇ Establishment of the world’s first accredited testing system for Rotor Sails.
ㅇ Enhanced industrial competitiveness through the advancement of fuel-saving technologies using wind power as an eco-friendly energy
- When applied, Rotor Sails are expected to deliver more than a 5% fuel savings based on the Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) criteria set by the International Maritime Organization (IMO).
ㅇ Acquisition of high-reliability product data and acceleration of commercialization through the establishment of a demonstration infrastructure for the Rotor Sail system
- The establishment of a real-scale testing platform is expected to serve as a foundation for domestic companies to enter emerging market of real-scale energy-saving technology, which represent a new concept in ships.

Smoke and Toxicity Test (IMO. FTP Code Part 2)

Where a material is required not to be capable of producing excessive quantities of smoke and toxic products or not to give rise to toxic hazards at elevated temperatures, the material shall comply with this test. The maximum specific optical density of smoke (Ds max) shall be obtained for each test. When making toxicity measurements, the sampling of fumes shall be made during the testing of the second and the third specimen at each test condition, from the geometrical centre of the chamber at the time when the maximum specific optical density of smoke is reached. The concentration of each toxic gas shall be determined as parts per million (ppm) in the chamber volume.

Performance criteria

		Surface of bulkheads, linings or ceilings	Primary deck coverings	Floor coverings	Plastic pipes
Dm*		≤ 200	≤ 400	≤ 500	≤ 400
Toxicity	CO	≤ 1,450 ppm
	HBr	≤ 600 ppm
	HCl	≤ 600 ppm
	HCN	≤ 140 ppm
	HF	≤ 600 ppm
	SO2	≤ 120 ppm (200 ppm for floor coverings)
	NOx	≤ 350 ppm

*Dm is An average (Dm) of the maximum specific optical density of smoke (Ds max) of three tests at each test condition

Test for Surface Flammability(IMO. Res. a. 653(16) or 687(17))

Where a product is required to have a surface with low flame-spread characteristics, the product shall comply with this test. Where the primary deck coverings are required to be not readily ignitable, they shall comply with this test. The test method involves mounting the conditioned specimen in a well-defined flux field and measuring the time of ignition, spread of flame and its final extinguishment, together with a stack thermocouple signal as an indication of heat release by the specimen during burning. The following data shall be derived from the test results : CFE, Qsb, Qt and Qp.

Performance criteria

	Bulkhead, wall and ceiling linings	Floor coverings	Primary deck coverings
CFE (kW/m2)	≥ 20.0	≥ 7.0	≥ 7.0
Qsb (MJ/m2)	≥ 1.5	≥ 0.25	≥ 0.25
Qt (MJ)	≤ 0.7	≤ 2.0	≤ 2.0
Qp (kW)	≤ 4.0	≤ 10.0	≤ 10.0
Burning droplets	Not produced	No more than 10 burning drops	Not produced

*Where:

CFE = Critical flux at extinguishment
Qsb = Heat for sustained burning
Qt = Total heat release
Qp = Peak heat release rate
