Vessel details for EEMS TRAVELLER

Eems traveller history.

All details and current position are for informational purposes and VesselTracking is not responsible for the accuracy and reliability of EEMS TRAVELLER data values.

bound4blue, key player in the wind propulsion sector, has successfully installed two 17m-high eSAILs ® on Dutch flagged EemsTraveller, a 2,850dwt general cargo vessel owned by Amasus, which set sail on her first voyage on 4 July 2023.

The eSAIL system, categorized as a suction sail, is based on the use of a thick aerodynamic profile andsmart suction to increase the propulsive efficiency, resulting in a system that produces seven times more lift than an airplane wing.

These sails represent a new and improved generation of the system installed on the La Naumon, delivering higher efficiency with the same size.

Standing at a height of 17m, they continue to hold the record as the largest suction sail ever built and installed on a ship. In fact, the installation of these two sails on EemsTraveller also marks the largest installation of fixed suction sails on a ship to date.

The installation was executed in two distinct phases. A year ago, during a scheduled regular dry-dock of the vessel, the foundations for the eSAILs ® were manufactured and installed in The Netherlands.

The verticalization manoeuvre and connection to the reinforcement of the sails was completed in less than four hours at the Port of Bilbao last week.

In between these two phases bound4blue has been monitoring the ship to obtain its baseline performance, which will be used by a third party to assess the fuel and emission savings results in the next 12 months.

Scientifically validated results are obtained, which can be used to demonstrate the actual effects of the system in use on board of the vessel and form the basis for any future further development.

Bound4blue has installed two eSAILs on the Dutch flagged Eems Traveller, a 2850-DWT general cargo vessel owned by Amasus. With a height of 17 metres, they are said to be the largest suction sails ever built and installed on a ship.

The eSAIL system, categorised as a suction sail, is based on the use of a thick aerodynamic profile and smart suction to increase the propulsive efficiency, resulting in a system that produces seven times more lift than an airplane wing.

These sails represent a new and improved generation of the system installed on the La Naumon, delivering higher efficiency with the same size. In addition to being the largest suction sail ever built and installed on a ship, the installation of these two sails on the Eems Traveller also marks the largest installation of fixed suction sails on a ship to date.

The installation was executed in two distinct phases. One year ago, during a scheduled regular dry-dock of the vessel, the foundations for the eSAILs were manufactured and installed in the Netherlands. The verticalisation manoeuvre and connection to the reinforcement of the sails was completed in less than four hours at the Port of Bilbao last week.

Emission savings monitoring

In between these two phases Bound4blue has been monitoring the ship to obtain its baseline performance, which will be used by a third party to assess the fuel and emission savings results in the next twelve months. In this way, scientifically validated results are obtained, which can be used to demonstrate the actual effects of the system in use on board of the vessel and form the basis for any future further development.

‘In the same way that we need proven sustainable solutions to decarbonise the industry, we also need to implement them as fast and efficiently as possible,’ says José Miguel Bermúdez, CEO of Bound4blue. ‘As evidence of this, we have utilised for the first time the port infrastructure to install our systems, demonstrating that shipowners don’t have to wait for the scheduled maintenance of the ship to start reaping the benefits of wind propulsion.’

Biggest Suction Sails Ever Built Installed On Dutch Short-Sea Cargo Ship- Eems Traveler

Bound4blue, a company based in Spain developing automated wind-assisted propulsion systems, reported that it successfully installed the biggest fixed suction sails ever constructed and put them on a commercial vessel.

They are placed on an active short-sea cargo vessel, the Eems Traveler, a 23-year-old ship owned by Amasus Shipping of the Netherlands. It is 298 ft long, weighs 2,850 dwt, and can ship around 150,000 cubic feet of grains, containers, or large cargo. The contract for the sails was signed in March 2022.

Video Credits: bound4blue / YouTube

The system contains 2 next-gen suction sails installed 56 ft off the deck at the vessel’s stern. The sails utilise a thick aerodynamic profile and smart suction, which increases the propulsive efficiency, leading to a system that generates seven times more lift than the wing of an airplane.

The companies earlier predicted that the sails would decrease carbon emissions by up to 30% in viable conditions.

They also highlighted the ease of operation and installation of the sails. The first installation phase occurred in 2022 during a dry-docking in the Netherlands. During that phase, they constructed and put the foundations for the sails.

The sails were built and transported to Bibao Port, Spain, where they were put on the vessel this week, which took just 4 hours. The company said it was done smoothly and did not need a scheduled maintenance period.

The Ems Traveler is going to return to service. Over the next year, they will collect data on its performance and fuel use. Another company would compare the gathered data with the one from the past year to assess its performance, providing a 3rd party validation.

This system is an improvised version of the same technology on M/V La Nauman. This retired general cargo vessel now functions as an itinerant theatre ship hosting arts programming with an onboard laboratory.

In 2021, the company put a single rigid sail on this ship and reported that it had signed agreements with Louis Dreyfus Armateurs and Marubeni Corporation to install the systems on their vessels too.

Announcing the Hot List Winners of 2024

By CNT Editors

It’s inevitable: Every spring when we pull together the Hot List , our annual collection of the world’s best new hotels, restaurants , and cruise ships , a staffer remarks that this latest iteration has got to be the best one ever. After a year’s worth of traveling the globe—to stay the night at a converted farmhouse in the middle of an olive grove outside Marrakech, or sail aboard a beloved cruise line’s inaugural Antarctic voyage—it’s easy to see why we get attached. But this year’s Hot List, our 28th edition, might really be the best one ever. It’s certainly our most diverse, featuring not only a hotel suite that was once Winston Churchill’s office, but also the world’s largest cruise ship and restaurants from Cape Town to Bali. We were surprised and inspired by this year’s honorees, and we know you will be too. These are the Hot List hotel winners for 2024.

MIAMI – Royal Caribbean has cancelled stops at its private port of Labadee through the summer because of simmering violence in Haiti.

In March, the cruise line canceled stops at the private beach area through May, but this week Royal Caribbean reworked cruise schedules through the summer and into September, a post on the Royal Caribbean Blog said.

“Guests booked on cruises in the summer and early fall are getting notifications from Royal Caribbean that their visits to Labadee have been canceled,” the blog said. “On Tuesday (April 23), cruisers began to share updates they received from Royal Caribbean that their itineraries have been updated to drop Labadee and replace it with another port or a sea day.”

Labadee is a beach area on a peninsula in northern Haiti near Cap-Haitien used exclusively by Royal Caribbean. The cruise line has its own security force at the site, which is walled off from the rest of the country.

The 260-acre site has been leased by Royal Caribbean since the 1980s. It is about a six-hour drive from Haiti’s capital, Port-au-Prince, and thus far has not seen any incidents of violence, the blog said.

More than 2,500 people were killed or injured in gang violence from January to March across Haiti, a more than 50% increase from the same period last year, according to a report Friday by the United Nations Integrated Office in Haiti. The vast majority of violence is in Port-au-Prince .

Cap-Haitien, Haiti’s former capital, has been spared much of the violence and is going through a bit of a resurgence, The Associated Press said . Business owners, anxious parents and even historic state ceremonies have been relocating there, and that began even before gangs started attacking key government infrastructure in Port-au-Prince in late February.

Royal Caribbean International had no formal announcements of the changes posted to its website. Royal Caribbean Blog is an unofficial site for fans of the cruise line and is not affiliated with Royal Caribbean International.

But it cited chatter and messages from cruise ticket holders about changes to their itinerary that showed stops at Labadee were being canceled and replaced with either an extra day of cruising at sea or stops in alternate ports.

A notice from the cruise line, reposted on the blog, informed guests about the change in travel plans, without explicitly mentioning the violence.

“Due to the continuing situation in Haiti, we’ll now visit Grand Turk, Turks & Caicos, instead of Labadee, Haiti,” the notice reads. “We’re sorry for the change – your safety is our top priority. Nevertheless, we’re excited to visit a new port with you!”

Grand Turk is the capital island in the Turks and Caicos archipelago north of Haiti.

Princess Cruises' Star Princess ship delayed, 9 sailings canceled

Travelers will have to wait longer than planned to sail on Princess Cruises’ upcoming ship.

The delivery of Star Princess, which was set to debut next summer, will be pushed back by about two months. The cruise line said the delay was a “mutual” decision with shipbuilder Fincantieri.

“Following a comprehensive review of the remaining construction milestones, both parties have elected to adjust the ship's delivery date from July 29, 2025 to September 26, 2025, which will result in the cancellation of the nine inaugural sailings,” Princess said in a news release .

Guests whose cruises are impacted will be able to rebook on any Princess ship and, depending on which sailing they pick, receive future cruise and onboard credits. They will also be able to opt for a full refund of their fare instead.

“Despite our collective dedication and relentless pursuit to deliver the ship in late July, it has become evident that additional time is required to ensure the Star Princess is delivered to the highest standards expected by our guests,” Princess Cruises President John Padgett said in the release.

Your cruise was canceled: Now what?

The ship’s new inaugural itineraries will include 11 and seven-day Mediterranean cruises on Oct. 4 and 15, 2025, respectively. Those will be followed by a two-week transatlantic voyage to Fort Lauderdale, Florida on Oct. 22, 2025.

Those sailings will be available to book on April 30.

Star Princess will be the second in the line’s Sphere Class. Sister ship Sun Princess was also delayed ahead of its launch earlier this year, with Princess citing “additional technical work” needed at the shipyard.
