One year after its arrival in Majuro, the sailing freighter SV Juren Ae is a strong symbol of low-emission shipping, maritime training, and regional cooperation in the Federated States of Micronesia. Since July 2024, the SV Juren Ae has been in test operation between the atolls. Here, real transport tasks were carried out under Pacific conditions The tests have made the project team confident: the performance models, which calculated potential emissions savings of up to 80 per cent compared to conventional ships of similar size, appear to be accurate in reality as well. This achievement is based on the combination of the Indosail sail system with solar and battery storage elements. Final adjustments are currently being made to the rigging system, which includes the masts and sails, and to the battery-powered system for further optimisation by the University of Emden-Leer, a long-standing project partner.
