Magnuss Ltd. is a leading renewable energy ship propulsion technology firm. We deliver onboard systems that reduce fuel consumption and emissions for today’s global shipping fleet. Our Vertically-variable Ocean Sail System (VOSS™) is a rotating, retractable cylinder that harnesses the wind to produce ship propulsion by means of the Magnus Effect, wherein a rotating cylinder in an air stream generates a force roughly perpendicular to the air stream. We work with companies to design, implement, finance and maximize value from production and installation of the Magnuss VOSS™.
Magnuss’ customers include leading industrial companies and global shipping organizations that believe adopting a proactive plan to understand and manage their fuel requirements will lead to improved financial performance, fuel savings, reduced regulatory risk and a sustainable competitive advantage. The Magnuss VOSS™ technology can save vessels up to 50% in fuel costs. Our proprietary, patent-protected VOSS™ design is scalable and applicable to over 50,000 vessels worldwide. Virtually all existing cargo vessels and new builds can be retrofitted or outfitted with the Magnuss VOSS™ wind propulsion system.
