  "summary": "Odfjell, the leading deep-sea chemical tanker owner and operator, has selected bound4blue eSAILs® for the second chemical tanker, Bow Optima. The retrofit, scheduled for Q2 2027 in China, follows the installation of bound4blue’s suction sails on Bow Olympus in March 2025. This decision reflects Odfjell's confidence in the technology as part of its fleet decarbonisation strategy. Bow Optima operates in Odfjell's round-the-world trade, supporting the safe and efficient transportation of liquids and chemicals for the company's global customer base. The installation of the four 22m tall suction sails will result in a 15-20% energy-saving effect in good wind conditions, equivalent to approximately five tonnes of fuel saved per day and around 15 tonnes of CO2 emissions avoided per day.",
