Anemoi opens rotor sail production hub in China

Anemoi Marine Technologies has inaugurated a new rotor sail manufacturing facility in Jingjiang, Jiangsu Province, significantly boosting production capacity as demand for wind-assisted propulsion accelerates. Strategically located within Daming Heavy Industry’s base on the Yangtze River, the site provides direct access to port infrastructure, allowing efficient barge transport and streamlined installation at nearby shipyards.

"This is more than just a new site … it’s a fully integrated, end-to-end production hub where every stage, from steel fabrication and precision assembly to rigorous testing and quality assurance, is handled under one roof,” said Anemoi CEO Clare Urmston. “That means faster turnaround, uncompromised quality, and complete oversight by our expert team, on site, from start to finish. Anemoi’s strategy is quality first and this site enables exactly that.”

Anemoi’s local presence builds on years of engagement in China, including a strategic partnership with CRRC Qishuyan Institute, a subsidiary of CRRC. Together, they co-designed the facility to support pre-delivery testing of Anemoi’s full suite of rotor sail systems -- fixed, folding, and rail.

Composite rotor skins are manufactured using Anemoi’s patented filament winding process by long-term partner Zhongfu, while Daming Heavy Industries supports steel fabrication and precision assembly. The site has an annual capacity of 250 rotor sails, with expansion potential.
