Maritime shipping represents an investment opportunity with global impact

International shipping transports 90% of all goods, vital for world trade and the economy. Without it, the bulk transportation of raw materials and the import/export of food and goods would not be possible. The shipping industry has reached a substantial tipping point regarding energy consumption. Fuel costs consume a meaningful fraction of the industry’s revenue. And while the lifeblood of the global economy, shipping is a significant source of air pollution. So, there is an economic and environmental problem to be solved. 


*Rendering of Magnuss VOSS. Images are computer-generated demo versions. The product is currently under development.

THE PROBLEM


Shipping is costly and takes a major toll on the environment

With high fuel costs, and air pollution under ever-increasing scrutiny and regulation, the shipping industry faces economic and environmental challenges:


  • Economic - costly fuel represents a high percentage of bulk cargo shipping expense.
  • Environmental - the shipping industry is among the highest CO2 emitters worldwide, ranking sixth on a list of nations, between Germany and Japan.  Today, shipping is responsible for one billion tons of CO2 per year; that’s more carbon annually than is produced by all the cars in the US. 


The recognized threat that these emissions have for the planet will thus increase an already significant fuel cost.



THE SOLUTION


Harness the wind to power ships – thereby increasing fuel economy and reducing harmful CO2 emissions 

At Magnuss, we have developed and patented a solution that increases fuel economy and reduces harmful emissions, by harnessing the wind. This addresses major problems facing the global shipping industry in terms of energy consumption and environmental impact. The idea is to augment ship propulsion with sails and supplement a ship’s installed engine power with a wind-based propulsion system, to deliver three benefits: 


  • predictable, repeatable, industry acknowledged fuel savings up to 50% for an industry breaking its back to save 2-4%, 
  • a substantial and differentiated means to reduce carbon emissions in the face of tightening regulations, and 
  • an industry and class-approved design that meets the needs of today’s global oceanic shipping industry.

Our solution aims to dramatically reduce a ship’s fuel consumption and carbon footprint, predicated on a proven technology, re-engineered to fit today’s global shipping infrastructure.


*Rendering of Magnuss VOSS. Images are computer-generated demo versions. The product is currently under development.


WHAT WE DO


Game-changing tech, delivering wind power to the world’s shipping fleet 

Inspired by past ingenuity, Magnuss re-imagined sail technology, called the Flettner rotor, first sea-trialed in the 1920’s by aviation engineer Anton Flettner. At Magnuss, we improved the Flettner rotor design by making it transformable. Introducing the Magnuss VOSS or Vertically-variable Ocean Sail System, a wind-based propulsion system embedded in a cargo ship as a retrofit.


The Magnuss VOSS, is the cutting-edge mechanical sail that can be installed in new and existing vessels with the potential to slash fuel consumption and emissions in half. The Magnuss VOSS augments a ship’s installed engine power with a propulsion system that converts wind into forward thrust. Its game-changing innovation is retractability—allowing the sail to be stowed below deck and free up port operations. 


At scale, the VOSS design will be a 100-foot tall spinning, hollow, metal cylinder that propels a ship using the principle of physics called the Magnus effect, which is quite common. It’s the reason a spinning ball curves in mid-air. The Magnus effect is a force produced perpendicular to the wind direction when an axially-symmetric, rotating object is placed in a wind stream. It is worth noting that the VOSS does not create electricity (it is not a wind turbine). It creates thrust. Ideally, four to six VOSS units will be deployed aboard the biggest ships in the world to reduce a ship’s fuel consumption and carbon footprint.


*Rendering of Magnuss VOSS. Images are computer-generated demo versions. The product is currently under development.


HOW WE ARE DIFFERENT


Retractability is key

The competitive landscape is lean. Several firms exploring soft sails, rigid sails and kites are inferior to the Flettner rotor-based systems, such as the VOSS, because they exhibit a lower lift coefficient and a higher cost per pound of thrust. A few competitive sail systems have emerged while falling short of delivering a robust high-quality product applicable for modern shipping. 

The Magnuss VOSS stands above conventional vertically-fixed, Flettner-based systems in its innovative, patented design features. The key innovation and chief competitive advantage of the Magnuss VOSS is retractability. It can be fully retracted and stowed below deck, out of the way (different from all other current and past fixed Flettner rotor designs). This signature feature is important, especially for dry bulk carriers, when loading/unloading in port and for reducing drag in unsuitable conditions at sea.

THE MARKET


The market opportunity is large, leading to meaningful economic and environmental benefits

Global shipping has roughly 55,000 ships, which comprise today’s merchant world fleet. More than three-quarters of these ships are cargo ships, tankers, and dry bulk carriers - the total addressable market for Magnuss. Our initial target market is the dry bulk carrier sector comprising 12,258 ships, which are ideally suited for the Magnuss VOSS design. Of these ships, we are focused first on the largest, gearless bulk carriers which typically carry grain and iron ore. From this sector alone, the financial value created annually by reducing fuel consumption and harmful emissions is meaningful.


(Source) The above data is from varying sources including the UN Maritime Transport Review report, and Statista Research.

OUR TRACTION


Magnuss now preparing to cut steel on a full-scale project for dry bulk carriers 

After nearly a decade of extensive investment in design, certification, patents, and customer validation, and drawing on shipping operational and technical expertise and support, Magnuss is ready to expand! Patented across 16 countries, the Magnuss VOSS is approved by Lloyd’s Register, the UK classification society, meaning the design meets the highest standard for quality in global shipping. We have a full- scale ship deployment plan in place, through our joint industry work with ship owners, charterers and shipyards. And our savings and performance analytics have been verified by Lloyd’s Register in its newly released 2021 Report. Today, Magnuss is seeking capital as it continues in collaboration with industry partners, spanning the next 12-18 months to develop one of the largest ever, wind-based propulsion projects and unlock customer demand for more fuel-efficient dry bulk shipping. 




THE BUSINESS MODEL


Direct sales and multiple revenue streams to provide ample reach within our industry 

Our business model is direct sales to customers and employs several distribution channels. Revenues are generated from selling / financing VOSS units and driven by ship deployments. The Magnuss VOSS units are sold directly to shipowners or may be deployed with 3rd party financing. We provide our customers with value by reducing the need for fuel to propel the vessel and helping them meet the demands of increasing environmental legislation. And our contract manufacturing approach affords capital efficiency, high free cash flow, low-cost production, low overhead and limited inventory. 


A unique element of the Magnuss go-to-market strategy is its Save As You Sail project finance model. To scale the business, Magnuss can leverage project finance, fully supported by a share of the savings to accelerate deployment at no cost to the ship owner. 

a global impact


Worldwide shipping moving aggressively to prepare for future regulations and a cleaner way to ship

Measures that make shipping economically efficient and environmentally friendly are attracting a lot of attention. Leading industrials and global shipping firms need not be convinced that managing fuel requirements directly result in improved financial performance and reduced regulatory risk. The Sustainable Shipping Initiative (SSI) is a multi-stakeholder collective working to accelerate sustainable development in the shipping industry through cross-sectoral collaboration. SSI members selected Magnuss for a case study resulting in a favorable review. 



The past two years have marked a turning point, where an increasing emphasis on combating climate change led to an elevated focus on sustainable solutions among the players in commercial maritime shipping. At a macro level, the industry and the regulators committed to more sustainable practices. Meanwhile, at a micro level, individual organizations answered the bell to curb harmful greenhouse gas emissions. Specifically, ship owners and charterers moved aggressively to prepare for future regulations, support sustainable operations, and manage the environmental impact of their fleets. The main driver continues to be evolving regulation.


The Global Maritime Forum unveiled in 2020 a set of working principles on behalf of charterers that reflect a bias to ships actively reducing their carbon footprint. Coupled with the Poseidon Principles, a self-governing climate alignment agreement amongst financial institutions, the Sea Cargo Charter demonstrates charterers’ commitment, alongside the banks' commitment, to reducing the shipping industry's carbon footprint.


In June, the International Maritime Organization adopted technical and operational measures to reduce the carbon intensity of international shipping, taking effect January 2023. With new regulations and customer driven carbon requirements on the horizon, the sector is set to become increasingly more sustainable. This is good news for emissions reduction technologies such as the Magnuss VOSS. 


THE VISION


Providing the number one solution to the shipping industry’s biggest challenges

Magnuss was established to address the major problems facing the global shipping industry, with a focus on energy consumption and environmental impact. Our goal at Magnuss is to transform the world’s cargo fleet into a more efficient, low cost, low polluting, means of ocean transport. We aim to lead the shipping industry in a more cost effective and sustainable direction, capturing a significant market share of today’s commercial fleet.

1. The Magnuss VOSS Analytic Model Review was done in Year 2021 but the voyages specified was in Year 2014. Obviously the best voyager in history was picked for review. Can you share the best saving, worse saving and average saving? I believe investors and ship builders can get better picture this way. 2. I read an article about Norsepower and it mention "Preparations for the retrofit will take place in November 2019 with the installation scheduled for Q2 2020". Seems like to retrofit vessel it may take over 6 months from planning to completion. How Magnuss can scale up and do it for 500 vessels per year? (Assume Over 10,000 Dry Bulk Carriers/20 Years) 3. What is the expected profit margin? 4. Can Magnuss earn/claim carbon credits? 5. Can you talk more about exit plan or dividend plan?

For any potential investors reading comments and/or looking for additional leads for due diligence, I feel it's important to re-emphasize the fact that international legislation will soon place requirements for ocean freight shippers (some taking effect as soon as January 2023). For example, under international laws, all big vessels will be rated from A to E by how much carbon dioxide flows from their stacks for every mile traveled and ton carried. Even today, at the time of this writing, some ship owners are trying to find exemptions or ways around the legislation without success (AP News article link below). To make this clear: the policy trend is set. With increasing demand for transparent supply chains, these ratings will likely impact contract decisions and awards for shipping companies. And obviously, the Magnuss VOSS can help dry bulk carriers improve efficiency and obtain a competitive advantage. In other words, the Magnuss VOSS is a perfect example of a "triple bottom line" product and offers a solution for a win-win-win. Finally, during the pandemic, shipping companies have seen record profits. They're flush with cash and will be looking to expand fleets or modernize/refit current assets. This presents another opportunity for Magnuss to strike while the iron is hot. With this mentioned, I share in the vision. I like the product and patents (#US8746162B2, #US20160257388A1). I think the timing is right. It's why I'm an investor in Magnuss. https://apnews.com/article/politics-climate-and-environment-pollution-weather-business-f0b5a37148a21fa21dd6ecccea37a2b8

Hello, I invested in Magnuss because I think it's a great idea, seems simple and elegant enough for anyone to understand and buy into. The hard part is manufacturing the product for an acceptable cost and making sure it works in the real world. But in the meantime you need some funding and it doesn't look like you are getting enough traction here; have you considered being featured in some of those Youtube channels looking into new and disruptive technologies that help solve the Climate crisis? I've heard about your company and tech briefly on one of those channels and then found Magnuss randomly several months later on StartEngine. Some of those channels include Just Have A Think, Disruptive Investing and Undecided With Matt Ferrel. I hope this helps!

FAQS

With Regulation A+, a non-accredited investor can only invest a maximum of 10% of their annual income or 10% of their net worth per year, whichever is greater. There are no restrictions for accredited investors.

With Regulation Crowdfunding, non-accredited investors with an annual income or net worth less than $124,000 are limited to invest a maximum of 5% of the greater of those two amounts. For those with an annual income and net worth greater than $124,000, they are limited to investing 10% of the greater of the two amounts.

At the close of an offering, all investors whose funds have “cleared” by this time will be included in the disbursement. At this time, each investor will receive an email from StartEngine with their Countersigned Subscription Agreement, which will serve as their proof of purchase moving forward.

Please keep in mind that a company can conduct a series of “closes” or withdrawals of funds throughout the duration of the campaign. If you are included in that withdrawal period, you will be emailed your countersigned subscription agreement and proof of purchase immediately following that withdrawal.

StartEngine assists companies in raising capital, and once the offering is closed, we are no longer involved with whether the company chooses to list shares on a secondary market or what occurs thereafter. Therefore, StartEngine has no control or insight into your investment after the close of the live offering. In addition, we are not permitted to provide financial advice. You may want to contact a financial professional to discuss possible investment outcomes.

For Regulation Crowdfunding, investors are able to cancel their investment at any point throughout the campaign up until 48 hours before the closing of the offering. Note: If the company does a rolling close, they will post an update to their current investors, giving them the opportunity to cancel during this timeframe. If you do not cancel within this 5-day timeframe, your funds will be invested in the company, and you will no longer be able to cancel the investment. If your funds show as ‘Invested’ on your account dashboard, your investment can no longer be canceled.

For Regulation A+, StartEngine allows for a four-hour cancellation period. Once the four-hour window has passed, it is up to each company to set their own cancellation policy. You may find the company’s cancellation policy in the company’s offering circular.

Once your investment is canceled, there is a 10-day clearing period (from the date your investment was submitted). After your funds have cleared the bank, you will receive your refund within 10 business days.

Refunds that are made through ACH payments can take up to 10 business days to clear. Unfortunately, we are at the mercy of the bank, but we will do everything we can to get you your refund as soon as possible. However, every investment needs to go through the clearing process in order to be sent back to the account associated with the investment.

Both Title III (Regulation Crowdfunding) and Title IV (Reg A+) help entrepreneurs crowdfund capital investments from unaccredited and accredited investors. The differences between these regulations are related to the investor limitations, the differing amounts of money companies are permitted to raise, and differing disclosure and filing requirements.

Investing in private company securities is not suitable for all investors. An investment in private company securities is highly speculative and involves a high degree of risk. It should only be considered a long-term investment. You must be prepared to withstand a total loss of your investment. Private company securities are also highly illiquid, and there is no guarantee that a market will develop for such securities. Each investment also carries its own specific risks, and you should complete your own independent due diligence regarding the investment. This includes obtaining additional information about the company, opinions, financial projections, and legal or other investment advice. Accordingly, investing in private company securities is appropriate only for those investors who can tolerate a high degree of risk and do not require a liquid investment. See additional general disclosures here.

StartEngine Marketplace (“SE Marketplace”) is a website operated by StartEngine Primary, LLC (“SE Primary”), a broker-dealer that is registered with the SEC and a member of FINRA and the SIPC.

StartEngine Secondary (“SE Secondary”) is our investor trading platform. SE Secondary is an SEC-registered Alternative Trading System (“ATS”) operated by SE Primary that matches orders for buyers and sellers of securities. It allows investors to trade shares purchased through Regulation A+, Regulation Crowdfunding, or Regulation D for companies who have engaged StartEngine Secure LLC as their transfer agent. The term “Rapid,” when used in relation to transactions on SE Marketplace, specifically refers to transactions that are facilitated on SE Secondary, This is because, unlike with trades on the StartEngine Bulletin Board (“SE BB”), trades on SE Secondary are executed the moment that they are matched.

StartEngine Bulletin Board (“SE BB”) is a bulletin board platform on which users can indicate to each other their interest to buy or sell shares of private companies that previously executed Reg CF or Reg A offerings not necessarily through SE Primary. As a bulletin board platform, SE BB provides a venue for investors to access information about such private company offerings and connect with potential sellers. All investment opportunities on SE BB are based on indicated interest from sellers and will need to be confirmed. Even if parties express mutual interest to enter into a trade on SE BB, a trade will not immediately result because execution is subject to additional contingencies, including among others, effecting of the transfer of the shares from the potential seller to the potential buyer by the issuer and/or transfer agent. SE BB is distinct and separate from SE Secondary. SE Secondary facilitates the trading of securities by matching orders between buyers and sellers and facilitating executions of trades on the platform. By contrast, under SE BB, SE Primary assists with the facilitation of a potential resulting trade off platform including, by among other things, approaching the issuer and other necessary parties in relation to the potential transaction. The term “Extended”, when used in relation to transactions on SE Marketplace denotes that these transactions are conducted via SE BB, and that these transactions may involve longer processing times compared to SE Secondary for the above-stated reasons.

Even if a security is qualified to be displayed on SE Marketplace, there is no guarantee an active trading market for the securities will ever develop, or if developed, be maintained. You should assume that you may not be able to liquidate your investment for some time or be able to pledge these shares as collateral.

StartEngine does not (1) make any recommendations or otherwise advise on the merits or advisability of a particular investment or transaction, (2) assist in the determination of the fair value of any security or investment, or (3) provide legal, tax, or transactional advisory services.
