24m windwings

WindWings® is a three-element rigid sail with patented technology from BART in the UK. The camber(shape) and angle of attack to the wind are fully adjustable to ensure the optimal configuration is always achievable, maximizing its aerodynamic performance. WindWing's performance has been independently verified by renowned fluid dynamics research institutions Wolfson Unit and Lloyds, and certified by DNV.
Product Model: 20m, 24m, 37.5m
Product Description

24m windwings is a globally patented three-element rigid sail that combines steel and composite materials in its structure. It automatically adjusts the angle and camber of the sail based on incoming signals, resulting in over 2.5 times more lift compared to traditional single-wing sails, thus maximizing aerodynamic efficiency. The product has received the AlP certificate and design type approval from DNV and BV. Additionally, the fuel-saving performance of the product on actual vessels has been verified by DNV.

The product offers multiple operating modes to accommodate diverse ship navigation, berthing, and operational conditions, even under stormy weather. When applied to bulk carriers, the opening and closing of hatch covers, as well as the operation of loading and unloading equipment, must be taken into account. As a result, the product can be installed across the deck between cargo holds. To ensure clearance with hatch covers and machinery, the product is designed to rotate into a laydown position.

To date, bulk carriers equipped with 24m windwings have been in operation for over a year, successfully docking and unloading at more than 20 major ports worldwide, consistently performing well.

Product Details

1. WING CONTROL & SAFETY SYSTEM: Ensures complete automation control and health & safety alarm monitoring. It includes a vessel interface for manual wing operation and maintenance processes.

2. AUTOMATED ALIGNMENT & CAMBER CHANGE: Responsible for performance control, customized for each vessel. This bespoke software calculates the optimal wing orientation and camber shape, ensuring maximum fuel savings at all times, and provides live thrust reports.

3. WEATHER ROUTING FOR MAXIMUM WIND BENEFIT: A specialized, state-of-the-art routing system developed for Wind Assisted Vessels. Accessible via a web interface for use by shore-based teams or onboard staff, the system includes a variety of automated workflow tools to maximize efficiency.

4. ROBUST CONSTRUCTION: Built from "ship-grade" steel, industrial E-glass composites, marine-grade hydraulics, and control components designed for minimal wear and tear.

5. SIMPLE OPERATION & MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS: Regular servicing is straightforward and familiar to the crew, similar to operating a deck crane without the draw gear. Long-term maintenance and service packages are available.

6. CLASS APPROVAL: Fully approved by DNV, LR, and BV.

7. LONG LIFE: Designed, engineered, and approved for a lifespan of 25 years without major component replacement; can be transferred between vessels.

8. TILT MECHANISMS: Available above and below deck with "tilt tables" to meet installation requirements, with fixed options also available.

Quality Control

1. Raw Material Certification: All materials are sourced from ISO-certified suppliers.

2. Classification Society Certification: Fully certified by DNV, LR, and CCS.
