37.5m 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

37.5m windwings is a patented three-element rigid sail system with global recognition, constructed from a combination of steel and composite materials. By automatically adjusting sail angle and camber in response to real-time signals, it generates more than 2.5 times the lift of conventional single-wing sails, optimizing aerodynamic performance to the fullest. The technology has achieved certification from AlP and secured design type approval from leading classification societies DNV and BV. Moreover, DNV has independently verified the fuel-saving capabilities of the product in real-world vessel operations.  

Designed for versatility, 37.5m windwings supports multiple operational modes to adapt to varying sailing conditions, including berthing, navigation, and extreme weather scenarios. In bulk carrier applications, considerations such as hatch cover movement and cargo handling equipment functionality are integral to its design. Accordingly, the product is installed along the deck between cargo holds. To maintain safe clearance from hatch covers and machinery, the system can rotate into a laydown position when required.  

To date, bulk carriers fitted with the product have been successfully operational, completing calls at more than 20 major ports worldwide without issues, demonstrating consistent and reliable performance throughout.

Product Details

1. WING CONTROL & SAFETY SYSTEM: Provides automated control and monitoring of health & safety alarms. Includes a manual wing operation interface for the crew and support for maintenance processes.

2. AUTOMATED ALIGNMENT & CAMBER CHANGE: Ensures optimal performance, tailored for each specific vessel. This specialized software determines the best wing orientation and camber shape, maximizing fuel efficiency at all times, and offers live thrust performance reports.

3. WEATHER ROUTING FOR MAXIMUM WIND BENEFIT:  An advanced routing system developed specifically for Wind-Assisted Vessels, accessible via a web interface for shore-based teams or onboard crew. This system includes automated workflow tools to enhance operational efficiency.

4. ROBUST CONSTRUCTION: Made from "ship-grade" steel, industrial E-glass composites, marine-grade hydraulics, and durable control components designed for long-lasting performance.

5. EASY OPERATION & MAINTENANCE: Servicing is simple and familiar to the crew, similar to using a deck crane without the draw gear. Long-term service packages and maintenance support are available.

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

7. LONG LIFESPAN: Engineered and approved to last for 25 years without the need for major component replacements, with the ability to transfer the system between vessels.

8. TILT MECHANISMS: Available both above and below deck, with tilt tables to meet installation needs. Fixed options are also available.

Quality Control

1. Certification of Raw Materials: All materials come from ISO-certified suppliers.

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