Rigid Wing Sail

As a patented three-element rigid sail system recognized worldwide, Rigid Wing Sail combines steel and composite materials in its construction. The system's automated adjustment of sail angle and camber in response to real-time signals enables it to produce more than 2.5 times the lift of traditional single-wing sails, achieving maximum aerodynamic efficiency. With AlP certification and design type approval from leading classification societies DNV and BV, the product has proven its fuel-saving capabilities through DNV-verified real-world vessel operations.

Designed for versatile operation, Rigid Wing Sail features multiple operational modes to handle diverse sailing conditions including navigation, berthing, and severe weather scenarios. When installed on bulk carriers, the system accommodates hatch cover operations and cargo handling equipment by being positioned across decks between cargo holds. Its innovative design allows rotation into a laydown position to maintain safe clearance from hatch covers and machinery.

Bulk carriers equipped with the product have demonstrated reliable performance throughout more than a year of operation, successfully completing calls at over 20 major global ports without incident.
