Sail

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

The product is a globally patented three-element rigid sail system that integrates steel and composite materials in its design. This innovative system employs automated adjustments of product angle and camber, responding to real-time signals to achieve over 2.5 times the lift of conventional single-wing products, thereby maximizing aerodynamic efficiency. With AlP certification and design type approval from distinguished classification societies such as DNV and BV, the fuel-saving performance of the product has been validated through real-world vessel operations, verified by DNV.

Engineered for versatility, sail offers multiple operational modes, ensuring optimal performance across diverse sailing conditions, including navigation, berthing, and extreme weather. When deployed on bulk carriers, the system is strategically positioned across the decks between cargo holds, allowing seamless hatch cover operations and integration with cargo handling equipment. The system’s advanced design allows it to rotate into a laydown position, ensuring safe clearance from hatch covers and machinery.

Bulk carriers fitted with the product have shown consistent performance for year, completing calls at more than 20 major global ports without any incidents.
