WAPS

Recognized globally as a patented three-element rigid sail system, WAPS incorporates a combination of steel and composite materials in its construction. This innovative system utilizes automated adjustments of sail angle and camber, responding to real-time signals to generate over 2.5 times the lift of traditional single-wing sails, ensuring maximum aerodynamic efficiency. With AlP certification and design type approval from renowned 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.

Designed for versatile functionality, the product offers a range of operational modes to optimize performance across various sailing conditions, including navigation, berthing, and extreme weather events. When installed on bulk carriers, the system is positioned strategically across decks between cargo holds to facilitate seamless hatch cover operations and interaction with cargo handling equipment. Its cutting-edge design allows the system to rotate into a laydown position, ensuring safe clearance from hatch covers and machinery.

Bulk carriers equipped with WAPS have demonstrated reliable performance for year, having successfully completed calls at more than 20 major global ports without any incidents.
