Wind Power Propulsion

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

As a patented three-element rigid sail system recognized globally, Wind Power Propulsion integrates steel and composite materials into its construction. This innovative system leverages automated adjustments of sail angle and camber that respond to real-time signals, enabling it to generate over 2.5 times the lift of traditional single-wing sails, thus achieving maximum aerodynamic efficiency. With AlP certification and design type approval from esteemed classification societies such as DNV and BV, the product has validated its fuel-saving capabilities through DNV-verified real-world vessel operations.

Designed for versatile functionality, the product offers multiple operational modes to effectively manage various sailing conditions, including navigation, berthing, and extreme weather scenarios. When deployed on bulk carriers, the system is strategically situated across decks between cargo holds, allowing for seamless hatch cover operations and interaction with cargo handling equipment. Its cutting-edge design permits rotation into a laydown position, thereby ensuring safe clearance from hatch covers and machinery.

Bulk carriers equipped with Wind Power Propulsion have shown reliable performance throughout more than year of operation, successfully completing calls at over 20 major global ports without incident.
