WindWaves expands European partnership with BAR, having previously agreed to manufacture and sell BAR’s 37.5m WindWings® Smaller 20m & 24m WindWings® set to open up immense opportunity for wind propulsion on smaller vessels within Europe, and globally. Monday 11th November 2024 – BAR Technologies (BAR), a wind propulsion leader and innovative simulation-driven marine engineering consultancy, has announced an expansion of its partnership with WindWaves (formerly Nervion Naval Offshore), a pioneer in floating offshore wind platforms, for the latter to manufacture, sell, and deliver BAR’s new 20/24m WindWings® wing sail design within Europe, reports Bar Technologies.
Drydocks
The deal will give European customers, and customers utilising drydocks in the region, access to an enhanced provision of products across the WindWings® range.
The new 20-24m WindWings® models are a compact & lightweight version of the original patented 3-element design, which save more than 500t of CO2 per WindWing® per year at less than five years payback.
Roberto Bouzas, General Manager, WindWaves, commented: “Shipping is in the midst of enormous transformational change, both in terms of regulations and commercial needs. Benefitting from our history in manufacturing for the wind sector, we look forward to supporting BAR Technologies with their new 20m-24m WindWings®, and continuing the trajectory towards a cleaner and decarbonised global shipping sector.”
