Following the launch of the new 20m and 24m WindWings in September 2024, BAR Technologies and CM Energy Tech Co., Ltd (CMET) entered into a collaboration agreement to begin production of these models. This move comes in response to the increasing market demand from shipowners and operators of Handymax bulkers, chemical tankers, and general cargo vessels. The introduction of these new models aims to make wind-assisted propulsion accessible to a wider range of vessel types.
WindWings boasts a fail-safe self-feathering system that can handle extreme conditions, including winds of up to 100 knots. The BAR Technologies WindWings feature a patented three-element wing design, which the founder claims generates 2.5 times the lift of traditional single-element wings.
