Dual-Fuel Methanol MR Tankers equipped with two Rigid Tiltable Wingsails (OW RT)
EuroGreen Maritime SAS (the shipowner) solidified its commitment to environmental excellence by entering into a seven-year charter agreement for four MR Tankers with the Norwegian energy company Equinor. The Tankers will be equipped with our OceanWings Wind Assisted Propulsion System (WAPS) ensuring smooth loading and unloading processes to address existing port operations constraints.
Canopée RoRo, equipped with four Lowerable Fixed Wingsails (OW LF)
Alizée (the shipowner) was looking for a shallow-draft Ro-Ro vessel with an efficient and reliable Wind Assisted Propulsion System(WAPS) on a transatlantic route. Design criteria included a light weight system and small deck footprint (ie 2.5m wide) to match both the stability drivers and the cargo hold design.
ULTRAMAX Bulk carrier retrofitted with one Rigid Tiltable wingsails (OW RT)
With an extremely busy newbuilding market, retrofit solutions are essential for Bulk Carriers to meet the IMO objectives. The European funded WHISPER project aims to prove the technical and economic viability of Wind Assisted Propulsion Systems (WAPS) for an Ultramax Bulk Carrier. The integration is planned by mid 2026. On one hand, it is key to achieve a wide operating window as 87% of apparent wind angles on trading routes are below 75° as per an IMO report. On the other hand, the wingsails should be stowed seamlessly to allow efficient loading and off-loading operations inside existing terminals.
Concept design for seagoing Container ships
After a class-approved concept design, OceanWings have been developing a unique Rigid Elevator Wingsail (OW RE) which has been lately preselected by a few owners. The Rigid Elevator Wingsail (OW RE) allows to have a limited impact on cargo space (no loss of TEU), not interfere with gantry cranes at port and be compatible with critical stability drivers.
Container ship equipped with six Rigid Elevator Wingsails (OW RE)
Co-developed with VPLP and ALWENA SHIPPING, the Container ship will be equipped with siw Lowerbale Fixed OceanWings (OW RE) and two electric motors. The vessel will reduce CO₂ emissions by around 35% on the scale of an Atlantic crossing. The Trade Wing 2 500 concept demonstrates the feasibility and real opportunity of using Wind Assisted Propulsion Systems (WAPS) on this type of vessel, with its severe operational constraints.
