BAR Technologies: WindWings secure BV's stamp of approval
UK-based wind propulsion provider BAR Technologies has received type approval from French class society Bureau Veritas (BV) for its 37.5-meter WindWings, a rigid sail technology that uses wind propulsion.
According to BAR Technologies, the Type Approval Design Certificate (TADC) from BV confirms that WindWings meet international standards, paving the way for the commercially-ready system to be adopted by ship owners and operators.
UK shipping company Union Maritime is among the first to install the wind-assisted propulsion solution under BV certification.
The certification from BV makes WindWings one of the few solutions approved by multiple class societies, following the TADC from DNV awarded in 2023.
