World-first: Massive wind wings to power 820-foot tankers, cutting CO2 of 500 cars

Massive 123-foot WindWings, developed by UK's BAR Technologies, will be installed on two 820-foot tankers to revolutionize maritime shipping. This wind-powered propulsion system aims to reduce fuel consumption and emissions significantly. Each tanker is projected to save 3 tons of fuel daily and cut annual CO2 emissions by 2,300 tons, equivalent to removing 500 cars from the road. This deployment on large dual-fuel tankers signals a shift towards wind-assisted propulsion becoming an industry standard, aiding early compliance with IMO 2030 emissions targets.
