Spearheading wind-assisted propulsion

WindWings project is a commitment to leading the way towards a zero-carbon future while enhancing vessel efficiency. BAR Technologies believe there is more to be done to harness wind power and push shipping into a greener and more efficient era for the shipping industry.

We cannot wait for future newbuildings to help us meet new regulations and CO2 reductions. There is a need also for refitting of the existing fleet. The WindWings installation is part of Berge Bulk's ambition to become carbon neutral by 2025 and lead the world to a zero-carbon future through safe, efficient, and sustainable shipping. 

In addition to become carbon neutral, WindWings is a way to show the general public that the maritime industry is changing and is contributing to the solution by taking on the challenges. 

What is your view? Do you believe in sails on the current merchant fleet? 

Thank you for listening #everyconversationmatters 


Hosted by Lena Göthberg, the Shipping Podcast is a direct line into the vast, complex, and surprisingly human world of moving goods across the oceans. While global trade relies on this industry's immense scale and logistical prowess, the real story is found in the people who make it function. Each conversation goes beyond cargo and containers to introduce the maritime professionals themselves-captains, engineers, port managers, innovators, and strategists-whose unique backgrounds and on-the-ground experiences shape our connected world. This podcast delves into the practical realities of business, the nuances of managing global operations, and the strategies behind marketing an industry that often operates out of public view. Listeners gain an insider's perspective on the challenges, triumphs, and daily decisions that keep supply chains moving. It’s a focused exploration of a sector that is both foundational and fascinating, aiming to highlight the compelling careers and personalities that define modern shipping. Through these detailed discussions, the Shipping Podcast naturally builds a deeper appreciation for the coolest industry on the planet, elevating its profile one personal story at a time.
