With a 1MW capacity, it is sized to eliminate the need to operate auxiliary engines while at sea. The shaft generator is driven by the main engine to supply electric power to the vessel, thus saving fuel and reducing emissions. In addition to the installation of the WindWings, Berge Olympus has been retrofitted with a shaft generator system. ![]() This initiative aligns with the new IMO goals, which aim to cut greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from shipping by at least 70% by 2050 and reflects Berge Bulk’s dedication to environmental sustainability and technological advancement. With these fuel savings and CO 2 reductions, Berge Bulk is evaluating the potential of installing WindWings on more of its vessels that trade on routes with favourable wind conditions.īerge Bulk’s WindWings project is a testament to its commitment to lead the way towards a zero-carbon future while enhancing vessel efficiency. With four WindWings installed, each possessing an aerodynamic span of 37.5 metres height and 20 metres width, the Berge Olympus will save 6 tonnes of fuel per day on an average worldwide route and, in the process, reduce CO 2 emissions by approximately 19.5 tonnes per day. 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.Berge Olympus, a Newcastlemax bulker, is equipped with four BARTech WindWings by Yara Marine Technologies that use wind power to reduce fuel consumption and CO 2 emissions.The WindWings installation is part of Berge Bulk’s ambition to become carbon neutral by 2025and marks the Berge Olympus as the world’s most powerful sailing cargo ship. Oslo, 17.10.23 - Berge Bulk, one the world’s leading dry bulk ship owners, launches its Newcastlemax bulker, Berge Olympus, with four retrofitted BARTech WindWings by Yara Marine Technologies. ![]()
