Berge Bulk wants ‘to get hands dirty’ testing various wind sails on its ships

Singapore-based Berge Bulk has emerged as a front runner among shipowners prepared to experiment with a basket of wind propulsion technologies as it aims to learn how best to cut fuel use and emissions.

Next year, the company will install WindWings sails developed by BAR Technologies on a 210,000-dwt bulker and rotor sails built by Anemoi Marine Technologies on two other large bulk carriers.
