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.
