Construction of LNG Carrier Equipped with 4 Wind Challenger Sails

An LNG carrier will be built featuring 4 Wind Challenger rigid sails, a proprietary technology developed by our company, which recently received the WIPO Award.

In the new vessel design, the bridge will be positioned toward the bow, allowing both an increase in the number of Wind Challenger sails installed and the optimization of their placement. This configuration aims to maximize fuel efficiency.

Preliminary estimates indicate that the vessel will achieve up to approximately 30% fuel savings per voyage, with an annual average reduction of 15–20%.
