The very first wing sail from Oceanbird, Wing 560, has actually gotten Approval in Principle (AiP) from DNV.
“It is one of the first stiff wing sails that will tilt in hard winds as a safety feature, that gets an Approval in Principle,” said Niclas Dahl, Managing Director, Oceanbird. “Therefore, it is reassuring that DNV supports our safety philosophy since we are now going from vision into realization. In just a few months, we will begin to assemble our first full-scale wing prototypes, which will be onboard a vessel in about one year from now”
Oceanbird have actually asked for that the evaluation ought to consist of files past the minimum demands to minimize unpredictabilities associated with the idea.
