BAR Technologies

Congratulations to INEOS Britannia from all at BAR Technologies on reaching the America's Cup final ! We were formed in 2016, a technological offshoot from Sir Ben Ainslie's long and resolute quest for the Auld Mug. We are continually inspired by his determination & success. #innovation #determination - anything is possible 💡 #americascup - 173 years...🏆 #barcelona - get yourself ready! 😎 🎉 Follow BAR Technologies

⏰ Today, 30th September 2024 marks the opening of the Marine Environment Protection Committee's 82nd session at the International Maritime Organization in London! We are closely following the discussions on critical issues like greenhouse gas emissions & energy efficiency. We strongly advocate for the inclusion of wind propulsion in the Greenhouse Gas Fuel Intensity (GFI) formula. Incorporating wind energy not only supports the maritime industry in its transition to sustainable practices but also reinforces the need for innovative, emission-free technologies. Our proven WindWings® technology stands ready to play a pivotal role in this transformation, providing reliable and measurable performance that aligns with the ambitious goals set forth by the IMO. Let's harness the power of the wind and champion initiatives that ensure a sustainable maritime future. Together, we can all work towards a cleaner, greener ocean! 🌍 Follow BAR Technologies #IMO #MEPC82 #WindPropulsion #Innovation #MarineEnvironmentProtection #SustainableShipping

As the Global Maritime Forum releases its 2024 report, “Climate Action in Shipping: Progress toward Shipping’s 2030 Breakthrough”, warning that the shipping industry is falling behind on its decarbonisation targets, BAR Technologies are urging swift action to accelerate progress towards meeting critical climate goals. With just 12 months remaining to make meaningful changes, the window of opportunity to reach the 2030 target of zero-emission fuels comprising 5% of the global shipping fuel mix is rapidly closing. The MEPC 82 discussions at the International Maritime Organization being held next week, offer a pivotal moment for the shipping industry to align on effective solutions to meet its climate goals. Echoing the Global Maritime Forum’s call for urgent measures, BAR Technologies is urging the inclusion of wind propulsion in the Greenhouse Gas Fuel Intensity (GFI) formula. “We strongly advocate for the inclusion of wind propulsion in the Greenhouse Gas Fuel Intensity (GFI) formula,” says John Cooper, CEO of BAR Technologies. “Incorporating wind energy not only supports the maritime industry in its transition to sustainable practices but also reinforces the need for innovative, emission-free technologies. Our proven WindWings® technology stands ready to play a pivotal role in this transformation, providing reliable and measurable performance that aligns with the ambitious goals set forth by the IMO.” #sustainability #decarbonisation #shipsandshipping With thanks to The Motorship and Bunkerspot (and others we’ve missed) for highlighting the urgency and the opportunity for Harry Conway and the MEPC next week. https://lnkd.in/eJbPWVxQ

Harnessing the Power of Wind: A Critical Imperative at MEPC 82 As the Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC) convenes at the International Maritime Organization from 30 September to 4 October, BAR Technologies are eager to see the outcomes of crucial discussions surrounding environmental sustainability in shipping. This year, we stand united under a pivotal principle: the wind is a free and clean fuel that must be harnessed and encouraged. The incorporation of wind propulsion into the Greenhouse Gas Fuel Intensity (GFI) formula is a significant step towards achieving net-zero GHG emissions, aligning with the 2023 IMO Strategy on Reduction of GHG Emissions from Ships. With innovative concepts on the agenda, we support initiatives that advance sustainability and promote the efficient use of wind propulsion as a viable solution in our fight against climate change! #IMO #MEPC82 #SustainableShipping #WindPropulsion #Innovation #MarineEnvironmentProtection Follow BAR Technologies https://lnkd.in/eH7jj4bw

Great timing by Perry Cleveland-Peck and The Wall Street Journal today, linking the innovation & performance of Ben Ainslie's INEOS Britannia with BAR Technologies on another intriguing day of America's Cup racing in beautiful #Barcelona 😎 #windpropulsion #foiling #shipsandshipping #sustainability Follow BAR Technologies https://lnkd.in/gZM579rV

A generation ago, windmills were good for making flour. In 2023 they generated nearly 30% of UK electricity. Design is a bellwether, a sign of things to come. #Windpropulsion is mentioned on over a quarter of the pages of this month’s edition of the preeminent global ship-design periodical, the Royal Institution of Naval Architects magazine. (our very own WindWings®️ have the final word, obvs ;) #windpropulsion #sustainability #shipsandshipping

Fantastic day of sailing from Ben Ainslie and the INEOS Britannia team yesterday: 40knots+ upwind in 14knots of wind, through bumpy seas on a 1m swell: no problem! Awe-inspiring skills + technologies that continue to change how we view the maritime world .

Some GREAT news to kick off SMM Hamburg 2024!! Today is a very big day for our WindWings® range as we expand the offering with new 20-24m models intended for handysize bulkers, product tankers, and other smaller vessels. The new models are a compact & lightweight version of the original patented 3-element WindWing® design and save more than 500t of CO2 per per year at less than 5 years payback. Designed to save 0.7 tonnes of fuel per day per WindWing® (on average on worldwide routes), the 20 & 24m are built on the success of the 37.5m which set new environmental and efficiency standards in shipping. The new models will make wind-assisted propulsion technology accessible to a broader range of vessels. Weighing less than 30 tonnes, the new range are extremely economic and simple to fit on both newbuilds and retrofits. WindWings®’ fuel-saving capabilities were first independently validated by DNV - Maritime in May 2024. Their deployment on vessels such as the Pyxis Ocean and Berge Olympus has already demonstrated a 32% reduction in energy use per nautical mile, solidifying WindWings® as a reliable and independently validated choice for shipowners. With the International Maritime Organization 2030 target of reducing GHG emissions from international shipping by 20-30% only 5.5 years away, WindWings® are now essential for helping shipowners achieve these goals. https://lnkd.in/e-XHYNuD #windpropulsion #shipsandshipping #sustainability #hamburg Follow BAR Technologies
