Turkish group Nakkaş Shipping & Trading Co has confirmed that a decade of tanker-focused work with Berg Propulsion will culminate in the delivery of its 10th system from the technology provider in 2026.

The ATEX-proof Wind-Assisted Ship Propulsion units were installed in just four days in the port of Rotterdam.

The LR-classed vessel is fitted with three 37.5-metre-tall WindWings® developed by UK-based BAR Technologies.

Real-time data from the voyage confirms that this dual propulsion approach is not only technically feasible but also impactful

Up to five of these vessels will be the largest ships under the Swedish flag.

Two more are scheduled for delivery later this year, with the fourth and final vessel expected in 2026.

Together, the two companies are delivering innovative energy efficiency solutions for merchant vessels, reducing fuel consumption, minimising carbon emissions, and accurately measuring the savings enabled by Norsepower Rotor Sails™.

With CARB’s 2020 Regulation for tanker’s emission control compliance in effect from 1 January 2025, ports and shipowners worldwide are facing increasing pressure to adopt shore power solutions.

The integrated package includes the high-performance and fuel flexible Wärtsilä 32 main engine.

The trial is to cover six tankers, addressing optimization opportunities covering engine, hull and propeller and auxiliary systems and other solutions to lower emissions and reduce environmental footprint
