OceanWings has received a type approval design certificate (TADC) from class society DNV.
This marks a major milestone in the industrial validation of the company’s automated wingsail propulsion system.
The certification confirms that the design of the rigid OceanWings system, in both its tiltable and fixed configurations, meets DNV’s technical and regulatory standards for safety, reliability, and operations.
DNV’s TADC provides a clear pathway for integrating OceanWings on board commercial vessels by streamlining class approvals and reducing technical risk for shipowners, shipyards, and flag states, the company claimed.
OceanWings recently released an LNGC design fitted with two fixed wingsails, which will be highlighted in the October issue of LNG Journal.
