Bar Technologies (Bar), a provider of wind-powered propulsion systems for ships, has entered into a partnership agreement with Nervion Naval Offshore (Nervion), a provider of floating offshore wind platforms, to wholly manage and oversee the production of Bar Technologies’ WindWings in Europe.
Nervion is owned by Amper Group and has factories in Ferrol and As Somozas, Galicia, Spain. Under the terms of the agreement, Nervion will manage the value chain of procurement and construction of WindWings, and their installation throughout all the shipyards in Europe. Additionally, Nervion will manage the servicing of WindWings during their operational life cycle, alongside providing training on the operation of the wing sails for vessel crews. Bar Technologies will retain the obligation to continue to innovate and establish additional WindWings sizes and offerings. Bar’s agreement with Nervion adds to its existing partnership with China Merchants (CMET), the latter offering sales and manufacture in Asia.
