UK-based shipping company Union Maritime (UML) and compatriot design and engineering firm BAR Technologies have received a green light from the Marshall Islands flag for the former company’s dual-fuel liquefied natural gas (LNG) tanker duo fitted with wind propulsion systems.

As disclosed, the approval, which has confirmed that the two maritime players’ proposals covering bridge visibility, navigational lights and radar line of sight for the two ships fitted with BAR Technologies’ WindWings solution, comes on the heels of a review and approval by classification society Lloyd’s Register (LR).
