The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed on September 15 at Gastech 2026 in Bangkok, with the aim of assessing the technical feasibility and safety of applying wind-assisted propulsion technology to LNG carriers. The project focuses on HHI's forward accommodation LNG carrier design, which incorporates BAR Technologies' WindWings® system to harness wind as supplementary propulsion, reducing fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.",
