As the year draws to a close, Oceanbird is ticking off some important milestones. In early December, we welcomed the Tirranna crew for our inaugural training programme.

Oceanbird didn’t start as a company. It began as a bold idea at Wallenius Marine to create a zero emission vessel which took shape with wing sails by bringing in some partners.

An inside look at the Tirranna installation project with Technical Project Manager, Annelie S.

With the successful demonstration of the first wing sail from Oceanbird – Wing 560 – we enter a new phase where rigid wing sails will be a common sight on the oceans.

Amrit will join as Oceanbird’s new CEO, starting 1st of January 2026. She will strengthen the commercial focus as the company enters a new phase following the demonstration of its first wing sail next week.

The last piece of Oceanbird´s first wing sail has arrived at the yard in Landskrona – and it´s not a small piece.

The 40-meter-high steel mast is now installed on the foundation in Landskrona.

The steel mast inside the wing sail will transfer the forces from the wind into the ship to move it forward.

The 100-ton prototype foundation is now standing by the sea in Landskrona. The next step is to install the steel mast and the aerodynamically shaped composites, and then start testing!
