Cork firm Dare Technology to make waves in marine industry

Dare is raising funds for a portable wind turbine that can generate power when a ship is stationary, writes Trish Dromey.

Following its successful testing of the world’s first commercial-scale portable wind turbine for ships, Cork company Dare Technology is set to make waves in the marine industry.

Earlier in the summer, the prototype of the 5kw turbine, which can be used to generate electricity when a ship is stationary, provided power for the Irish Naval Service ship, the LÉ Aisling, during a test.
