This results in a reduction in of the ship’s resistance. The performance of the Hull Vane® depends on the ship’s length, speed and hull shape in the aft sections, and ranges from 5% to 15% for suitable ships. In specific cases, fuel savings can be up to 20%.
Hull Vane® – Four effects towards improved fuel economy
- Thrust
- Wave Reduction
- Trim Correction
- Reduced Pitching
* improved fuel economy
* reduced emissions
* greater range
* reduced installed propulsion power
for same top speed
* reduced wave formation
* improved seakeeping – reduced
pitching, rolling and yawing
* zero moving parts – no additional
maintenance required
* proven technology
* new build or retrofit
