Hull Vane

Hull Vane BV is a Netherlands-based company, which provides and develops innovative solutions to improve a vessels comfort, performance and seakeeping. The Hull Vane® is a patented submerged stern wing designed to reduce a displacement or semi-displacement ship’s resistance and motion in waves. Combining Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and our in-depth knowledge of hydrodynamics, we can customise and optimise the design of the Hull Vane® to achieve the highest level of performance. Depending on a vessels suitability and factors such as its length, speed and hull design, a Hull Vane® can reduce fuel consumption by anywhere between 5 and 20%, and in some cases even 25% savings are attainable. Hull Vane® is available in three variants: the T-series, the U-series and the specials, which are fully customised. All types are optionally available as an active pitch stabilizer, called Dynamic Hull Vane®.
