Oceanfoil

Oceanfoil® is the UK based maritime engineering, design and technology company pioneering proven aerofoil wingsail technology to reduce fuel consumption and emissions for commercial vessels. Oceanfoil®’s fuel-assist aerofoil technology uses wingsails to capture effective directional thrust from wind power. Automatically controlled from a computer installed on the bridge and not requiring any crew resource, wingsails are a proven technology. Designed as a fuel assist technology to a conventionally powered vessel, Oceanfoil®’s wingsail technology allows a vessel to operate at the required speed with reduced engine propulsion. In today’s challenging shipping market, where efficiency is at a premium, Oceanfoil®’s wingsail technology delivers much-needed double-digit fuel savings to vessel owners and operators. Oceanfoil®’s revised and improved design of wingsails will be available for retrofitting from the beginning of 2015. Learn more by visiting http://oceanfoil.com/video/.
