Hull Vane BV is a Netherlands-based company, which provides and develops innovative solutions to improve a vessels comfort, performance and seakeeping. These solutions include Hull Vane® and Foil Assist.
Hull Vane®
Hull Vane® is a patented energy-saving device for low to medium-speed displacement vessels. 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 25%. The Hull Vanes are available in three variants, the T- and U-shaped and the Dynamic Hull Vane®.
Foil Assist
Foil Assist is an application mounted mid-ship on fast planing craft. By taking up to 50% of the boat’s weight on the foil, rather than the hull, the efficiency and seakeeping in waves are improved significantly. Foil Assist is the solution to back problems for crews who operate on fast RHIBs in waves for prolonged periods of time. Foil Assist also ensures a higher speed can be maintained in waves, while keeping all the advantages of a normal planing craft, with inboard propulsion, waterjets, sterndrives, IPS, or outboard engines.
