Dutch based ship developer eConowind has actually been touched to provide among their cutting-edge “ventifoil” wind-assisted propulsion systems onboard a 3,600 DWT freight ship, noting the very first industrial order of the system.

The system will certainly be mounted aboard the Van Dam Shipping’s basic freight vessel Ankie with distribution in the 4th quarter of 2019.

The Ventifoil wind-assist system has actually been created over the last 3 years with aid from an EU give. The system utilizes non-rotating wings with vents and also an interior follower which utilizes border layer suction to minimize drag and also enhance gas performance.

“After several years of development and testing we are very happy to take this next big step: a first commercial installation to show that saving energy and emissions can mean saving money at the same time,” stated Frank Nieuwenhuis, chief executive officer of eConowind. “We are confident that such an innovative company as van Dam Shipping will manage to get the most out of the system and we are really excited to share the results in the coming months.”

Van Dam Shipping approximates that the system might create sufficient gas cost savings to cover the first financial investment in simply 3 years.

“We expect the reduction in fuel costs over a period of approx. three years will equal the costs of the system and thus fulfill our dream of using the wind again in modern shipping, which has been 40 years in the making,” stated Jan van Dam, proprietor of Van Dam Shipping.

Van Dam Shipping’s fleet includes 8 vessels running in Northwest of Europe, consisting of 6 vessels that concentrate on transiting the Saima Canal inFinland
