In hybrid and electric vessels, hydrodynamic efficiency directly affects energy demand.

Sea trials on the hybrid patrol vessels POA-1 and POA-2 demonstrated measurable reductions in required propulsion power with Hull Vaneยฎ installed:

Why does this matter?

For hybrid and electric vessels, reduced resistance impacts far more than fuel consumption alone.

As maritime propulsion continues shifting toward electrification and alternative fuels, hydrodynamic optimisation is becoming part of the vesselโ€™s total energy strategy.

The maritime industry is debating which fuel will power the future, but thereโ€™s one thing we already know:
Future fuels will cost significantly more per unit of energy than diesel.

Whether itโ€™s methanol, ammonia, hydrogen, or batteries, wasted energy is becoming more expensive than ever. Thatโ€™s why efficiency matters more than the fuel itself.

Hull Vaneยฎ is fuel-agnostic.

Weโ€™re not here to pick the winning fuel. Weโ€™re here to reduce how much fuel you need in the first place.

By improving hydrodynamics at the source (the hull-wave interaction), we reduce resistance and cut total energy consumption, regardless of propulsion type.

The idea is simple:
Donโ€™t just change the fuel. Change the demand.

Because whether itโ€™s diesel today or ammonia tomorrow, the most expensive energy is the energy you waste.

Designed from the ground up for performance, efficiency, and passenger comfort, this vessel reflects a new generation of maritime thinking.

Weโ€™re especially proud to see our Hull Vaneยฎ technology installed on board: a fixed hydrofoil system that helps reduce fuel consumption while improving stability by damping pitch and roll. The result: smoother journeys and better comfort, even in challenging sea conditions.

This ยฃ40m investment is a strong example of how smart hydrodynamic design and modern fleet renewal can support more sustainable and resilient transport for island communities.

We look forward to supporting Scillonian IV through outfitting, sea trials, and beyond, delivering measurable efficiency where it matters most.

Congratulations to Piriou and all partners involved in bringing this impressive vessel to life.

Weโ€™re pleased to share that our Sales Manager, Lex Blok, will visit Navalia 2026 in Vigo, Spain.

Navalia Expo is a key international meeting point for the maritime industry, bringing together shipyards, suppliers, and innovators from across the global sector.

During the event, Lex will meet with our Spanish agent, Aries Naval, to strengthen local collaboration and explore opportunities within the Iberian maritime market.

At Hull Vane, we focus on improving vessel efficiency and reducing fuel consumption through innovative hydrodynamic solutions. Even as a visitor, Navalia is a valuable opportunity to stay connected with industry developments and partners.

Lex will be in Vigo throughout the event and is open to meetings.

They are becoming tax savings.

Shipping is entering a new era.

With the EU ETS now applying to maritime transport and CII ratings becoming the industryโ€™s new โ€œenergy label,โ€ COโ‚‚ emissions now carry a direct financial impact.

A 15% fuel reduction doesnโ€™t just mean less fuel burned, but also real financial and environmental relief across the entire operation.

At Hull Vaneยฎ, we believe efficiency is about more than fuel.
It starts with the flow around the hull.

And it delivers:
โ€ข Lower fuel costs
โ€ข Lower emissions
โ€ข Lower EU ETS and carbon-related exposure

In many cases, it can also improve CII ratings without changing engines or disrupting operations.

Because every vessel carries untapped efficiency.
The question is whether it gets unlocked or wasted.

Where do you think your fleet is losing the most efficiency today? ๐Ÿ‘‡

Fuel is the biggest operating cost for most vessels, often 40โ€“60% of OPEX.
And a significant part of that fuel is lost at the stern.

โ€ข Inefficient flow
โ€ข Wave resistance
โ€ข Energy that never becomes forward motion

Hull Vaneยฎ targets exactly this loss.

By optimizing the flow at the stern, it reduces resistance and lowers the power required from your engines without changing speed, schedules, or operations.

What does that mean in practice?

โœ… 5โ€“15% fuel savings demonstrated across multiple vessel types
โœ… Lower COโ‚‚ emissions
โœ… No impact on operations or crew routines
โœ… Payback typically within 1โ€“5 years

And for RoRo / RoPax vessels?

Studies on a 167m RoPax vessel show ~10% resistance reduction, highlighting strong fuel-saving potential for this segment.

No disruption.
No trade-offs.
Just smarter efficiency.

If savings are already within reach, what is the cost of waiting?
