📢 Exciting News!

Hull Vane has achieved a significant milestone with the first-ever trial of a Hull Vane® installation in the United States, specifically in support of Shell’s Port Fourchon Operations. The installation was carried out on Chouest’s vessel, the Fast Runner, and the results are impressive! 🚢

At typical operating speeds of 17 to 21 knots, the trial showed ~5-8% fuel savings, a lower stern wave, and an increase in speed across all RPM measurements. 🌊🌍

This collaboration between Shell, Chouest, and Hull Vane marks an important moment for the maritime industry. , .chouest.offshore , and .vane continue to strive for innovations that improve efficiency and reduce our industry’s environmental impact and lower operating costs.

Thank you to everyone who made this possible. 🚀

🚢 Hull Vane and TotalEnergies Pilot Project: A Big Success!

We are thrilled to share the success of our pilot project with , where Hull Vane® was installed on the Fast Support Vessel Ava J McCall to reduce CO2 emissions. After successful sea trials and months of operation, the results are clear: 11% fuel savings and a 650-ton reduction in CO2 emissions annually!

Hull Vane® proved its ability to lower fuel consumption, with significant savings observed at operational speeds of 16 and 21 knots. This retrofittable technology has been a game changer for TotalEnergies, offering a cost-effective solution with minimal operational impact.

The success has led TotalEnergies to mandate Hull Vane® for future tenders for FSIVs in Nigeria. With more FSVs around the world now benefiting from Hull Vane®, we’re excited to see more industry players adopting this technology to enhance sustainability.

A special thanks TotalEnergies for their collaboration, and we’re eager to continue supporting their decarbonisation goals!

First experience and impressions of the Hull Vane® on the Voyager 56 by Van den Hoven Jachtbouw:

The Voyager 56 was launched on the 3rd of July. After the first week of sea trials, the Hull Vane certainly meets up to our expectations. The yacht sails 1 knot faster, which shows improved performance. She sails more horizontal when speed increases, so enhancing comfort and control. The Hull Vane® is contributing to a noticeable fuel saving. Another big advantage for fellow water sports enthusiasts is that the sternwave makes the boat more environmentally friendly.

Our team at is very happy with the benefits of the Hull Vane® for the Voyager 56!

Due to these results, a new Hull Vane was ordered by the shipyard.

Case study of a Hull Vane® retrofit: a Midlife Performance Upgrade of 52m OPV Thémis from the French Affaires Maritimes.

CMN (Constructions Mécaniques de Normandie) delivered the vessel in 2004 and retrofitted the vessel in 2018.

The test results in a nutshell:
✅ 18 to 26% saving in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions
✅ 20% reduction of CO2 emissions over the operational profile
✅ 1.4 knots increase in top speed
✅ significantly reduced stern wave

Hull Vane - tested and approved!
