This is what we call setting sail towards decarbonisation. Thank you Anthony Veder and Björn van de Weerdhof. 2024 is a good year with installations succesfull and on time with : NYK Line, Gilbèrt de Bock , RABN - Rederi Ab Nathalie, Jumbo Maritime , Anthony Veder (2) More to come:-) #windpropulsion #shipsandshipping #shipping #maritime #fuelEU
Some shots of #CoralPatula before, during, and after the installation of the new Econowind VentoFoils 🚢 Why retrofit a gas carrier with sails? 💨 #AnthonyVeder Commercial and Sustainability Director, Björn van de Weerdhof, explains: "In our sustainable roadmap, we have set the ambitious target of becoming a net-zero emitter by 2035. Achieving this goal requires action today. While we focus on optimizing the design of newbuilds and running those on LNG, we are equally committed to enhancing the efficiency of our existing fleet. This allows us to reduce our carbon footprint immediately. " #NavigatingTheFuture #Sustainability

Meet Willem Stam and Chiel de Leeuw at the 18th Annual Conference of Marine Technology in Athens. They are excited to connect with industry experts, share insights, and demonstrate how wind-assisted propulsion is shaping the future of sustainable shipping. Willem delivered a presentation on the versatility of our suction wings, highlighting results from vessels equipped with VentoFoils. Curious about how our VentoFoil family can help decarbonize your fleet? Don’t hesitate to reach out to Chiel or Willem. #shipsandshipping #maritime #shipping #windpropulsion #fuelEU INTRA MARE

Econowind welcomes Chiel de Leeuw as Chief Commercial Officer. With experience at Oceanco and Damen Shipyards, Chiel brings the expertise to drive wind-assisted ship propulsion to new heights. Chiel shares: “The maritime sector is undergoing a fundamental shift, and wind-assisted technologies like Econowind’s VentoFoils are leading the way. I’m convinced that Wind-Assisted Ship Propulsion will become the norm in the shipping industry.” As we expand with larger VentoFoils for deep-sea markets, we’re committed to cutting emissions and fuel consumption for a more sustainable maritime industry.

𝗘𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗱: 𝘃𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻 𝗺𝗲𝘁 𝗱𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗱𝗲 𝗿𝘂𝗴 🚢💨 Het Flevolandse Econowind pakt de windkracht bij de hoorns en laat zien hoe het de scheepvaart kan verduurzamen met de revolutionaire VentoFoil. Deze aluminium vleugel, ontwikkeld door ingenieur Frank Nieuwenhuis naar idee van ontdekkingsreiziger Jacques Cousteau, helpt grote schepen om tot wel 1000 liter brandstof per dag te besparen en de CO2-uitstoot drastisch te verlagen. Dat is pas impact! Met al 60 verkochte VentiFoils wereldwijd, groeit de vraag naar deze game-changing technologie harder dan ooit. En dat allemaal vanuit het hart van windenergie: Flevoland. 🌍✨ Frank Nieuwenhuis: “Scheepseigenaren hebben tegenwoordig drie grote uitdagingen. De brandstof wordt duurder, de CO2-uitstoot moet omlaag én de wettelijke regels voor de uitstoot van broeikasgassen worden strenger. Wij bieden hier een oplossing voor met de VentoFoil.” Lees het hele verhaal van Econowind via https://lnkd.in/g8czxsuk #windenergie #duurzamescheepvaart #ventofoil #innovatie #Econowind #toekomstvandescheepvaart #Zweewolde #zodoenwedat #Flevoland

In het echt is het nog veel groter en imponerender dan als je het in de verte op een schip ziet: de VentoFoils van Econowind. Huiselijk gezegd: een soort vliegtuigvleugel die op een schip wordt gezet als een zeil. Een welkome en waardevolle bijdrage om door het slim benutten van de wind brandstofverbruik te verminderen en uitstoot te beperken. Samen met Paul Willemse en Tjarco Wassink van het #Rijksregiebureau voor de #maritieme #maakindustrie op bezoek geweest bij dit mooie bedrijf dat koploper is in dit bijzondere product. Met Maarten van der Klip, Rens Groot en Annemarie Jorritsma nuttig gesprek gehad over wat er allemaal komt kijken bij het opschalen van dit soort innovaties.

Econowind op televisie: ‘Hijs de zeilen’ Ongeveer 90% van al het vrachtverkeer wereldwijd vindt plaats over zee. Grote schepen zijn echter ook grote brandstofverbruikers, wat een enorme impact heeft op het milieu. Om deze reden wordt binnen de scheepvaartsector volop gezocht naar duurzamere alternatieven. Bij Econowind kreeg Frank Nieuwenhuis een idee dat bijna te eenvoudig leek om waar te zijn: wat als we het zeil opnieuw uitvinden, maar dan voor grote zeeschepen? Dit leidde tot de ontwikkeling van de VentoFoils. Deze innovatieve ‘zeilen’, geïnspireerd door luchtvaarttechnologie, helpen het brandstofverbruik van schepen drastisch te verlagen. Zo dragen ze bij aan een duurzamere toekomst voor de scheepvaart. Econowind on Dutch TV 'Hoist the Sails' Around 90% of global freight is transported by sea, but large ships are also massive fuel consumers, contributing significantly to environmental impact. This has sparked a worldwide search within the shipping industry for more sustainable alternatives. Frank Nieuwenhuis came up with an idea that seemed almost too obvious: what if we reinvented the sail for large cargo ships? This idea led to the creation of VentoFoils—innovative "sails" that utilize aviation technology to significantly reduce fuel consumption. By doing so, they make shipping much more sustainable and pave the way for a greener future.
