Hull Vane Celebrates 10 Years of Innovation and Sustainability in Maritime Shipping

Wageningen, 2024 – Ten years ago, Hull Vane embarked on an ambitious journey with one clear goal: to make maritime shipping more sustainable, efficient, and comfortable. We celebrate not just our 10th anniversary, but also a decade of technological breakthroughs, environmental impact, and satisfied clients across the globe.

A Vision Turned Into Reality
What began in 2014 as an innovative hydrodynamic concept has grown into a ground-breaking technology transforming the maritime industry. Hull Vane, a fixed wing installed at the stern of ships, not only delivers 5-15% fuel savings but also improves stability and onboard comfort. These benefits have allowed us to make ships more efficient and environmentally friendly over the past decade.

“Thanks to Hull Vane, we save thousands of litres of fuel annually, which is not only great for our business but also for the environment,” said one commercial shipping client.

Impact in Numbers
Since its founding, Hull Vane has equipped a wide range of vessels across multiple sectors, from superyachts and ferries to naval ships. Together, we have:
Installed Hull Vane technology on nearly 100 vessels worldwide.
Contributed to reducing over 33.000 tonnes of CO₂ emissions.
Expanded our presence to more than 12 countries.
These numbers highlight our ongoing commitment to sustainability and innovation in maritime shipping.

Tailored Solutions for Every Market: Yachting, Commercial Shipping, and Naval Vessels
Hull Vane’s innovative technology delivers measurable benefits across a variety of markets. In the yachting industry, Hull Vane enhances luxury and efficiency by reducing noise, vibration, and increase performance, allowing owners to enjoy a smoother and more sustainable cruising experience. For commercial shipping such as Ferries, RoRo, Passenger ships, CTV’s and FSIV, Hull Vane offers a clear competitive advantage by significantly cutting operational costs and CO₂ emissions, helping operators meet strict environmental regulations while boosting profitability. Meanwhile, in the naval sector, Hull Vane improves stability, speed, and endurance, making vessels more effective during critical missions while reducing their environmental footprint.

By adapting to the unique demands of these markets, Hull Vane continues to set the standard for hydrodynamic innovation.

Looking Ahead
Hull Vane is not stopping at this milestone. In the years to come, we will continue our journey with ambitious plans for innovations and global collaborations. Our technology will keep evolving to provide even more efficient solutions with a strong focus on decarbonising the shipping industry.
