A ticket to sail
Navigating to low-emission transport
In the RoRo & Ferry market, Wind-Assisted Ship Propulsion (WASP) significantly lowers fuel consumption, and is ready for Fuel EU compliance.
By utilizing wind power, VentoFoil units improve conventional engine efficiency and promote eco-friendly RoRo fleet operations, reducing emissions and environmental impact. This technology supports zero-emission transport for passengers and vehicles.
ROI < 5 years
Achieve profitable sustainability goals:
- Cut fuel consumption to reduce operational costs and minimize expenses related to the Emissions Trading System (ETS) and Fuel EU Pooling.
- Improve the Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) for new RoRo vessels.
- Enhance the Energy Efficiency Existing Ship Index (EEXI) for retrofitted RoRo ships.
- Maximize wind yield per square meter.
- Reduce emissions for a better Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII).
- VentoFoil units provide the best investment per ton of CO2 saved, especially beneficial for RoRo and ferry fleets.
Easily integrated on your RoRo vessel
- Operating with VentoFoil units is straightforward, maintaining normal business operations. They occupy minimal deck space, ensuring a small footprint on your RoRo vessel.
- The slim, lightweight design is perfect for shipping, eliminating unnecessary ballast and providing unhampered visibility for the crew.
- VentoFoil units are tilting, offering flexibility and adaptability.
- Easy tilting at the press of a button allows the sails to be adjusted during cargo operations or port maneuvering.
