VentoFoil
Turn wind into fuel savings with our proven 3-series. Built for efficient daily operations, it helps reduce fuel consumption, lower emissions and improve vessel performance.
Why VentoFoils?
Built for both newbuilds and retrofit projects, Econowind VentoFoils can be installed quayside in just a few days once the foundation and cabling are in place.
The units can also be tilted down into a resting position, helping to minimise impact on cargo operations and giving the vessel more flexibility when air draught is limited.
