Retrofitted VentoFoils®

eConowind offers and provides in the placement of VentoFoils® which are fixed to a vessel. In contrast to the eConowind-unit where the VentoFoils® are placed inside a 40ft container, the size of the foils are not limited to a container.

The VentoFoil® is a wing shaped element using modern innovations in aerodynamics creating high propelling force relative to its size. Smart suction is integrated in the wing, resulting in double the force of the VentoFoil® while reefing when needed.

About us

eConowind is a Dutch based company, related to HCP and Conoship international, a ship design and engineering office in Groningen. eConowind is fully dedicated to wind-assisted ship propulsion.

We developed the eConowind-unit, supported in the form of a subsidy by the European Union and the three northern Dutch counties (SNN) with the VIA funding for regional development.

The initial innovation project transformed into our latest design as retrofitted or newbuilt VentoFoil® units.
