Hull Vane

Buijs made a Hull Vane for their client.

The Hull Vane® is a patented fixed hydrofoil that is placed below the stern of a ship, saving fuel and improving seakeeping. This ’hydrofoil’ influences the stern wave pattern and creates hydrodynamic lift, which is partially oriented forward and reduces the ship’s resistance. The Hull Vane® was invented by Dr. Ir. Peter van Oossanen. Since 2014 Hull Vane Ltd has operated in the worldwide maritime market, with a special focus on yachts, naval and patrol vessels and ferries.

From cutting the iron to sandblasting and painting it, Buijs will do the job!
