Econowind with Frank Nieuwenhuis
About Econowind
We have been sailing around the world for hundreds of years, if not thousands, harnessing the immense power of the wind. What is stopping us today from not doing so again? Econowind is one of the leading companies who are making time-tested and proven technology into the 21st century, providing wind-assisted ship propulsion for the shipping industry.
Join Frank Nieuwenhuis, CEO of Econowind, as we discuss the VentiFoil®, sails of the 21st century. These devices can be installed on board existing vessels or newbuilds to reduce fuel consumption (or make you sail faster!).
A single 16 meter Ventifoil unit can produce up to 40kW of power per unit, multiple or larger units can produce even more power and subsequently reduce fuel consumption accordingly.
Econowind aims to contribute in the transition to a cleaner future and reduce emissions in the maritime industry. Sustainable Ships aims to assist by helping you determine what wind-assisted ship propulsion can do for you and your vessel.
