Wavefoil has developed the first retractable bow foils for medium-size ships, which reduce fuel consumption and improve stability in varying sea conditions. This innovative technology enhances ship performance by optimizing the use of wave energy while minimizing resistance in calm or extreme weather.
Medium-size ships navigating in waves suffer up to 100% higher resistance than in calm water.
This added resistance has severalconsequences: 1) dramatic speed loss, 2) increase of fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, and 3) dangerous roll (side to side) andpitch (up and down) movement that causes seasickness and decreases crew productivity.
Adding wings or foils to a ship bow can use wave energy to propel the ship forward and damp roll and pitch motions, stabilizing the ship.
However, navigating…
