Hvide Sande Shipyard orders Hull Vane® for new 64m OPV
Earlier this year, Hvide Sande Shipyard (Denmark) won a public tender for the design and construction of a new 64m Offshore Patrol Vessel. As the lifecycle costs and seakeeping characteristics are very important for this vessel, Hvide Sande Shipyard worked with Hull Vane BV (Netherlands) during the bid phase.
Hull Vane® is a patented hydrodynamic appendage which converts energy from the stern wave and of the ship motions into forward thrust. CFD analyses on the hull for the 64m OPV showed that indeed, the Hull Vane® would prove to be of significant added value for resistance reduction at all speeds (>7%). Based on this preliminary analysis, Hvide Sande Shipyard decided to integrate Hull Vane® in the bid as an integral part of the design.
