Leonhardt & Blumberg installs VentoFoils on first of four newbuilds

German shipowner Leonhardt & Blumberg has installed Econowind VentoFoils on HANSA DREJOE, the first of four general cargo newbuilds set to receive wind propulsion technology. The installation was completed at Royal Niestern Sander Shipyard in early August. A second vessel, HANSA CHRISTIANSOE, is currently at the yard for installation. According to Econowind, the VentoFoils are expected to provide around 10% additional thrust. As a result, the technology is expected to reduce fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions.
