BLRT REPAIR YARDS Klaipeda has installed the Econowind VentoFoil sails on the ethylene carrier CORAL PATULA, owned by the yards` long-standing partner, Anthony Veder.

This unit is designed to enhance existing propulsion systems by harnessing wind energy, which helps reduce fuel consumption – fuel savings are estimated at around 5%, with the potential to exceed 10% in optimal wind conditions, operational costs, and the overall environmental footprint — an important step towards more sustainable shipping

For us, this project also marks a significant achievement, as Anthony Veder has become the first company to use wind-assisted propulsion on a gas carrier

We are beyond proud to have been part of this project. Exciting to assist our customers in achieving their goals and contribute to shipping sustainability, and we look forward to working on more innovative solutions like this in the future!
