Wartsila offers a huge range of products for vessels: engines; ballast water management systems; oil separation; . . . the list goes on. From company website: Wärtsilä is passionate about optimising lifecycle value There is a huge list of products on the Wartsila website, with extensive details. This list just highlights the major categories. Wartsila has full detail of all their products on the company website: Wartsila has contact offices all over the world. Check the company website for the nearest contact: Wavefoil has developed retractable bow foils that provide significant fuel savings, reduced motions and a more comfortable experience at sea. Combining a smart retraction mechanism with the use of light but strong composite materials, Wavefoil is bringing wave propulsion to the market. It has been known for over 150 years that vessels with wings – or foils – in the bow can be partly or solely propelled by wave energy. The foils generate lift when the vessel is moving up and down in waves, and the lift typically has a forward thrust component larger than the drag. Put simply, wave power is directly converted into propulsive power. A vessel in waves experiences additional resistance compared to calm-water operation. For wave lengths similar to the hull length, this additional resistance will be amplified due to resonance, implying large heave and pitch motions. Wavefoil’s retractable bow foils dampen these motions so that the additional resistance decreases. So how much fuel can you save? That depends on the ship, its speed, the foil size and location and the wave conditions. For a 100 m long ship operating in a wave-rich area, with constant brake power equivalent to a calm-water speed of 14 knots, research shows that an average fuel saving on the order of 20% can be achieved. Lower brake power gives higher percentage fuel saving. Fuel savings are not the only benefit of bow foils. Increased comfort, reduced vibrations, less spray, increased operability and the ability to maintain higher speeds in waves for a given power are some other perspectives. The Wolfson Unit has a long history of working in towing tanks and other physical experimentation methods. The Wolfson Unit was founded in 1967 to enable industry to benefit from the facilities, academic excellence and research activities at the University, predominantly through model testing and consultancy. The Unit is comprised of full time professional engineers, we offer competitive consultancy rates and meet the tight schedules of commercial projects. Other University staff can be called upon when additional expertise from other disciplines will benefit a particular project. This unique situation has enabled us to build a reputation for technical excellence and independence which is valued by our established clients and respected by organisations who invite our engineers to sit on advisory and regulatory committees. In recognition of our long standing service to the small craft industry, we’re proud to have been awarded The Royal Institution of Naval Architects 2012 Small Craft Group Medal. We are best known for ship model testing, sailing yacht performance and ship design software, but our expertise extends to many other aspects of marine technology and industrial aerodynamics, details of which can be found on other pages here.
