Vertical Axis Wind Turbine for Vessels & Infrastructure
Turbines in Transit: Reimagining bridges and transit networks as clean energy corridors. Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWTs) offer a unique solution for turning bridges and vessel pathways into renewable energy generators. Their compact, all‑direction wind capture design makes them ideal for urban and maritime spaces, generating clean energy without requiring extra land or space.
Vessel & Marine Operations: As a high-performance vertical axis wind turbine for vessels and offshore installations, EcoVortex is engineered to withstand harsh marine environments. It delivers efficient power generation directly on board, assisting in reducing vessel fuel consumption and overall carbon footprint.
About EcoVortex: It represents a new era in sustainable energy production, combining innovative design with eco‑friendly performance. Whether deployed in urban environments, marine settings, or traditional wind farm configurations, the EcoVortex VAWT‑5000 offers a versatile, efficient, and environmentally conscious solution to modern energy needs.

EcoVortex is Integri Marine's Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) designed for maritime and urban environments. It can be installed on ship decks, offshore platforms, bridge structures, urban infrastructure, and transit corridors. Unlike horizontal axis turbines, the EcoVortex captures wind from all directions without requiring yaw adjustment, making it ideal for turbulent wind environments aboard vessels and in city settings.
The EcoVortex VAWT-5000 generates up to 5 kW at a wind speed of 16.5 m/s. It has a cut-in speed below 3 m/s, a rated wind speed of 12 m/s, and a maximum survival wind speed of 24 m/s. The turbine measures 2 m in diameter and 2.5 m in height, making it compact enough for deck or bridge mounting without requiring significant structural modifications.
A Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) has its rotor shaft oriented vertically, as opposed to the horizontal shaft of a conventional HAWT (Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine). For maritime applications, VAWTs offer several advantages: they capture wind from all directions without yawing, have lower cut-in speeds, operate more quietly, require less maintenance (no nacelle rotation mechanism), and have a lower center of gravity — all critical factors for shipboard installation.
Yes. EcoVortex is engineered specifically for harsh marine environments. It features a marine-grade construction, corrosion-resistant materials, advanced safety features including obstacle detection and emergency braking, and is designed to operate reliably in high-humidity, salt-air, and high-wind conditions. It supports seamless grid integration for onboard power distribution or shore-side renewable energy storage.
Yes. When installed on a vessel, EcoVortex generates auxiliary electrical power that can offset some of the load on the vessel's generators, thereby reducing fuel consumption and carbon emissions. The actual fuel saving depends on the vessel's operating profile, route, and average wind conditions encountered. Combined with other energy efficiency measures, it contributes to improving the vessel's EEXI and CII ratings under IMO regulations.
