Foil Assisted Ship Technologies

Four decades of technological growth has molded FASTcc into what we are today. A company founded upon solid research and a proven technology. Starting the in 1980s at the University of Stellenbosch, FASTcc’s founder and current Managing Director, Prof. Dr. KGW Hoppe founded FASTcc in 1998 once he retired from the University. The goal was to offer the service of designing and implementing the Hysucraft technology across the globe through collaboration with designers and manufacturers alike. Today the company focuses on commercializing the hydrofoil technology through building partnerships and associations across the globe with naval architecture firms and manufacturers. Together with design consulting on hull form and hydrofoils we consult on propulsion systems as this also makes up a major part of the performance of a craft. FASTcc also runs advanced research alongside the consulting arm to further develop and growth the knowledge of hydrofoil assistance.
