Wind-assisted
Ocean-going vessels
We specialize in the design and construction of multi-purpose wind-assisted vessels utilizing
an ocean-proven commercial design that has
achieved 30-50% fuel savings.
Ocean-proven design by VPLP Design has achieved fuel savings of 1.3 tons of fuel per day on average
on trans-Atlantic passages.
CANOPEE i
"Canopée is a pioneering hybrid cargo vessel built by ArianeGroup, specifically designed to transport components for the Ariane 6 rocket from European ports to the launch site in French Guiana. Measuring 121 m in length and 22 m in width, it is notable for being the world’s first large-scale sailing cargo ship.
The four full-scale OceanWings, each measuring 37 m in height and covering an area of 363 m2, were installed on board Canopée last July. The wings are automated, collapsible and capable of rotating 360° to optimise wind capture. The installation marks the first commercial application of OceanWings at an industrial scale. Canopée has since completed six transatlantic crossings, generating valuable data on the system’s performance in commercial operations."
