Paragon
Paragon illustre la quête de l’excellence de VPLP Design. Ce monocoque rapide de 85 pieds (26m) a été imaginé comme un diamant sans défaut, sculpté pour la perfection visuelle et la performance technique. Ce projet ouvre la porte à une nouvelle ère inspirée des maxi voiliers et des foilers in-shore et offshore.
VELA
Looking to develop a fast sailing ship to provide a shipping service between Europe and the USA, French start-up VELA asked VPLP Design to explore the range of possibilities in this fledgling sector of zero-carbon transport of goods by sea. This led to the design of a 65 m schooner-rigged trimaran which can carry 350 tonnes between Nouvelle-Aquitaine (France) and New York in under two weeks, including loading and unloading.
Canopée
Designed to transport parts of the Ariane 6 rocket from European ports to French Guiana, the cargo ship Canopée is scheduled for launch in late 2022. She will be 121 m long and powered by four 363 m² wingsails set on 36 m masts.
Malizia 3
Malizia-Sea-Explorer le nouvel IMOCA de Boris Hermann, conçu à la fois pour l’Ocean Race 2023 et pour le Vendée Globe 2024.
Persévérance
Resulting from a collaboration with Olivier Petit, architect of Antarctica (now Tara), the Persévérance is an ocean-going sailing supply ship designed for the icy waters around Antarctica. She is tasked with carrying relief crew and equipment to the Polar Pod, the future drifting oceanographic research station devised for Jean-Louis Étienne.
Hublot
Hugo Boss (version 2019) then Hublot.
Clak40
In late 2020, in collaboration with the Multiplast yard, VPLP ventured into the Class40 universe for the very first time. “We had been interested in this class for quite a while,” says Vincent Lauriot-Prévost, “but hadn’t quite found a suitable opening. This all changed when we saw the scows enter the fray and display significantly better performances than the previous boats. It was then that we said to ourselves that it was the right moment.”
Cerulean
Commissioned by the Micronesian Center for Sustainable Transport, a programme of the University of the South Pacific based in the Fiji Islands, and financed by the CNC shipping company, this project aims to develop a line of simple, robust and sober sailing cargo vessels to transport materials and essential commodities between the islands of the South Pacific.
Trade Wings 2500
Trade Wings 2500 (197 m LOA, 32 m beam) is an innovative concept for “small” container ships of 2500 TEU (twenty foot equivalent units) specializing in trade between subsidiary ports in Europe to supplement mega container ships, but also between ports in the Caribbean, Central America and China.
DMG MORI
DMG Mori is Charal’s sistership, identical except for the few modifications requested by Kojiro Shiraishi and his team.
