  • Oceanwings, Une Contribution À La Décarbonation Du Transport Maritime Par
    Séminaire Management de l’innovation n n n Séance du 20 novembre 2019 Oceanwings, une contribution à la décarbonation du transport maritime par n Marc Van Peteghem n Architecte naval, associé fondateur de l’agence VPLP design En bref Marc Van Peteghem est une référence dans la conception des bateaux multicoques tant de croisière que de compétition. Son agence a notamment conçu le trimaran Oracle, vainqueur en 2010 de la Coupe de l’America, gréé avec une voile affalable et automatisée. L’adaptation de ce système aux bateaux à moteur permet de réaliser des économies d’énergie et de réduire les émissions de gaz à effet de serre du transport maritime, qui traite 90 % du commerce international. Sur un plan plus personnel, Marc Van Peteghem a également créé l’ONG Watever pour soutenir la construction navale au Bangladesh, puis cofondé en 2013 The Sustainable Design School, qui place l’homme au centre de solutions innovantes pour un développement durable.

  • AR PR Phase 2 Designers 17 Apr 2014 SWE
    ARTEMIS RACING STÄRKER SITT DESIGNTEAM MED NYA TILLÄGG ALAMEDA, April 17, 2014 - Artemis Racing meddelade idag att man tecknat Vincent Lauriot- Prévost, Simon Watin, Juan Garay och Matthew Davis, vilka kommer att ingå i designteamet när Artemis Racing förbereder sig för en eventuell 35: e Americas Cup satsning. Både Vincent Lauriot-Prévost och Simon Watin går från VPLP design, världsledande inom flerskrovsracing och super-yacht design, som grundades 1983. Under den 34: e Americas Cup var deltog de i Americas Cup ledningens design och forskargrupp, inrättade för att skapa ett ursprungligt konstruktionspaket för högteknologiska vingseglade AC72 katamaraner. Vincent Lauriot-Prévost är skeppsarkitekt och en av grundarna till VPLP Design baserade i Frankrike. Under sin karriär har Lauriot-Prévost bidragit till flera av de mest avancerade prototypprojekten inom kappsegling, bland annat utformningen av de sex senaste vinnarna i La Route du Rhum, rekordinnehavare i transatlantiska (New York - Lizard) samt världsomfattande (Jules Verne Trophy) seglingar, samt BMW ORACLE Racings trimaran USA 17 som vann den 33: e Americas Cup. "Vi har alltid varit i framkanten i utvecklingen av snabba flerskrovskonstruktioner med VPLP Design. Var först involverade i Americas Cup-utmaningen 2007, då cupen vände sig till flerskrovsbåtar," sade skeppsarkitekten. "Den här gången är det en fantastisk möjlighet att samarbeta med Artemis Racing på ett folierande katamaranprojekt, då tekniken för Americas Cup sätts på sin fullkomliga spets.” Som specialist på att förutspå prestanda, tog Watin en ingengörsexamen med inriktningen fluidmekanik innan han specialiserade sig inom skeppsbyggnad. Under 2011 gick han med i VPLP Yacht Designs kontor i Frankrike, där han utvecklade fluidmekaniska simuleringar , och var inblandad i maxi-racing trimaran projekt (Prince de Bretagne 80, Sodebo 4 och MACIF 100) samt Open 60 projekt (Safran 2 och Banque Populaire) för 2016 års Vendée Globe Race.

  • 2500 Teus-Trade Wings 2500 – Approval of Principle from BV
    PRESS RELEASE Paris, 17th of May 2021, 9h00 - Beijing, 17th of May 2021, 15h00 Innovative 2,500 TEU Container Vessel “Trade Wings 2,500” from VPLP Design, Alwena Shipping, SDARI and AYRO receives Approval in Principle from Bureau Veritas The “Trade Wings 2,500”: an innovative container ship with a capacity of 2,500 TEU (Twenty-Foot Equivalent Unit), designed jointly by VPLP Design (France), Alwena Shipping (France), SDARI (China) and AYRO (France) has received Approval in Principle from Bureau Veritas. With an overall length of 197m and a breadth of 32m, the vessel offers a deadweight of 32 500 m tons. It fosters the combination of a wind-assisted propulsion with six Oceanwings® with an LNG-electric propulsion with pods. The wingsails are installed on a vertical sliding mechanism to retract them partially while the vessel is in port, thus minimizing the impact on cargo operations. The LNG storage tank is based on GTT’ Mark III containment system and the LNG power plant is designed with pure gas 4-strokes gensets only. This architecture is a flexible platform offering possible upgrade to decarbonated fuels in the future such as Ammonia or Hydrogen. Suitable to short sea shipping operations or feedering in Europe, Central America, Caribbean Islands and China, the Trade Wings 2,500 can also operate on transatlantic trades. The design minimizes time in port operations, as maneuverability is increased with the Pods, and the hatch coverless design further speeds up cargo operations. On a typical transatlantic route of 4,000 Nm, the Trade Wings 2,500 will save on average 35% CO2- equivalent emissions compared to a conventional design, with a 2-stroke engine, single shaft and without wingsails, at the same speed.
