Neptune has started to build the first large Sailing Cargo Vessel ,,the Canopée”

Sustainable shipping

The Canopée will be equipped with four 30-metre high Oceanwings. These sail panels with an area of 375 m² each (total 1500 m²) should positively effect fuel consumption of the diesel direct mechanical propulsion systems. The controllable pitch propellors can be put in feather mode when Ocean wing wind system delivers sufficient effective power for the vessel under speed. Resulting in a shutdown of both or one of the two Wartsila main engines.

Development 

The construction of the hull is subcontracted to one of our partners, the steel cutting was started just before Christmas and the first bottom sections are already under construction. The outfitting completion will be executed at Neptune Hardinxveld. Delivery of the vessel is scheduled end of 2022 after a series of trials and tests.
