PRESENTATION OF THE PROJECT

In May 2021, Alwena Shipping and VPLP Design decided to work together on a project for a new 90m Ropax to be operated in French Polynesia.

 

Modular and versatile, this Ropax will be able to accommodate up to three Oceanwings wings to take advantage of the year-round trade winds, and thus reduce its CO2 emissions. This ship is available in different versions, including one with diesel-electric propulsion and azimuth thrusters
