DESIGNING BEYOND TODAY'S REQUIREMENTS

DESIGNED FOR TODAY’S OPERATION —
PREPARED FOR TOMORROW’S REQUIREMENTS

V-Shipping approaches ship design from a long-term operational perspective. A vessel is not designed only for the requirements of today, but for the commercial, technical and regulatory realities it may face in the years ahead.

Led by Roald Verstraeten, V-Shipping develops ship design concepts that combine practical maritime insight, shipbuilding logic and future-ready thinking. This includes careful consideration of vessel use, route profile, propulsion strategy, maintenance impact and the flexibility needed to keep a vessel relevant over time.

The Lugano reflects this way of thinking: an inland tanker developed around efficient operation, hybrid-ready propulsion logic, lower-emission potential and reliable performance in daily use.

Roald Verstraeten ship design at V-Shipping

“

In ten or fifteen years, this vessel still needs to be relevant. That is what the entire concept is built around.”

— Roald Verstraeten, Founder & Designer, V-Shipping

LONG-TERM RELEVANCE

Ship design that remains relevant, efficient and commercially strong for years to come.

FLEXIBLE BY DESIGN

Vessel concepts that adapt to changing routes, fuels, regulations and market needs.

EFFICIENCY & IMPACT

Focus on efficient operation, lower-emission potential and responsible design choices.

RELIABLE OPERATION

Design choices that support uptime, reduce maintenance impact and ensure operational confidence.

SHIP DESIGN WITH A CLEAR PURPOSE

V-Shipping creates vessel designs that connect concept development, engineering logic and shipbuilding practicality. Every project starts with a clear understanding of the vessel’s purpose, operating profile and long-term goals.

The result is a build-ready design foundation that supports efficient operation, flexibility and reliable performance — today and in the future.
