Canopée (lit. 'Canopy') is a French sail-assisted freighter ship. Laid down in 2019 and launched in 2022, it is designed specifically to transport elements of the Ariane 6 rocket from European ports to the Guiana Space Centre in Kourou, South America. It made its first trans-Atlantic crossing in December 2022.
The ship is owned by Jifmar Guyane, designed by VPLP Design, and was constructed by Partner Stocznia shipyard in Szczecin, Poland, and Neptune marine, Netherlands. Oceanwings sails are designed, engineered and manufactured by OceanWings (previously Ayro) in Caen France.
