Freight sailing as high-tech solarpunk

Urgently sought: Alternative to conventional goods transportation by sea. Container ships, general cargo ships and tankers are responsible for almost three percent of global CO2 emissions. A look back could lead to a step forward from the climate Saul to the climate Paul: Why not ship goods under sail again?

The current cargo sailing movement uses old ships(Avontuur, Tres Hombres), builds new ones according to old plans(Ceiba) or plans new ones according to new plans(Veer Voyage).

Within this movement, the French organization Transoceanic Wind Transport/TOWT is one of the best organized players. As a brokerage agency, it arranges sea transportation with sailing ships that it does not own itself – such as the Avontuur or the Tres Hombres. After more than ten years of experience with old ships, TOWT has come to a drastic conclusion: Freight sailing needs to get out of its romantic niche.

If cargo sailing is to establish itself as a robust leg of maritime transportation, it must not remain confined to antique ships such as the Avontuur or the Tres Hombres. There are also no more trucks on the road whose engines are started with a crank. Transporting goods under sail is a high-tech task.

TOWT is tackling this task by building two of its own cargo sailing vessels with aluminum hulls and carbon masts. Two years ago, they placed the order with the French shipyard Piriou. The identical ships are being built at the Piriou shipyards in Romania and Vietnam. 

Grain de Sail, also a French company, is implementing a very similar project. Their cargo ship Grain de Sail II is a little smaller at just over 50 meters in length, but is very close to the two TOWT ships.

Korky is starting a NEW project that will not be finished! So, essentially, I’m grabbing a skin from a few AoS members (season 2 or 3, whichever I prefer) and making NEW skins out of them to see if they look okay. If I like them enough, they are the canon designs for TOWtS! Isn’t that neat????

A sailboat that ships cargo throughout the ocean? This firm seems to be to the previous for inspiration Information Buzz

Standing on the deck of an 82-metre sailboat docked in Quebec Metropolis’s port, Le Grand, a sailor and CEO of the French firm TOWT, says he was impressed to harness the pure sources round him.

Moët & Chandon may be the official champagne of the Louis Vuitton 37th America’s Cup, but its G.H. Mumm champagne that is literally sailing. Paving the way for low-carbon shipping, Mumm bottles reached New-York’s harbor on September 3rd on a sailing cargo ship from Le Havre, France.

Recognizing the promise and potential of the young company – TransOceanic Wind Transport (TOWT) – from Brittany, now based in its home port of Le Havre, Mumm signed a commitment letter in 2021, enabling TOWT to begin construction of its first sailing cargo ship in Concarneau.

The TOWT is the largest vessel of its kind ever built in modern history, measuring 81 meters long and boasting six cargo holds with a combined capacity of over 1,000 tons, making it the most powerful in its class.
