    ZERO EMISSION SHIPPING

    If you are really serious about reducing the emissions from your ocean shipping activities, you still do not have so much choice in 2024.

    Major containership operators will not be able to propose low emission shipping at scale before 2030. 

    Carbon Offsetting options should be carefully evaluated: most of offsets programs in place only help compensate emissions outside the maritime shipping.

    Major shipping companies propose Carbon Insetting programs – listen to this interview to better understand the Mass Balance principle and how insetting contributes & reduces emissions of the shipping industry.
     

    The good news – a few startups are buidling modern sailing cargoes vessels that propose fast, reliable Atlantic ocean shipping with emissions in the range of 2 to 10g / ton kilometer ( for reference, air freight: 500g / ton km, containership: 50g / ton km).

    TOWT and Grain de Sail have already convinced marquee customers, major French brands in fashion, wine, liquor, cosmetics to onboard on the zero emission shipping journey. Ships are fully loaded when calling at NYNJ harbor. 

    But only a handful of American brands have grabbed the opportunity to ACT and KILL emissions from ocean shipping. 

    Reach out to us TODAY to become one of the early American adopters: we will assist you throughout this project so you start making an impact.

    Capacity is growing, fast

    Capacity is still very limited (2,040 pallets), but growing. TOWT and Grain de Sail each announced new vessels, while Neoliner Origin will sail in Summer 2025 and Vela's first trimaran by the end of 2026.
