Decarbonized navigation

By using the power of the wind to develop low-carbon maritime logistics, sailing transport creates prospects for economic development and innovation.

Sailing is an advanced technological path towards greatly cleaner trans-oceanic transport:

- 90 % less CO2
- 98 % less sulphur oxides
- 92 % less nitrogen oxides
- 100 % less methane
Less disruptive to marine life.

Wind, a reliable offshore resource

Inexhaustible / abundant
Predictable
Efficient

Sailing makes the best of it

Sailing provides the best return to exploit it.
The most concrete lever to decarbonize maritime transport.

90% decarbonisation

The carbon footprint of a sailing
sailing cargo ship : less than 2g/km/T transported
** depending on the route

By 2025, TOWT guarantees :
• 9,600 tonnes of CO2 saved each year from and to Le Havre.
• 72,000 tonnes per year of goods switched to low-carbon transport.

The carbon footprint of a container ship: 20.2g/km/T transported**
**according to ADEME for a ship between 1150 and 3500 TEU
