» Sailing ship takes ‘slow cargo’ from France to Ireland
Beautiful concept! Shipping via sailboat makes sense and is a great idea for many items, in this case - wine from France to Ireland. The shipping company CTMV (Compagnie de Transport Maritime a la Voile) estimates the carbon dioxide emissions to be seven times less than a container ship plying the same route. Look for the ‘Carried by sailing ship’ label on bottles… I wonder if you could travel on the boats for free if you helped crew the sails (or clean the heads).
