.Nearly 900 pallets of approximately 1.2 tonnes have just been loaded on board. An exceptional logistics chain was implemented as soon as the large ship docked at Quai Dresser.

Our partner SOGENA

Thus, with our privileged partner SOGENA and its subsidiaries in Le Havre: (SHGT, NORMANDIE ENTREPOTS LOGISTIQUE, LPO SOGENA) an innovative port handling was quickly set up. A joint discovery of lifting equipment and holds was made in a joint work around this historic loading.

Climate Era

Thus filled, with the goods wedged, and its hold panels closed, the largest cargo sailing ship of the “climate era” is preparing to set sail for New York

“Pure sailboat”

“Pure sailboat”, the first cargo ship with a main sail propulsion, it will take about 2 weeks for the ship to reach the Bay of New York, once discovered by the Le Havre native Giovanni da Verrazzano.

Alongside TOWT, pioneering shippers who fill the ship

Martell Mumm Perrier Jouët, the prestige subsidiary of Pernod Ricard, has been committed to TOWT since 2021, united by a pioneering spirit and strong convictions. 85% of the load of “Anemos” will be champagnes and cognacs and this first crossing expresses Martell Mumm Perrier-Jouët‘s ambition to sustainably make it the main mode of transport to the United States. An important step that is part of a global trajectory of carbon neutrality by 2050 covering the entire value chain of the subsidiary.

Maison Joseph Drouhin

Founded in 1880, Maison Joseph Drouhin, renowned for its exceptional Burgundy wines and its 100 ha of biodynamically cultivated vines, is taking a new step in its ecological commitment. 15,000 bottles of Chablis and Côte de Beaune white 2022 wines are embarking aboard the “Anemos”.

Drouhin family

The American destination is particularly symbolic for the Drouhin family, which has owned its own import company in New York and also 100 hectares of vineyards in Oregon for over 40 years.

This first transatlantic crossing by cargo sailboat is a long-term one, with 2 annual expeditions planned in the coming years.

Wind in ancient Greek

Anemos, meaning wind in ancient Greek, is the only transport label in the world that guarantees a decarbonized navigation thanks to sailboats , giving you the chance to ex perience the adventure the goods went on.

You will find the label on all products transported by sail from all over the Atlantic, including Latin America, the Caribbean, the Azores or Cornwall.
