Greenpeace Partners With Freire Shipyard To Build A New Green Sailing Ship

Greenpeace has officially signed a contract to begin constructing a pioneering green sailing ship, marking a big step forward in sustainable maritime technology.

The revolutionary vessel aims to demonstrate the viability of long-distance sea voyages powered by renewable energy.

The 75-meter ship, designed after years of rigorous planning, will feature an innovative combination of green technologies.

With nearly 2000 square meters of sails onboard, energy regeneration devices, battery packs, and solar panels, the vessel is designed to maximise the power of wind and sunlight.

The goal is to make it as close to fossil-fuel-free as possible at launch, with the ultimate goal of switching to 100% renewable energy as soon as possible.

Greenpeace International has chosen Freire Shipyard in Vigo, Spain, as its partner for this ambitious project.

Freire Shipyard was selected through an exhaustive tender process due to its commitment to meeting the highest technical, environmental, sustainability and human rights standards.

Assuming successful fundraising, Greenpeace estimates that the ship will begin operations in 2027.

The organization actively seeks visionary funders to support the project while appreciating those who have already donated.

The vessel aims to inspire and challenge the maritime industry, which is still highly dependent on fossil fuels.

Greenpeace intends to utilize the ship to confront environmental offenders while highlighting the natural world’s beauty and importance.

The ship will serve as a beacon in the fight against fossil fuels, assisting communities affected by the climate catastrophe.

Greenpeace emphasizes that every action taken today will affect future generations by contributing to global warming, sea level rise, and biodiversity loss.
