World’s Largest Sailing Cargo Ship Of Modern History To Set Sail

Anemos, the world’s largest sailing cargo ship, has set sail on its inaugural voyage from Concarneau, South Brittany.

This cutting-edge vessel, measuring 81 meters long, 15 meters wide, and 63 meters high, is the first of eight planned sailing cargo ships.

This shift to sailing promises to have a lower impact on biodiversity and ocean acidification than traditional engine-powered vessels.

Anemos, using advanced sail technology from ocean racing and automated rigging, aims to transform shipping by reducing its environmental impact.

The vessel’s primary mode of propulsion will be wind power, which is predicted to lower CO2 emissions by up to 100%.

The utilization of sailing vessels such as Anemos demonstrates the maritime industry’s ability to utilize wind power for a more sustainable future.
