SAIL MED

SAIL MED SAIL MED is a consortium of Partners, Friends and Sponsors working to bring wind energy (Sail) to cargo transport in the Mediterranean and worldwide.

SAIL MED is seeking to change the face of global cargo transportation and passenger travel by introducing sail powered cargo transportation. We are a part of the Sail Transport Network (www.sailtransportnetwork.org). SAIL MED offers a forward-thinking solution in the global effort to reduce shipping pollution and protect our seas. Transport by sail represents a truly clean future for shipping, fre

e from a dependence on fossil fuels. We are working towards a "Blue Economy", which strives to find sustainable solutions based upon cleaner technologies and business practices, for transporting local products across our seas by the use of wind energy. SAIL MED aims to create wind energy transport networks for sustainable distribution of food, products, raw materials and resources. We will focus on local products being grown via small scale, healthy and efficient systems, aiming to facilitate efficient, transparent distribution networks across our seas for more local products. The movement is growing! Check out other sail transport endeavors across the world:
