The internship at Ecoclipper allows me to accompany a shipping line during its foundation phase which is exciting. I am also learning a lot about crowdfunding and social media marketing. Of course, the best about being involved in sailing and environmental projects is the kind of people you meet there.

What is your future vision of Ecoclipper as a company?

I believe that Ecoclipper has the potential to successfully conquer a niche in global maritime trade. Ecoclipper exclusively relies on engineless sailing ships which constitutes a unique selling proposition. However, Ecoclipper could have much wider reaching consequences. By demonstrating that sail cargo can be economically successful, Ecoclipper could transform the entire way how cargo is transported in the 21st century.

Today the sailing freighter “De Tukker” returned from her maiden voyage.This journey started a few weeks ago in Amsterdam and took her through various European ports to Portugal and back to the Netherlands. Along the way, a mixed load was transported in a sustainable manner. The ship is propelled by sails and can therefore sail emission-free, even over long distances.
