"Three Dutchmen decided to take a step back to make a leap forward and established Fairtransport, the world’s first modern emission-free shipping company. Silo gets coffee via Fairtransport – it still has to be transported from the landing port, but it is a huge saving on energy. It’s a fine example of imaginative thinking. The small fleet of traditional sailing ships used by Fairtransport includes the world’s only engineless sailing cargo ship. The focus is on transporting special products which are organic or crafted traditionally – such as olive oil, wine and rum. In addition, the fleet is raising awareness of the huge amounts of pollution created by the modern shipping industry and is affecting positive change in the way goods are shipped around the world."
