Ceiba is the first vessel built by Sail Cargo, a company trying to prove that zero-carbon shipping is possible, and commercially viable. Made largely of timber, Ceiba combines both very old and very new technology: sailing masts stand alongside solar panels, a uniquely designed electric engine and batteries. Once on the water, the vessel will be capable of crossing oceans entirely without the use of fossil fuels. Hats off to Danielle Doggett and the team.
