5:30 am
the, the r c's promise breathtaking vistas and a sense of freedom. but they're teeming with smoke belching giants, global maritime trade is a huge environmental hazard. the da, as a shipping company, it's very important to us to annette, less c o 2. and thereby, we hope at least slow climate change is on those, on how to cruise ships or climate killers to post coven their own course to break records. on the one week, all inclusive, 800 euros is to take to be nice. but innovative engines and admission for you, alternate fuels are on the horizon. and then for those who are trying to address
5:31 am
the problem, let me say. and then we could have hundreds or thousands of ships powered completely by the wind, the and all the saving 5. a fresh breeze on the seats. how can industry make shipping cleaner? the beats ready for a new adventure? the place on base? the ship has no engine, but to max and room for novice sailors. captain and crew are preparing to leave france for denmark, then come on, welcome on board time. thank you. i think my, i'll show you around for grades of that so, or that here is the, you'll be learning and working here to man here. mm hm. the one to help, of course,
5:32 am
for 46 year old on today as like net swapping the deck and maintaining his ship are every day tasks that he only became a captain by chance. he's from austrian farm country with a green peace activist, and wanted to travel to south america to see if i can ignore. but i only shipped over to avoid blind on but i fell in love with sailing on my very 1st ocean crossing. nice to me. bank so that love grew into a vision. why not transport goods using wind power? with 2 friends, he converted a 1943 schooner into a sailing cargo ship, hoping to inspire like minded people. because isn't how big is the cargo hold? how much kind of carry them to stay you're signing on it all. this is part of the whole the whole can carry 35 tons of goods. on the columbus 1st commission, as crew member will be transporting french wine,
5:33 am
it comes from small vineyards, like this one owned by julie and toby bainbridge. the british american couple have fulfilled a life long dream, producing mainly organic wines on 7 hector is on the wife. but extreme drought is taking its toll on their grades. that there is a very, very small, smaller than we have imagined at this time of year. we must be down at least 30 percent already and if there's no rain between now and half his time, then we might be down to 50 percent in some boxes. so those are the ones that are producing, they're concerned about climate change, motivates them to do more for the environment, which is why they're naturally produced winds or sailing to market. i think it's a natural extension of the way we work, isn't yet to to it's using the elements that we have in my mind. it feels like we're doing something good for the environment. we're doing something good for the future of our children. it's a small winery and sons,
5:34 am
jonathan and michael are there to help to the vendors use recycled bottles and cartons to reduce their environmental footprint. and the next time that these boxes get tumbled will be putting on a boat going to copenhagen at the dock. the captain sets up the loading rabbit, getting help from the bainbridge family. they've been shipping their wine for 10 years. running about 90 percent of world trade is done by cargo ship. the train somebody is a rare exception. all cargo was loaded by hand from tasks in the caribbean, crates of stock fish in norway. it's a throwback to a time when sailing ships not freighters brought goods to the world. the mountain doesn't matter. yeah. and we want to use this free wind energy and up. this means
5:35 am
that because it makes more sense than burning oil and all this, we want to show people that it's possible to put in this is that it can be done differently. that's a low down fox, and this is on this phone. so many of the ship is loaded with $35.00 tons of goods . the wind makers wish the crew will go journey. thank you to the bowl itself. let's see a toast to climate friendly transport of goods. conventional cargo ships produced 2.9 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions almost as much as air traffic on the kilometers, looking for an eco friendly way to cross the atlantic. super thanks. the 35 year old is sharing a cabin with 7 other trainees. it's a real adventure holiday. i asked. i think this is my bon koya
5:36 am
close quarters and little privacy for the cruise was out of the question. for this applicant, native for environmental reasons and simplicity, i mean i've never even taken a long called flight. but for years i've wanted to travel to north and south america. so i thought traveling by ship might be a good idea. all right, i'm going to try out this 2 week trip and then decide if i want to sail across the atlantic next year. and then i plan on taking her back here. it's the moment of truth for anika and the crew. the ship is ready to sail. okay, we can go to the captain gives the order to cast off. think of all the lines they set off under the eyes of friends and onlookers. the ship is due to arrive and copenhagen in 2 weeks. despite all the euphoria sailing novice on it is also a little nervous. i'm afraid i will do something wrong or get in someone's way
5:37 am
or go overboard. what are the parts here. c tom's in norway here to approve is reading a vessel, in this case, a diesel electric hybrid. now we're going to unplug the charging cable before we head out on our journey shore power is because it's mostly made from renewable sources, such as a water power. for instance, and then we can charge our batteries during the night when we don't use the green energy for more climate friendly tourism. northern norway is the place 27 year old, catalina feedback sky m calls home. the marine biologist has been working on the brim explorer for 2 years. the
5:38 am
us today is very special today because we're starting the we're watching season and that's always the highlight for all of us. wales are a part of nor ways breathtaking natural beauty. but the local climate is changing drastically. temperatures in the arctic are rising 3 times faster than the global average. which is why norway is changing course, especially in terms of water transport. 80 fairies, a 3rd of norway's fleet are fully electric power from 98 percent renewable sources . battery capacity is not yet sufficient to power the 8 hour we'll watching to work . that's why the crew started using this hybrid vessel 3 years ago. somebody had to start, so some of the has to do it. and it's been us. the more votes that start to make questions or demands or requests for both cleaner energy and also short power in many different harbors. the quicker the change will happen. they hope to be diesel
5:39 am
free in 2 years, changes in the air. meanwhile, a whale fan has been spotted in the water. the captain quickly switches the engine to quiet mode. when done is especially the diesel is off and we're running on electricity problems via mit electric. the sword is almost silent until a fin whale surfaces near the boat followed a short time later by a mother humpback and her cap the . this is the most spectacular sight for the german tourist on board income wasn't the only thing i just can't believe it. it swimming right past the motor. so i thought you think
5:40 am
the class whale's communicate by sound loud engines make it difficult for them to find food and navigate, endangering their survival. so the more quiet that we are, the more calm the way you seem to be. and since wells are so important for the ecosystem, we can also have an impact on that altogether as we don't disturb them. there might be more well, catalina sky m tells the guests that we'll store huge amounts of carbon and to benefit the climate. she wants them to advocate for more nature conservation during a year, we have thousands of people coming on board. and if we spread knowledge to maybe just a few of them and have them think a little bit more of the choices that they make, we can make a big change in the world altogether. small moves in norway and started a trend towards eco friendly, arctic tourism big ship. some us now follow suit
5:41 am
a new ship. it's making its way along the postal roads entirely without the use of diesel. it is competing with vessels from the well established poetic hooting line . the captain is about to set sail for the north, came the meanwhile, the cargo schooner has left the harbour of level said, no, all the time is all for us payable. they must sell them. how to go that that's fine, like 5. okay. all the way shape the new crew must get to work. the ship has been doing cargo run since 2010. proving that emission free marine transport is feasible . but the seas are becoming ever more crowded. when we have them here. yeah i'm, i'm something is coming toward us. see the comments. it's funny. looking some kind of freighter, actually probably a tanker around and $90000.00 ships, crowd the oceans and maritime trade is forecasts to increase significantly. this
5:42 am
would be disastrous for the environment as large freighters burn up to several 100 tons of fuel of day. most of it highly toxic heavy fuel oil. the dinner time for the trainees. 5 women and 3 man have been hired from holland, france, and austria. they're committed to climate friendly vacations and transport of goods, catalina, whom there is a nature conservationist who lives on a farm near paso. was the, the seas are becoming so polluted because of all the shipping. people just buy things with no idea where they come from. investing involved yeah. people should think about what they really need and what they can do without that i somebody is transports little besides fair trade goods like coffee olive oil or french organic wine. like on this voyage that will hold every inch counts
5:43 am
the day. somebody is, can carry a maximum of 40 tons roughly to standard shipping containers. the world's largest frater, on the other hand, can carry 24000 containers. using the force of the inner square for and so is the freighter. it's on. the question is with want to mentor dimension, how does that cargo make people's lives better? samsung, but it's what they're on. that's why we're trying to encourage people to buy more selectively, not volume and access, but the special things that make life a little sweeter in my hand. more comfortable to sound, i'm going to my, my new sailing ships will be able to carry more cargo. the ocean bird set to launch in sweden in 2025 is a 200 meter long vessel driven by wings sales. the ship will hardly use its engines . cutting c o 2 emissions by up to 90 percent today, somebody else has no engine at all. only the wind decides how fast it goes. the
5:44 am
trainees do not know when they will make it to their destination. life on board has its own rhythm, free of time, pressures who 90 night to get to the island. the captain and helmsman are planning the best course and then we go out there so long stay cabinet. there's that we choose the route with the best when it comes on and we try to make the most of it and get there as quickly as possible and what's going on. so if you're able to get onto the same journey, can take 5 days or sometimes 2 weeks or that our customers can live without the ones that are causing the kind of dumb 11. that's a good thing because copenhagen is still a long way off. and the forecast calls for head wind, the crowds ultima, and also works with wind power to make shipping cleaner. yeah.
5:45 am
eventually the wind is blowing at around 20 knots today. a little harder than what the forecast all. but it shows you how much power is out here. it doesn't it? the party. let's take the 64 year old, grew up here in the east freeze here, where the ends river meets the north sea for him. climate change his top of mind. you know from the left here on the east region, flat lands, there are some areas below sea level of the water could collect easily. and that, of course, is a cause for concern by deed. some is the added sailor's home port. a friendly chat with fellow c favors using the local low german dialect, his board of mountains daily. the more so hopefully going on in the seventy's, the freezing and sale,
5:46 am
the oceans on freighters, but then changed careers. he started an ad agency, he runs to this day, but he never lost his level of ships and even became a captain in 2007. during his novel studies, he came across a century old invention, which huge potential that's assessed is anton flat nurse. first, rotors ship the book out in 1924, also not feeling sponsor the rebirth of the flight in a rotor. both months has developed the technology further and re introduced it to the shipping industry. but 10 wind power really help conventional ships reduce fuel consumption. so far, 2 ships have been out fitted with old months, letting the rotors, the 18 meter high cylinders act like a sturdy sale. the only kept it off and is about to pass through a loss on his journey to sweden. it's a special reunion that for a year and
5:47 am
a half then he may as i've how when i looked at it now standing there the way we put it up. sure. i'm proud of it. halterman's and as customer company owner on about in need of to take stock we want to take steps to make the shipping industry more sustainable. this router is a very good start of your per shipping company invested 700000 euros and the 1st router, almost half of the sun was covered by you subsidies. the ship's captain is waiting for them on board. on the on the composite is entering the keel canal with its rotor is quite the novelty . kid was a new experience for captain. you again, maintenance to about the skipper. adaptive quickly. statements will offer photos. i don't have to do anything about the system setup. it's fully automatic. now it's
5:48 am
starting up and we can already see how it's generating sale pounds as the speed increases. so name of the z to the cost of the router is not turned by the wind, but by electricity creating an air flow around it. when the wind hits the rotor, the pressure differential pulls the ship forward the this magnets effect provides additional propulsion the a specific day. and when you reduce the engine power, can you really maintain the ship speed when this hosting comes with them so that no for the forward pull from the flat, not use energy. i save an engine power far and what i saving the engine power i save in fuel was ex told you don't. we normally been 6000 late as a day. so a $500.00 later saving today is nothing to sneeze. that doesn't mean that
5:49 am
corresponds to $1.00 tons, less c o $22.00. but to achieve such results, the flattening roader needs the right went. all in all the thoughts of the minds believes as roader reduces fuel consumption by around 10 percent. as with the fuel we saved here as never burn each bomb $1000.00. that's where i see this technology huge potential on many, many ships. and these it takes to, to be ice. is it on a problem and is planning to install a router on her next ship to though she's hoping for better results back in east freeze you and always months. i think you already know mr. olds month. one of our alumni from many years ago for the few and few and young professor fast assisted all the demands and developing the router, their testing whether to rotors could save even more fuel. today's container ships often lack of dec space for to,
5:50 am
but the technology has great potential. the young was talking to them. i'd say there are around $90000.00 cargo ships worldwide. and of these at least half are suitable for probably more. i mean, seriously, i'm pretty sure that will be sailing on ships like this within the next few years so. so this is the future. this dustin, dustin mountains, it's starting to feel a tail wind. after 15 years of work, more and more shipping companies are showing interest in his technology. let me finish up on phase and festivals. i'm firmly convinced that we're on the right track, as nothing will get in our way. the most cons this will succeed, afford the development of flooding the rotors is now being pursued in other countries to providing competition and incentive of like for the man from east for each of the
5:51 am
norwegian, arctics fits the start of a shift for young captain. your team of books then it's for the leading a boy. it's on the postal route. it's about sol as a new gas, electric hybrid owner is hobby level, which is wants to cut emissions. unimportant courts change, welcomed by the skipper. the daughter she's one years old. and she was born that is quite different to think about how we are affecting the environment. political pressure is also growing, starting in 2026, only emission free ships will be allowed to sail, nor waste most beautiful fjords. the government is sending new standards for more climate friendly tourism unconventional ships. a 7 day cruise produces around 2 tons of c o, 2 per person about the same amount as a combustion engine, col, roommates, and a year the frank and mines in
5:52 am
zimmerman's are from holland. they were prepared to pay more for their 3rd cruz. how do you spell the last time we saw a black smoke coming out of the funnel, which wasn't nice, this one the shade. but this has wonderful devoss. if you have a choice, you will choice choose to state tabula ships are fueled by liquefied natural gas for l n g. c, o 2 emissions are 25 percent lower than with heavy fuel oil and toxic nitrogen oxide emissions are 90 percent lower. but ellen gee, is only an interim steps on the way to climate neutral ships that use neither gas nor marine diesel. the in the race for clean ships, competitor who is also converting its fleet. the hobby like captain, can already operate his ship electrically for up to 4 hours. yeah. right.
5:53 am
and so right now i'm just reducing a bit as they transfer from the engines to the battery power. so now i again, that's a month to the engine room to go over to your battery power chief engineer last the sun. vic is preparing the switch over. it's about to get a lot quieter here in the engine room. the fully charged batteries already and the $6.00 megawatt is so around $71.00 that's not going the batteries are only climate friendly of charged with green short power. the 1st ports along the coastal router, almost ready, and will be connected to the grid this year of the office on my
5:54 am
desktop, copenhagen as mine, we must duck 1st. a cruise ship is coming in here for a fairy is crossing our bound. it becomes the phone of about stopping without a motor is always a challenge. 35 tons of french wine must be brought safely into port wine and porters who know of us thought is eagerly awaiting it shipment. he's been working with wagner for 10 years and is used to waiting for days on end. but the mean time to do that, so who we are? 50 minutes late, i'm sorry. at least the wind has arrived safely. the importer pays the delivery fee of $1.00 euro 50 per bottle, which is 3 times more expensive than the fee for truck transport. but to him,
5:55 am
it's worth it. it's important to communicate and make people understand that it's possible to do this and maybe inspire other companies other input as can bring in some of the ship's captain is counting on this to most of the trainees, disembark, and copenhagen, filled with new knowledge and ideas. push me off from the crew, gives me hope that this can work through the they are so involved and so commit to the see saw they are putting their experiences here into practice in their own lives homes. that's what i see. that gets me helped me and then there's uh, there's my mail from the, with every voyage that today somebody's proves that emission free trade in sustainable vacations are possible. the re discovery of wind power and the development of new propulsion systems are bringing about a slow sea change together, they promise. finally,
