the, the, that's all for now coming off a documentary on how the shipping industry could be made for climate fringing on. for now, thanks for watching the people and trucks in judge west trying to feed the city center. the straight pieces explain the around the world more than 150000000 people. we ask mine because no one should have to
3:16 am
make up your own mind. dw may 4 mines 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, 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 us, on how to cruise ships or climate killers to post coven their own course to break records. on the one week, all inclusive to 800 euros is to take to be nice. but innovative engines and admission free alternate fuels around the horizon. and,
3:17 am
and for this we're trying to address the problem, let me say, and then we could have hundreds or thousands of ships powered completely by the wind t r. i know the saying find 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 mass and room for novice sailors. captain and crew are preparing to leave france for denmark, then come welcome on board time. thank you. i think my, i'll show you around for a great. let us know that here is still you'll be learning and working here to the is one of the help of course for 46 year old on today is locked out. swapping the
3:18 am
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 lying on, but i fell in love with sailing on my very 1st ocean crossing ties 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 can it carry and all them to stay here standing 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,
3:19 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 grapes. but there is a very, very small, smaller than we have imagined. it is telling me we must be down at least 30 percent already. and if there's no rain between now and harvest time, and 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 are naturally produced winds or sailing to market. i think it's a natural extension of the way we work is we have to, to, it's using of the elements that we have it to 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,
3:20 am
jonathan and michael are there to help the vintners use recycled bottles and cartons to reduce their environmental footprint. and the next time that these boxes get tumbled, we'll 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 ships. the traits albany is a rare exception. all cargo was loaded by hand from casks 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. this mountain doesn't matter. yeah. we want to use this free wind energy and up. this means that
3:21 am
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 lot of them of saying this is on this phone. so many of the ship is loaded with $35.00 tons of goods, the wine makers, which the crew will go journey. thank you to a bowl something betsy toasts 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 columbia is 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 band coin
3:22 am
close quarters and little privacy. but a cruise was out of the question for this applicant, native for environmental reasons and simplicity. i don't mean i've never even taken a long call 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 i think that's what i'm taking her by can 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 in copenhagen in 2 weeks. despite all the euphoria sailing novice on it is also a little nervous. this is, i'm afraid i'll do something wrong or get in someone's way or go overboard whatever
3:23 am
part. c comes in norway, here to approve is readying a vessel, in this case, a diesel electric hybrid. now we're going to unplug the charging cable before we head out, so that returning your 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. im calls home the marine biologist has been working on the brim explorer for 2 years. the us today is very special today because we're starting the we're watching season
3:24 am
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. se fleet are fully electric power from 98 percent renewable sources. the 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 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
3:25 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. well done is especially the diesel is off and we're running on electricity problems via mints and electric. the stewardess almost silent until then we'll surfaces near the boat followed a short time later by a mother humpback and her cap the . this is the spectacular side for the german tourist on board. a come, wasn't strong as you know, just can't believe it. it's swimming right past the motors and i thought the whole
3:26 am
class is wales 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 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 had started a trend towards eco friendly, arctic tourism big ships. some us now follow suit
3:27 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 purity, who in line the captain is about to set sail for the north, came the meanwhile, the cargo schooner has left to the harbour of level ocean. you know, on time is all fresh people. there must tell 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. hope you're having 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 to $90000.00 ships, crowd the oceans and maritime trade is forecast to increase significantly. this would be disastrous for the environment. as large freighters burned up to several
3:28 am
100 tons of fuel of day. most of it highly toxic heavy fuel oil. the dinner time for the trainees, 5 women, and 3 men have been hired from holland, france, and austria. they are committed to climate friendly vacations and transport of goods, catalina him. there is a nature conservationist who lives on a farm near paso. why is he the sees are becoming so polluted because of all the shipping. people just buy things with no idea where they come from. us from vision involved and she was at home. 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'll hold every inch counts the today. somebody's can carry
3:29 am
a maximum of 40 tons roughly to standard shipping containers. the world's largest freighter, on the other hand, can carry 24000 containers. using photos of the energy we're 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 by it? so there are, 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 mind. more comfortable to so 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 wing sales. the ship will hardly use its engines . cutting c o 2 emissions by up to 90 percent. but today somebody has no engine at all. only the wind decides how fast it goes. the trainees do not know when they
3:30 am
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 up there so long stay cabinet. there's that we choose the route with the best when it comes on the and we try to make the most of it and get there as quickly as possible and what's going on. so if you even get onto the same journey, can take 5 days or sometimes 2 weeks or so, but our customers can live without the ones that are going the current them 11. that's a good thing because copenhagen is still a long way off. and the forecast calls for headwind. the crowds ultimately also works with wind power to make shipping cleaner.
3:31 am
eventually the wind is blowing at around 29th today. a little harder than was forecast. but it shows you how much power is out here. it doesn't it. the party, let's take the 64 year old to appear in the east springs here where the m as river meets the north sea for him. climate change his top of mind. you know, from here on the east region, flat lands, there are some areas below sea level or water could collect easily. and that of course, as a cause for concern by deed some is the added sailor's home port. a friendly chat with fellow c favors using the local load german dialect. his board of funds daily the more so hopefully going on in the seventy's, the freeze and sale, the oceans on freighters,
3:32 am
but then changed careers. he started in ad agency, he runs to this day, but he never lost his level of ships and even became a captain in 2007. during is not a cool studies. he came across a century old invention, which huge potential does it says is anton flatness 1st roader ship the book out in 1924 on so not feeling sponsor the rebirth of the flooding. 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. splitting the rotors, the 18 meter high cylinders act like a sturdy sale. the tip of the oven is about to pass through a loss on his journey to sweden. it's a special reunion that for a year and
3:33 am
a half. i think he may as i've how when i look at it now, standing there that way we put it up for sure. i'm proud of it both months and this customer company owner and meet up to take stock. we want to take steps to make the shipping industry more sustainable. so this roader is a very good start of you spoke with her shipping company invested 700000 euros and the 1st router, almost half of the sum was covered by you subsidies the ship's captain. is waiting for them on board the uncut path and is entering the teal canal with its router is quite the novelty . it was a new experience for captain union maintenance to but the skipper adapter quickly, stevens off the phone. i don't have to do anything about the system set up. it's
3:34 am
fully automatic. now it's starting up and we can already see how it's generating sale pounds as the speed increases. so name of the z, the cost of the road or 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 shift forward the this magnets effect provides additional propulsion. the i'm not going to like the end when you reduce the engine power, can you really maintain the ship speed when it hasn't come with them from the forward pull from the flight not use the energy. i save an engine power, it's fine. 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 later saving today is nothing to sneeze up now doesn't. and that corresponds
3:35 am
to $1.00 tons, less c o 221 video. but to achieve such results, the flattening rotor needs the right went all in all parts of the month believes as rotor reduces fuel consumption by around 10 percent. that's with him on the fuel we saved here has never burn. i spun 1000. that's where i see this technology huge potential on many, many ships. and these it takes no to be. it's a zip on a problem and is planning to install the rotor on her next chip to though she's hoping for better results back and east free shift and always months. i think you already know mr. olds month. one of our alumni for many years ago for the future and young professor fast assisted all the demands and developing the router there, testing whether to rotors could save even more fuel. today's container ships often lack of dec space for to,
3:36 am
but the technology has great potential. the i'm 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 just put this on a, i mean, seriously, i'm pretty sure that will be sailing on ships like this within the next few years. 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. from 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
3:37 am
norwegian, arctics fits the start of a shift for young captain. your team of books then it's for the leading a voyage on the postal route is best 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 as she's one years old. and the 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 norway as 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, call roommates, and a year. the frank and mines in
3:38 am
temperaments are from holland. they were prepared to pay more for their 3rd cruise . for the small last time we saw a black smoke coming out of the funnel, which wasn't nice to on 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 to you who is also converting its fleet. the hobby like captain, can already operate his ship electrically for up to 4 hours. yeah. look.
3:39 am
and so right now i'm just reducing a bit of state transfer from the engines to the battery power. so now i again to come onto the engine room to go over to your battery powered chief engineer. last sunday 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 route are almost ready and will be connected to the grid. this year instead of
3:40 am
just off copenhagen as mine, we must duck 1st. a cruise ship is coming and safe, but i am a fairy is crossing our bound theater. become the foreigner for by stopping without a motor is always a challenge. 35 tons of french wine must be brought safely into port wine and porters who know hot spot is eagerly awaiting it shipment. he's been working with black now for 10 years and is used to waiting for days on end. but the mean time to do that will be a 50 minutes late. i'm sorry at least the wind has arrived safely. the importer pays the delivery fee of one year old, 50 per bottle, which is 3 times more expensive than the fee for truck transport. but to him,
3:41 am
it's worth it, it's important to communicate and make people understand that it's possible and maybe inspire other companies that employees can bring in. some of the ship's captain is counting on this to most of the trainees disembarking 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 seek saw they are putting their experiences here into practice in their own lives, homes that i see that gives me hope and then there's uh, there's nothing else from the, with every voyage that today somebody is proves that it mission free, trade and sustainable vacations are possible. re discovery of wind power and the development of new propulsion systems are bringing about a slow sea change together. they promise. finally,
3:43 am
india digital waste as a massive problem silver f and frank. as a life span of the advisors, increased consumer advocates wants to take action while the still can. they are promoting a movement called the right to repair. i'm here in delhi, there is back to figure out how all of this is going to fail. it's indeed in 15 minutes on the w, my name is the calls back said wow,
3:44 am
thank you so much for joining in. welcome to don't hold a bad. a lot of people do that. it's all about saying it loud. things wouldn't mean that there's no say like good everyone to ok. retiring into a microphone. sorry. check out the award winning outcome. don't hold back on the front lines under the watchful eyes of russian was thorazine. just in the 1st years of war in ukraine, john and is shown land, good reports from the russian occupied dumbass regions. it, there's to be what else to do was to stop by tomorrow, and he's got another thing about the brand new as well. do usually to next festival to western media. a closer look at some of attrition.
3:45 am
ukraine's whole, the other side starts october 26th on dw, the a munich october's. this is a 16 day party. the pavilion slopes festival drove millions with his beard, tradition, and wild atmosphere. but there's a darker side with many drinking to excess. don't take your pants down, tried to cry, and crossing boundaries. people know what to expect. you to october specialist once in male dominated space, but now women are taking on more jobs like manage and we're tens.
