let's talk about there is a significant risk of human extinction from advancing our system. our series continues to d. w. the r c's promise breathtaking vistas and a sense of freedom. but there 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, because on those, on how to cruise ships or climate killers to post coven their own course to break records. one week, all inclusive, 800 euros is to take to be nice,
12:31 am
but innovative engines and emission for you alternate fuels are on the horizon. we've assume that i'm for this or trying to address 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 find a fresh breeze on the seats. how can industry make shipping cleaner? the, it's ready for a new adventure. the day somebody's, 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 that he is still, he will be learning and working. here to help me
12:32 am
is one of the help of course, for 46 year old under a, a slot. now swapping the deck in maintaining his ship are every day tasks, 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 it. i only shipped over to avoid blind on spot. 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 you 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
12:33 am
transporting french wine, 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 why. but extreme drought is taking its toll on their grades on with 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 as time, and we might be down to 50 percent in some thoughts on those, 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 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
12:34 am
our children it's a small winery and sons, 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. reading about 90 percent of world trade is done by cargo ship. the traits albany 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. this mountain
12:35 am
doesn't have to be out and we want to use this free wind energy and up. this means because it makes more sense than burning oil and all that. we want to show people that it's possible to put in this is that it can be done differently. that's a rosanne jose and this is on the screen. so many of the ship is loaded with $35.00 tons of goods. the wine makers wish 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 the on 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
12:36 am
a real adventure holiday. i asked, i think this is my bon koya, close quarters and little privacy. but a 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, veronica 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'll do something wrong or get in someone's way
12:37 am
or go overboard. whatever poor care. c toms, are in norway here to approve is ready in a vessel, in this case, a diesel electric hybrid. we're going to unplug the charging cable before we head out to be sure powers, because it's mostly made for 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,
12:38 am
the 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 in 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
12:39 am
short power in many different harbors. the quicker the change will happen. they hope to be diesel 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 this problem via mit electric. the sword is almost silent until then wheels surfaces near the boat followed a short time later by a mother humpback andrew, the this is the
12:40 am
most spectacular sight for the german tourist on board. a come was installing it, you know, just can't believe it. it's swimming right. past the motors from i'd love to take them to class because wales communicate by sound. loud engines make it difficult for them to find food and navigate, endangering their survival. so the more quiet 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 the 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
12:41 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 shed. i know of on time is all fresh people that must tell them how to do 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. 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 to $90000.00 ships. crowd the oceans and maritime trade is
12:42 am
forecasts to increase significantly. this 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 men and been hired from holland, france, and austria. they are committed to climate friendly vacations and transport of goods, catalina, whom 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. fossil vision involvement. yeah. people should think about what they really need and what they can do without that then 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
12:43 am
counts for today. somebody is, can carry a maximum of 40 tons roughly to standard shipping containers. the world's largest trader, on the other hand, can carry 24000 containers. were using for us, not the energy we're full and so is the freighter. it's on the questionnaires with want to mentor dimension. how does that cargo make people's lives better samsung by it. so that 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 and my hands are more comfortable too. 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 today, somebody else has no engine at all. only the wind decides how fast it goes. the
12:44 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 the and we try to make the most of it and get there as quickly as possible and what's known. so if you're able to get onto the same journey, can take 5 days or sometimes 2 weeks or so, but our customers can live with the ones that are going to be going into midland. that's a good thing because copenhagen is still a long way off, and the forecast calls for headwind, the
12:45 am
crowds ultima and also works with wind power to make shipping cleaner. yeah. eventually the wind is blowing at around 20 knots today, a little higher 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 up here in east springs. yeah. where the ends river meets the north sea for him. climate change his top of mind. you know, from here on the east region flatlands, there are some areas below sea level for 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 low german dialect. his board of the mountains daily the board. so
12:46 am
hopefully going on in the seventy's, the freezing and sale, 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 with huge potential. that's it says this is antoine flatness 1st. rotors ship the book out in 1924 also not feeling sponsor the rebirth of the flatten a router. 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 capital oven is about to pass through
12:47 am
a loss on his journey to sweden. it's a special reunion that for a year and 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. ultimate incentives, 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. per 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 anika because it is entering the keel canal. with its rotor is quite the novelty. it was a new experience for captain. you again made ans to about the skipper adapted
12:48 am
quickly, statements will offer photos. i don't have to do anything about the system setup. it's fully automatic. now it's starting up and we can already see how it's generating sale pounds as the speed increases. so name, i believe, is either the confidence or 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 i'm not going to do like this 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 spot. 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
12:49 am
a $500.00 later saving today is nothing to sneeze out now doesn't. and that corresponds to $1.00 tons, less c o. 2 students want to achieve such results, the flooding or wrote or needs the right went all in all the thoughts of the minds believes as roader reduces fuel consumption by around 10 percent is with a mazda fuel. we saved here has never burned 1000. that's where i see this technology, huge potential on many, many ships these at tech know to be i'm so is it on a problem and is planning to install the rotor on her next ship too though she's hoping for better results back and east reach you and always months, i think you already know mr. olds month. one of our alumni for many years ago for the few and few and young professor fast assistants months in developing the router . they're testing whether to rotors could save even more fuel. today's container
12:50 am
ships often lack of dec space for to but the technology has great potential. yeah, 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 was on a, i mean 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 well, it's minds, it's starting to feel tail wind. after 15 years of work, more and more shipping companies are showing interest in his technology really spend up on phase and festival. so i'm firmly convinced that we're on the right track as a 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. a like for the man from east ridge at the
12:51 am
norwegian arctic fits the start of a shift for young captain. your team of books then is 1st the leading a voyage on the postal route is about sol as a new gas. electric hybrid owner is hobby level, which is wants to cut emissions and important courts change. welcomed by the skipper. the daughter is just one years old and the she was born or 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 weighs 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, car minutes and
12:52 am
a year. the frank and mines and zimmerman's are from holland. they were prepared to pay more for their 3rd cruise. forward you smell last time we saw a black smoke coming out of the funnel, which wasn't nice to on the shade. but this is 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,
12:53 am
can already operate his ship electrically for up to 4 hours. yeah. i so right now i'm just reducing a bit as they transfer from the engines to the battery power. so now i again get them 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. this house knock on 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
12:54 am
this year of the office. either one of them. i just, i'm copenhagen. as mine, we must duck 1st. a cruise ship is coming in safe, but i am a fairy is crossing our bell bed. she comes to the phone for by the 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 there 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 wine has arrived safely. the importer pays the delivery fee
12:55 am
of one year old. 50 per bottle, which is 3 times more expensive than the fee for truck transport. but to him, 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 or the import us can bring in some other ships. just kept it as counting on this to most of the trainees, disembark, and copenhagen, filled with new knowledge and ideas. plus me all 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's what i see. that gives me hope and then there's uh, there's nothing else from the with every voyage that today. somebody's proves that emission free trade in sustainable vacations are possible. the re discovery of wind
