too much in pansy xanax events a is even to a dog. a doctor series about our complex relationship with animals. watch now on youtube. dw documentary, 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 emit less c o 2. and thereby, we hope at least a slow climate change is on us, on how to cruise ships or climate killers to post cobit their own course to break records. one week, all inclusive, 800 euros is to take to be nice. but innovative engines and the mission for you, alternate fuels are on the horizon with assume that i'm for this or trying to
8:31 pm
address the problem, let me say. and then we could have hundreds or thousands of ships powered completely by the wind. the or i know the saying fine, a fresh breeze on the seats. how can industry make shipping cleaner? the it's ready for a new venture. the today 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 on the snow that he is. he'll be learning and working here to help me. there's one help, of course,
8:32 pm
for 46 year old under the slot now swapping the deck and maintaining his ship are every day tasks is the 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. 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,
8:33 pm
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. on with that there is a very, very small, smaller than we have. imagine at this time of year we must be down at least 30 percent already. and if there's no rain between now and harvest time, then we might be down to 50 percent in some thoughts. 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,
8:34 pm
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 will be putting on a boat going to copenhagen at the dock. the captain sets up the loading rabbit, getting help from the bainbridge families. they've been shipping their wine for 10 years. reading about 90 percent of world trade is done by cargo ship. the trades only 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. the mountains of value and we want to use this free wind energy and up. this means that because
8:35 pm
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 lot of conflicts and this is on this phone. so many of the ship is loaded with $35.00 tons of goods, the wind makers, which the crew will go journey. thank you to a bobo. something better see 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 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
8:36 pm
close quarters and little privacy for the 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 haul 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. yeah. 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 in 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
8:37 pm
or go overboard. whatever poor care. c comes 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. to be sure power is 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. 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
8:38 pm
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 transports. 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 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
8:39 pm
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 mit electric stewart is 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 most spectacular sign for the german tourist on board income was install anything i just can't believe it. it's swimming right past the motors from. i'd like to take
8:40 pm
the classes 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 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 ships and was now follow suit
8:41 pm
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 petty hooting line. the captain is about to set sail for the north, came the meanwhile, the cargo schooner has left the harbour of level ocean. a lot 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. hope you're having here? yeah, i'm, i'm something is coming toward se gomez. it's funny looking some kind of freighter, actually, probably a tanker around to $90000.00 ships, crowd the oceans and maritime trade is forecasts to increase significantly. this would be disastrous for the environment as large freighters burn up to several 100
8:42 pm
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, 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 us or visit developments with our homes. 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. but today, somebody is, can carry
8:43 pm
a maximum of 40 tons roughly to standard shipping containers. the world's largest frater, on the other hand, can carry $24000.00 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 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 in mind. 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 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 winds decides how fast it goes. the
8:44 pm
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 up there so long stay cabinet. there's, today, 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. no, it's not. so can, even though the accounts will come on 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 me live. that's a good thing. because copenhagen is still a long way off, and the forecast calls for head when the crowds altman's also works with wind power to make shipping cleaner.
8:45 pm
yeah. eventually the wind is blowing at around 20 knots today. a little harder than what's forecast. but it shows you how much power is out here. it doesn't. it's the party. let's take the, the 64 year old to up here in the east springs. yeah. where the ends river meets the north sea for him. climate change his top of mind. you know, from the left here on the eastern region, flat lands, there are some areas below sea level where 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 filters. using the local low german dialect, his board of his funds daily. the more so hopefully going on in the seventy's, the freeze and sale,
8:46 pm
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 is not of those studies. he came across a century old invention, which huge potential does it says is anton flatness 1st. wrote her ship the book out in 1924 on so not feeling sponsor the rebirth of the flat and the router. both months has developed the technology further and reintroduced 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 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
8:47 pm
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 on a plan 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 your truck without her 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 the anika path and is entering the keel canal with its router is quite the novelty . it was a new experience for captain union maintenance to, but the skipper adapted quickly. ready steve, as well off the phone with us, i don't have to do anything about the system setup. it's fully automatic. now it's
8:48 pm
starting up and we can already see how it's generating sell pounds as the speed increases. so name, i believe, is the, 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 through the end when you reduce the engine power, can you really maintain the ship speed? and this to the hosting comes with them from the forward pool, from the flight 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 $6000.00 latest a day. so a 500 latest saving today. there's nothing to sneeze them in that corresponds to
8:49 pm
$1.00 tons, less c o 221 video. but to achieve such results, the flattening roader needs the right went all in all parts of the month. the leads is roader reduces fuel consumption by around 10 percent that's with a more the fuel we saved here has never burn on thousands. that's where i see this technology. huge potential on many, many ships. and these it takes no b, i to zip on it. but then is planning to install the rotor on her next ship 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 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 but the technology has great potential.
8:50 pm
the 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, 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 well, it's minds, 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 if nothing will get in our way. the most cons this will succeed, afford the developments 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
8:51 pm
norwegian, arctics fits the start of a shift for young captain. your team of books then it's 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. unimportant courts change, welcomed by the skipper. the daughter of 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 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
8:52 pm
temperaments 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 has wonderful devoss. if you have choice, then 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.
8:53 pm
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 son vick 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 offices.
8:54 pm
just off 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 porter sooner of us thought is eagerly awaiting a 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 to 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,
8:55 pm
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 from other ship's captain is 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 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 nothing else from the with every voyage that today somebody is proves that emission free trade and 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, to make shipping cleaner,
8:57 pm
8:58 pm
time processing is the next conflict for data with china. fortunately, how do you expect to take on sullivan? the minutes on the w, the d. w. travel over the side, phase 3, food, honest, with inside entity, local, high life. well, let's go here. we go lower. so when it comes to sustain dependency information and trying to do that, when you travel, you can have it all expected to have to check the bags. so you're planning a trip to make sure you miss nothing about is on the w travel. i hope you enjoy the
8:59 pm
trip here as much as i did about you. what's your opinion? feel free to write your thoughts and the comments on the front lines under the watchful eyes of russian. well, far as he's just in the years, the war in ukraine, john and his shoreline getting reports from the russian occupied on boss region to russian soul. just think about the complex if they're still good. what else to do is to stop by tomorrow and use gun ran to weld, usually in accessible to western media. a closer look to this and more of the tricia the, the ukraine's,
9:00 pm
the also signed stops october 26 on dw the . this is dw news, and these are our top stories. us president biting has warned hurricane milton could be the worst natural disaster ever to hit florida. with more than 5000000 people ordered to evacuate. some residents of val just stay in their homes despite being told that they face death. the category for storm is currently over the gulf of mexico heading for the tampa bay area. you as president biden and his rarely prime minister benjamin netanyahu have spoken on the phone for the 1st time in weeks, according to his really officials. the talks focused on his rarely plans for a retaliatory strike on iran.
