To offer a sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative
TOWT âeuros Sailing transport proposes a drastic solution to reduce polluting emissions: the transport of goods by sail. This international project is in line with the objectives set by the Kyoto Treaty and Europe 2020 and promotes a clean transport label. By transporting goods on sailboats, the journey is accomplished without oil and therefore without pollution. TOWT âeuros Sailing transport has the ambition to develop its fleet and to build the Eco-sailboats of tomorrow. To support their action and to propose sailing ships suitable for the transport of goods, it is by there: www.towt.eu .
