What your investement supports

In March 2025, we made the first payment for our future sail-powered cargo ship—a major milestone made possible by the €6.8 million already raised. In addition, a bank loan now covers 80% of the ship’s cost.

Ahead of the ship’s launch in June 2027, further funding is required to cover remaining project expenses and ensure uninterrupted progress, setting the stage for our first revenue.
