What your investement supports<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In March 2025, we made the first payment for our future sail-powered cargo ship\u2014a major milestone made possible by the \u20ac6.8 million already raised.<\/strong> In addition, a bank loan now covers 80% of the ship\u2019s cost.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ahead of the ship\u2019s launch in June 2027, further funding is required to cover remaining project expenses and ensure uninterrupted progress, setting the stage for our first revenue.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
