Trade Winds - A Voyage to a Sustainable Future for Shipping (Hardcover)
Expected to ship within 12 - 19 working days
|
In 2020, Christiaan De Beukelaer spent 150 days covering 14,000
nautical miles aboard the schooner Avontuur, a hundred-year-old
sailing vessel that transports cargo across the Atlantic Ocean.
Embarking in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, he wanted to understand the
realities of a little-known alternative to the shipping industry on
which our global economy relies, and which contributes more carbon
emissions than aviation. What started as a three-week stint of
fieldwork aboard the ship turned into a five-month journey, as the
COVID-19 pandemic forced all borders shut while crossing the ocean,
preventing the crew from stepping ashore for months on end. Trade
winds engagingly recounts De Beukelaer's life-changing personal
odyssey and the complex journey the shipping industry is on to cut
its carbon emissions. The Avontuur's mission remains crucial as
ever: the shipping industry urgently needs to stop using fossil
fuels, starting today. If we can't swiftly decarbonise shipping, we
can't solve the climate crisis. -- .
