Trade Winds : A Voyage to a Sustainable Future for Shipping Hardback

- Information
Description
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. -- .
