At the Fair Future of Sail Symposium, Dr. Lucy Gilliam shared insights from over 20 years in environmental science and marine policy. As co-lead of One Planet Port, she champions sustainable shipping through wind propulsion, clean fuels, and science-based innovation, paving the way for a resilient, low-carbon maritime future.
The sailing vessel Avontuur returned safely from voyage #13, carrying fair-trade coffee and cocoa across the Atlantic. Welcomed by the Fair Winds Collective, the crew celebrated sustainable trade and emission-free transport, proving that eco-friendly shipping and global cooperation can unite continents through respect for people, planet, and tradition.
The Ide Min arrived in Amsterdam carrying cacao, rum, and coffee under Kaap Kargo’s banner. Welcomed by the Fair Winds Collective, the voyage celebrated sustainable and ethical trade. More than commerce, it symbolized respect for nature, fair treatment of producers, and the shared pursuit of an equitable, environmentally responsible future.
