French sail Cargo Company and chocolatier Grain de Sail has just unveiled its most ambitious plans yet for a much larger sail cargo ship. The new design for Grain de Sail III aims for a capacity of 200 TEU, or 2,800 metric tons, and is part of a broader vision to have up to four ships by 2027. This impressive 360-foot vessel is set to make Atlantic crossings in about 13 days, operating entirely on wind power except when manoeuvring in ports. It will also include a wood pellet boiler to provide heat and hot water for the crew. Co-Founder and President Oliver Barreau stated, "With Grain de Sail III, we are showcasing our ambitions and strengthening our leadership in the decarbonized maritime transport segment. To make wind-powered transport accessible, we need to change scale, and that’s what we’re about to do with a pure sailing container ship." The ship will feature over 43,000 square feet of sail area, three masts, and large rigid sails, all optimized for cargo transport. Its height of 205 feet will allow it to pass under major bridges, and retractable dagger boards will help it perform well against the wind while minimizing its draft in port. The company emphasizes that scaling up will drastically reduce the carbon footprint, claiming a reduction of over 90 percent in emissions, with just 1 to 2 grams of CO2 emitted per ton of cargo transported per kilometer. That’s 10 to 20 times less than the current fleet. Grain de Sail is aiming to introduce this larger vessel by 2027, following the launch of its second ship, Grain de Sail II, earlier this year. Built in Vietnam, this smaller vessel has a capacity of 350 tons and is 52 feet long, crossing the Atlantic in about 18 days at speeds of 11 to 12 knots.French sail Cargo Company and chocolatier Grain de Sail has just unveiled its most ambitious plans yet for a much larger sail cargo ship.
