The Neoliner Origin, a 136-meter sailing ro-ro freighter, is getting closer to becoming a reality. Scheduled to enter service in mid-2025, the vessel promises to transform shipping. maritime transport thanks to its innovative wind propulsion, enabling savings of up to 90% in CO₂ emissions.
Equipped with retractable anti-drift fins that optimize its performance, the Neoliner Origin has been designed in collaboration with FOURE LAGADEC Marine.
About the construction of the ro-ro cargo ship Neoliner Origin
One of the recent achievements in the construction of the Neoliner Origin is the shipment of its SolidSail shipment of its SolidSail rig to Turkey, where the carbon masts and sails will be mounted.where the carbon masts and sails will be mounted. This system will enable fully wind-driven sailing, making the Neoliner one of the first of its kind in the shipping market. In addition, the tilting masts will allow the sails to be adjusted according to wind conditions, further improving the vessel’s energy efficiency.
The vessel will cover transatlantic routes connecting key ports such as Saint Nazaire, Baltimore and Halifax. Among the companies that have already booked space to carry cargo aboard the Neoliner are big names committed to the energy transition such as Renault, Michelin and Hennessy.
These companies seek to reduce their carbon footprint and contribute to a more sustainable maritime industry.
With significant cargo capacity and state-of-the-art technology, the Neoliner Origin is poised to set a new standard in the shipping industry. The commitment to wind energy not only represents a significant reduction in emissions, but also opens the door to a new era of shipping powered by renewable energy sources.
