Towt

Since 2011, TOWT (TransOceanic Wind Transport) has been putting wind back at the heart of maritime transport. Founded by Guillaume Le Grand and Diana Mesa, the company has become world’s leading wind-powered cargo carrier. In 2024, TOWT reached a major milestone with the launch of its first next-generation cargo sailing vessels. This new fleet marks the transition from a pioneering vision to an industrial-scale reality, proving that maritime transport can be efficient, innovative, and low-carbon. By harnessing a renewable and time-honored energy source — the wind — enhanced by cutting-edge technology, TOWT is helping shape a maritime logistics model aligned with planetary boundaries. Wind-powered shipping dramatically reduces CO₂ emissions while restoring meaning and purpose to global trade routes. Beyond transportation, TOWT embraces a broader environmental commitment, embodied in the “Transported by Sail” label, which guarantees a more responsible and transparent supply chain. Making wind a solution for the future of global trade — that is TOWT’s ambition.
