Logistics giant DHL plans to incorporate sail-powered vessels into its transatlantic shipping routes as early as 2027. The company intends to transport portions of its cargo via sailing ships, leveraging a return to older transportation technology. This initiative is driven by a dual objective: to reduce the company’s carbon footprint and to achieve cost savings in its operations. DHL believes sail freight offers a viable alternative for certain types of goods and routes. The move reflects a growing industry interest in sustainable shipping solutions amid increasing environmental concerns. The company has not yet detailed which specific goods will be transported by sail or the scale of the operation. This represents a significant step towards decarbonizing DHL’s supply chain.
