2 Products and Services<br />
2.1 Sustainable Pollution Free Shipping<br />
The commodities and products we concentrate on are mainly in the ever growing ecological<br />
produce market. We combine sourcing of ecological products with ecological<br />
transport! In the western world, local organic goods and ethical products are one of<br />
the fastest growing sectors of the market. All these organic (biological) and ecological<br />
goods must also be transported in a likewise manner. By bringing focus back to ethical<br />
goods delivered cleanly to non-local consumers an entire new culture is created,<br />
one that includes sailing cargo ships and preserves the skills necessary to build and<br />
maintain strong trade relations.<br />
The Nordlys Shipping Company offers freight services between markets on the North<br />
Western European coast. This will create a unique opportunity for producers and distributors<br />
mindful of harmful greenhouse gasses produced by the maritime industry. A<br />
sailing cargo vessel offers a very sustainable alternative to motor driven vessels.<br />
Freight transport without CO2 or other polluting emissions, optimal use of alternative<br />
energies, employment, training and team building, all with respect for the environment<br />
which brings great satisfaction for the crew, participants and followers of this<br />
growing movement.<br />
The Nordlys sails a trade route connecting ports between Norway, Portugal and<br />
the Mediterranean. Markets could be reached easily and more regularly given the<br />
operational area would be mainly focused on the North-West European coast. The<br />
area has many diverse cargos ranging from building supplies to foodstuffs and spirits.<br />
Many connections between producers and distributors have already been established<br />
by the general agent. We have guaranteed cargos from Netherlands, Portugal,<br />
Denmark, the UK, France and Germany and the Nordlys has been put into<br />
immediate service serving these customers. Our network extends throughout Europe<br />
and our trading team are always on the lookout for new trading opportunities<br />
with the schedule and route adapting according to need. Fairtransport is also a<br />
founding member of the Sail Cargo Alliance, a network of sail cargo ships, agents<br />
and brokers, collaborating to grow the sail cargo industry.<br />
