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 />
