La brigantine de transport Tres Hombres arrivera à Brixham vers le 15 octobre 2011, avec à son bord des marchandises qui ont traversé l’Atlantique à la voile à destination des consommateurs du Devon et de Cornouailles. Durant son séjour, le navire contribuera à sensibiliser le public britannique sur les transports maritimes propres et partagera sa vision d’une transition énergétique par les voiliers traditionnels, qui permet d’envisager la construction de grands voiliers modernes.

En promouvant des produits transportés à la voile, au bilan carbone exemplaire, le Devon et la Cornouailles se tournent résolument vers l’océan, en pensant aux générations futures.

Programme :

• 14/15.10.2011: Arrivée
• 16.10.2011: Les restaurateurs régionaux sont invités à bord pour une dégustation de rhum. Distribuer du rhum Gran Añejo – transporté à la voile et sans CO₂ – à leurs clients constitue une contribution concrète à la promotion de notre démarche.
• 18.10.2011: Des spécialistes de la voile et des experts de la transition énergétique se réuniront et les journalistes seront invités pour un débat et une conférence de presse autour du capitaine, Jorne Langelaan.
• 20.10.2011: Départ vers Brest

The sailing cargo ship Tres Hombres will call in Brixham on the 14^th/15^th of October 2011 with Caribbean products. The Fair Transport “A-Label” on each of our products guarantees a reduction of 90% of carbon emissions over the maritime cargo transport.

TransOceanic Wind Transport and Fair Transport are willing to highlight the assets of tall ships and Ecoliners of the future, whilst raising the public opinion’s awareness on the fact that the shipping industry does not have the right « software » to combat climate change^[1].

A press conference is scheduled on board on the 18th of October. During this event, to which TOWT Distributors are equally invited, the actual delivery of the products booked will take place. Obviously, the more Distributors in the UK there will be, and the more goods will be purchased, the more their products’ « Fair Transport » to people in Devon and Cornwall – and of course – the more it will help sustain this project. The Distributors’ list will be often updated: first Distributors will remain on top of the list as the first concrete commercial partners.

So, to all pubs’ and clubs’ owners of Western England, please take a closer look at our 8-year old Tres Hombres CO2-free sailed Gran Añejo rum, and consider… A price list is available on request.

• 14/15.10.2011: Calling in Brixham

^[1] The current shipping industry is an actual emanation of the oil sector and the required energy paradigm change is not on its agenda – by far. A systematic discredit of projects like ours is what the « big guys » are working on.
