Core to our vision is to support natural systems. This means building our company responsibly from the ground up. Every decision we make is framed around its immediate impact and future sustainability.
Our Story
In 2019, we started building Ceiba, the largest sailing cargo ship of its kind. The aim was, and remains, to create a for-profit company and prove the value of clean shipping.
Since then, with support from investors around the world, the company has grown to become a globally recognized leader in the clean shipping movement. To meet cargo demand, we have expanded operations to include a growing fleet of zero-emission sailing ships.
Located in Costa Rica, our dedicated team is made up of talented professionals from around the world. We ensure environmentally sustainable practices by managing every step of the shipping process, from sourcing renewable materials, combining traditional and modern building techniques to logistics management and marketing.
