AVONTUUR SHIPPING NEWS

Philadelphia, January 2024

HEADING FOR THE AZORES

WARM WELCOME IN FRESH AIR

In the crisp winter air of last Thursday, 18. January 2024, the AVONTUUR, our majestic sailing cargo ship that aims to rekindle the age-old tradition of sustainable, wind-powered shipping went alongside the Gloucester terminal on Delaware River opposite the bustling town of Philadelphia.
The AVONTUUR, laden with 70,000 kilograms of ethically sourced Colombian coffee beans, stands as a symbol of a new era in maritime transportation, combining the romance of seafaring with a commitment to environmental responsibility.
With the coffee successfully delivered to the consignee, Café William, the AVONTUUR set her sails once again last Sunday, bidding farewell to Philadelphia. Captain Cornelius and his crew, invigorated by the positive reception, despite the chilly temperatures, prepared for the next leg of their journey, yet another transatlantic voyage.
AVONTUUR’s next destination is the port of Horta, Faial, Azores, where she will load Gin, Tea and Wine and continue to prove that wind-powered shipping is not just a romantic notion but a viable and essential solution for a more sustainable future. As the ship sailed away, leaving a trail of inspiration and memories behind, the city of Philadelphia looked forward to the day when more vessels would follow in the AVONTUUR’s wake, embracing the winds of change for a cleaner, greener world.

UPDATE:
LAUNCH IN NEW HOME PORT BREMEN

We are delighted with the successful launch of our store and café for sailed goods in Ostertor in Bremen. The opening took place on December 2 and we would like to thank the neighbourhood for the warm welcome! In the run-up to Christmas, the new location has already been explored, and not just by the people of Bremen. We are delighted with the enthusiasm and positive feedback we have received and are very motivated to continue working with you to make the transportation of goods more sustainable.
Meanwhile, the store is constantly changing and improving. It smells wonderfully of coffee, timber and chocolate, and the different types of rum are presented in their various colours, from light gold to amber and dark caramel. The cozy couches, armchairs and chairs invite you to stay – make yourself comfortable with a cappuccino, chocolate or espresso!
Meanwhile, AVONTUUR is currently in the process to sustainably bring new eco-fair goods and expanding our choice of products – come around and taste!
