The Sailboat Transport Working Group addresses a question that could be of particular significance for the network's future: How can Europe-regional supply structures be further developed so that they not only function but also become more ecologically and culturally coherent?
This is not simply about an alternative means of transport but rather a fundamental examination of how supply is organized. Sailboat transport serves here as an example of the search for ways to reconnect logistics, responsibility, and sustainability.
The working group focuses on how sailboats or other particularly low-emission transport methods could prospectively become part of supply chains within the TEIKEI context.
Key aspects include:
TEIKEI does not think about supply solely in terms of the product but in terms of the entire system.
This includes the routes by which food, materials, and other goods are moved. Rethinking transport affects not only emissions but also time, relationships, reliability, collaboration, and the question of what form of infrastructure aligns with a community-driven economy.
For this reason, this working group is more than just a specialized topic. It touches on the fundamental question of how TEIKEI wants to shape supply in the future.
The topic is interesting because it connects practical logistics with a broader developmental question.
Here, the following intersect:
The working group can thus be a space where vision and feasibility engage in dialogue.
This working group is for people interested in the following topics:
Participants do not need to bring specialized expertise in the strict sense. Questions, perspectives, contacts, or practical experiences can also be valuable.
Not every contribution needs to be long-term or highly binding.
A contribution can also consist of:
Even occasional involvement can help advance the topic and make it fruitful for the network.
If viable insights or next steps emerge from this working group, they can have an impact in many areas.
For example, in the form of:
This way, what begins as an open question can become a resource that supports the network in its long-term orientation.
This page serves as an introduction to the Sailboat Transport Working Group.
It aims to highlight why this topic is relevant for TEIKEI, what questions are being explored, and how new perspectives for logistics in the network can gradually emerge from it.
