Syphax received an invitation from Belco. He was asked to join the first return trip of the Anemos. The ship would travel from Santa Marta, Colombia, to Le Havre, France, its home. It carried many tons of Colombian coffee.
Guillaume Le Grand and Diana Mesa started TOWT in 2016. This French firm sought to ship goods using only wind and sails. They wanted to revive old methods with modern speed. Belco, a coffee importer, loved this idea. They invested early to help build a new sailing cargo ship.
In 2023, Belco called Syphax. They wanted Syphax to join the Anemos’ first return trip. The ship sailed from Colombia to France. It carried tons of fine Colombian coffee. The Anemos is now sailing as the coffee year starts. This story shows teamwork, smart ideas, and new ways to work in coffee.
