The world’s first commercial sailing ro/ro, the 136-meter Neoliner Origin, arrived in the Port of Baltimore on October 30, 2025, completing a challenging trans-Atlantic maiden voyage from Saint-Nazaire, France.
According to Neoline, two days into the voyage, the top panel on the aft main sail, one of the ship’s four sails, was damaged during a severe Atlantic storm. The Neoliner Origin continued its journey in hybrid mode, sailing on the undamaged forward mast sails along with its diesel-electric engine power.
Technicians were flown to Saint Pierre and Miquelon, a French archipelago south of the Canadian island of Newfoundland, to assist with the sail repairs before it proceeded to Baltimore.
