Informative comment by /u/thatjoachim:

Especially in France, the industry is very innovative. Here are some of the wind-powered cargo ship companies:

• Néoline (based in Nantes), one ship (which we see on the video), more are yet to come

• Vela (based in Bayonne), 5 ships are expected to be launched between 2026 and 2028

• TOWT (based in Le Havre), 2 ships since 2024, 6 more are being built

• Windcoop (based in Marseille), expected launch of their first ship in 2027

• Grain de Sail (based in Saint-Malo), 3 ships, their chocolate is delicious

  some other names, though I don’t know as much about >them: Hisseo, Fairtransport, Bourlingue et Pacotille, Heol Sailing

If you want to see their respective sizes, here’s a diagram showing the ships side by side with a famous sail ship (the Bélem) and the famous cargo that blocked the Suez Canal, the Evergiven
