Crossing the Oceans Sustainably with Danielle Veer

June 1st @ 12:00pm eastern

Founder of the 5 x award-nominated Veer Group, Danielle was named by the Royal Institute of Naval Architects as one of the most influential women of the century, and was listed by The Ocean Opportunity Lab as an inspirational female founder to watch. As a clean shipping and energy company, Veer will gain breakthrough momentum by deploying the first clean containership to cross an ocean.

Originally from the Great Lakes of Canada, Danielle began sailing at age 13.  A graduate of the Enkhuizer Sea Academy, she learned Dutch to graduate. She obtained her 200T masters ticket at the age of 21 which empowered her to be captain of the flagship of Barbados, cargo schooner Ruth.

She is founder of SAILCARGO INC. co-founder of the Costa Rican non-profit AstilleroVerde, which  plants thousands of trees and creates jobs in a vulnerable coastal community. Each year Danielle’s company sponsors a young lady to sail on the tallship St. Lawrence II – a ‘’thank you’’ to the Canadian ship that first inspired her.
