A $32m (€23m) contract to build the ship was awarded to Fassmer Shipyard, Germany, in July 2009. Funds for Rainbow Warrior III's construction are been sourced from various sponsors.
The 57m-long ship will use wind energy instead of fossil fuels and incorporate green marine technology.

Rainbow Warrior III will be a sailing ship mostly dependent on wind energy. It will, however, have a back-up engine – Volvo Penta D65A MT 1850 HP – that runs on diesel-electric propulsion. The back-up engine will be used during bad weather conditions and will have a speed of up to 11kt.
