Pitch

A new category of ship-- the world’s first small-scale, low-impact, all-renewable powered ship for use in a variety of situations.


Description

Summary

The shipping industry is the dirtiest, least regulated industries in all the world. Just 16 of the larges ships generate as much pollution as all of the cars in the world. A small, fuel-free industrial ship for impoverished communities incorporating traditional knowledge and certified for use globally. Versatile, robust, and designed to be owned and operated in marginal economies for cargo, fisheries, patrol and other utilities. Unlimited range, energy generation, and port independence make it a pioneering, leapfrog, appropriate technology.
