Hi guys: I've been on this list too for just a bit...
Yeah interesting: as I say e-biz without "hardware" logistics is ...
nothing!
I tried to contact them but their website contact page refused to
send... so I copied to 'carrieres'...
I used the seaplane "Goose" in the Virgin islands decades ago... but not
that simple: landing tru all kinds of tiny skiffs, and need
infrastructure we don't have here like ramps etc... Even the Gilbert
islands have dirt strips already in use by planes as well as pigs and
bicycles...
The above seaplane idea is for intra PIC; or perhaps between PIC
capitals -if there is any cargo on such routes! For links to the "real"
world, big cities [even Honolulu nowadays?] usually have no allowance
for seaplanes, so still need land drones -big ones that serve the whole
tiny PIC.
We'll have to see how it all works out in a few years.
Anybody here can dig their CEO's email addy from Linkedin or whatever?
Thanks for the link!
Christian

Nice look at a project to improve freight services,
with a huge potential impact to the Pacific.

That's pretty good news for far-flung archipelagos
with intermittent delivery by boat! It seems,
though, they are only talking about delivery.
Hopefully, the companies will allow cargo both ways,
so goods can be sold to other markets by those "far
out there" PICs.

ps. Maybe put this on PICISOC? Christian from
Kiribati will like the news... ;-)
