Why a vessel mattersThe work is local.
The work is local.
The distances are not.
Crystal Ailan operates from Badu Island. Reaching remote shorelines and moving recovered material requires boats, people and careful logistics.
An additional vessel is intended to extend that work: reaching more collection locations and supporting the movement of recovered material. Routes, carrying capacity and operating arrangements will depend on the final vessel and project plan.
