The Next Frontier in Indonesian Inter-Island Logistics & Transit

A high-speed maritime vessel that flies at the speed of an aircraft, runs on local agricultural waste, and requires zero airport infrastructure.

By combining Wing-in-Ground-Effect (WIGE) aerodynamics with an ultra-efficient, fuel-agnostic Supercritical CO2 (sCO2) power cycle, this platform completely decouples island connectivity from traditional aviation and fossil fuel supply chains.

Why Indonesia? Solving the 17,500+ Island Dilemma

Indonesia’s unique geography creates massive economic friction. Developing traditional infrastructure across thousands of islands faces distinct barriers:

• The Airport Infrastructure Bottleneck: Building runways on remote islands (e.g., Natuna, Maluku, Raja Ampat) is financially prohibitive and ecologically damaging.

• The Marine Diesel Trap: Small islands depend heavily on expensive, highly subsidized Marine Gas Oil (MGO) shipped from centralized refineries, creating massive price disparities (Kesenjangan Harga).

• The Speed-vs-Cost Gap: Traditional ferries are cheap but painfully slow (taking days), while commercial aviation is fast but expensive and limited by runway access.

Key Pillars & Commercial Advantages

1. Total Fuel Sovereignty (Gas, Liquid, or Solid Biochar)

The defining breakthrough of this sCO2-powered WIGE is its external combustion closed-loop system. It doesn't care what fuel is burned—only that heat is generated.

• Indonesia is the world's largest producer of palm oil waste (EFB/shells) and agricultural residues. Local communities can compress this waste into high-energy bio-coal or biochar pellets.

2. Radical Infrastructure Independence

• WIGE vessels operate strictly under maritime regulations (classified as ships, not aircraft) and utilize existing sea-lanes and docks.

3. Hyper-Speed at Maritime Cost Structures

• sCO2 turbines are roughly 10x smaller than comparable steam configurations and reach thermodynamic efficiencies above 45–50%.

4. Direct Alignment with National Mandates (Tol Laut & Net-Zero)

• Supports the Indonesian government's Tol Laut (Sea Toll Road) program for regional economic equity and fulfills international carbon-reduction goals through BECCS (Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage).
