Manufacturing
Western Influences is currently supporting an Australian company investigating the feasibility of opening a boat building business in a developing country. The material the boats are manufactured from is environmentally sustainable, and will last 100+ years with little to no requirement for repairs and / or maintenance. This new concept in boat building is powered by the most energy efficient motor possible, which makes its running costs negligible.
The Philippines Military has already expressed interest in the boats; and, many other uses such as tenders for oil rigs, commercial fishing in Fiji and eco-tourism in Australia are being discussed. Bali is being considered as a viable host for this business. Western Influences is looking for suitable industry and commercial partners to launch this venture.
Establishing this kind of business sets up whole communities with a sustainable future. Not only are jobs created in the business itself, but jobs are created both forward and backward along the supply chain; and, in supporting businesses such as housing, food and clothing for the workers.
