Problem
The final leg of maritime freight transport relies heavily on diesel trucks, contributing to road congestion and high CO2 emissions. This dependence creates bottlenecks at major port hubs and increases the environmental impact of goods distribution.
Solution
Fly-Box utilizes patented hydrofoil technology to transport standard 40-foot containers between major port hubs and smaller secondary ports via waterways. This approach reduces the number of diesel trucks needed for last-mile delivery, alleviating road congestion and lowering CO2 emissions. By connecting primary and secondary ports, Fly-Box offers a more sustainable and efficient solution for maritime freight transport, particularly for routes along coastal regions, lakes, and rivers. The technology is designed for waterway transportation, providing an alternative to traditional trucking for the final distribution of goods.
Target Audience
Fly-Box targets port authorities, logistics companies, and businesses involved in maritime freight transport seeking sustainable and efficient solutions for last-mile delivery.
