After a call from Rolls Royce top brass: Jane, Bron and I will be flying to Jakarta to load the BATAVIA mother-ship early Monday 17th January.
Rolls Royce has offered to cover the first 2 weeks of the charter only, so we are still keen to talk to others who can help for the months ahead. The Rolls Royce team has lined up Unilever for supplies of disinfectants, cleaning chemicals/materials and anything else they might have in their warehouse.
Much of the material we want to load is available in Jakarta but there are some items that we have not sourced yet:
On board:
• Internet capable Marine Satellite Phone and Modem (ie., Fleet modem). (we could borrow and return later)
• Watermaker(s) (again, on loan if we cant find a donated one)
• Washing machines (the boat has no laundry)
• Chairs tables for the dining room (plastic stackable)
• A few office desks and chairs for the coordination room
• Power tools, workbenches, bench grinders
• Anything that would be usefull in an on board workshop
• Welding plant
For Village infrastructure:
• Generators, 1,000w, 1,500w, 2,500w petrol and 5KVA diesel.
• Village PV power kits (just to run a TV set)
• Water tanks Tents Hand Tools
• PVC pipe, water supply and drainage + fittings and glue
• Roofing material
• Nails, Bolts, Screws
• Paint, both oil based and water based
Medicine....(a comprehensive list tomorrow)
Ships Stores - Food/drinks and consumables... We have lots of freezer space.
