- Q: Why did your plans to purchase and deployed in Fall of 2017 delay?
  A: Hello Konstantin, thanks for your question. Back in '16 & '17 our focus was on the wrong ship. We had targeted a 5-star twin-hull vessel that sailed very successfully for a US line but it had one overarching problem. It was slow! When we started to look at specific itineraries and then calculated the time it would take this ship to go from point A to point B, we came to the conclusion finally that we needed a faster vessel. Also causing delay was the fact that we ran out of capital a few ...
- Q: Just out of curiosity, with the new ship you've shifted your focus to, have you considered the IMO's mandatory low sulphur fuel mandates that are rolling out in 2020 in your refit cost estimates? Also, what country are you considering registering the ship under?
  A: Yes Andrew, we have budgeted for low-sulpher fuel and may possibly install a scrubber if/when these prices come down. Our company will be Miami-based. Our ship holding company will be registered in the Bahamas.
- Q: There is a fair amount of non-convertible debt that was raised early on. What are the material terms associated with those notes that could have an impact on the business and equity investors?
  A: Hi Sumeet, Thank you for your interest and for your question. These loans were made to help us get off the ground so to speak. The loans will be repaid with interest as funds are raised and cash flow above that needed for fund raising and marketing becomes available. Thus, the repayments will not impact our business plan and our obligation to equity investors. The lenders will receive small equity shares in return for stepping up during our early stages.
