Internationally recognized as the foremost authority on market analysis and regulatory compliance in North America, Pacific Seaflight is leading the quest to commercialize Wing-in-Ground effect technology through the Blue Dolphin "wingship".

Passenger Ferry Operations

Implementing the first high-speed passenger ferry service employing state-of-the-art Wing-in-Ground effect technology in the Pacific Northwest coastal region, Pacific Seaflight is revolutionizing the marine transportation industry. Pacific Seaflight will be entering the marine transportation and tourism industry in Southeast Alaska as the initial market. Using twelve passenger wingship marine vessels, we will offer passenger, freight and sightseeing services between Juneau and other communities in Alaska's Inside Passage.

Our initial goal is to establish a profitable enterprise while revolutionizing the way residents of the Inside Passage live and work. The availability of economical fast transport between communities will encourage sustainable local economic development currently constrained by the transportation realities of the region. Pacific Seaflight will also be able to capitalize on the novelty of the wingship by providing the summer tourism market with a highly visible and unique activity.

By introducing commercial wingship transportation into the North American market, Pacific Seaflight will place Alaska on the cutting edge of the marine transportation industry.

Juneau operations are scheduled to begin in 2009, after Coast Guard approval, with plans to operate two wingships for scheduled passenger service and one additional craft for dedicated tourism flightseeing service around the Juneau area. It is anticipated that in 2009, a larger WIG craft will be available from the manufacturer, which can facilitate market expansion. Initial use of this larger craft is anticipated to be the Anchorage to Kenai/Homer market with additional craft serving the Juneau to Ketchikan circuit.

WIG Craft Sales

Working closely with leading US companies developing state-of-the-art Wing-in-Ground effect technologies, Pacific Seaflight is the primary wingship retail distributor for the American markets. We formed a strategic alliance with the manufacturer, the only manufacturer of Commercial Use WIG craft in the USA. We will operate the exclusive training center for all operators of every boat they produce. They have also granted us exclusive rights as a dealer within North America and abroad.

The most exciting news is the implementation of the manufacturing of our original design choice. This data is confidential until we make the announcement to the world of the design that will be built in the USA per the Jones Act. Pacific Seaflight has also won the contract to oversee the implementation of the first WIG Wingship Academy, training Wingship pilots around the world.
