Valmie Resources Inc. (VMRI) has announced its joint venture partner, AeroLift eXpress, has been invited to Brazil to meet with the president of a contracting company regarding unmanned offshore transport. The contractor supports major providers throughout Latin America and has shown interest in adding AeroLift to its portfolio.
“We are enthusiastic about introducing our military grade vehicles and systems to this company at our upcoming presentation in Rio de Janeiro,” said James Stafford, AeroLift eXpress CEO and founder. “This is one of several companies that have demonstrated interest in collaborating with AeroLift to support offshore deliveries and to provide other unmanned aerial services.”
“This opportunity arose from meetings that took place during the debut of AeroLift at the Offshore Technology Conference in Houston,” said Gerald Hammack, president and CEO of Valmie Resources. “Judging from the response to AeroLift’s technological breakthrough, we expect accelerated growth of this company that is such a good fit in an industry that welcomes cost savings and inventive solutions.”
Operated by former U.S. military pilots, AeroLift’s economical transport platform is a practical alternative over high priced helicopter or marine delivery. Stafford says, “Aerolift’s drone technology can successfully operate in any conditions where a helicopter can fly, at a fraction of the cost and with no risk to human life.”
AeroLift eXpress has the capability to deliver a sizeable payload of up to 14 pounds within an operating radius of 250 miles, with plans to increase the payload size to as much as 80 pounds in subsequent development phases.
