The CCIC is an Annual challenge for community college students to show the National Science Foundation, select Federal and State Lawmaker, and National Community College Association their ideas for changing the World. Electric Foiling Ferry tech is a real thing progressively gaining traction around the World right now, because the technology suite that allows it to happen, was never before so perfectly aligned.

This brief dials in on the subject of Electric Foiling Passenger Technology and how, like AI, computers, email, and motor vehicles revolutionized how the World does things. Enjoy!

Hatteras Sailing is the non profit maritime educational program chaired by PamliEcoConnect's CEO Jay Phillips. The Sailing Center in Buxton is an important possible node in the Passenger route and the Passenger Service in turn would benefit the Junior Sailing, Maritime Heritage and Educational Programs on site, and make for a very wonderful point of interest for Hatteras Island/Buxton Visitors coming in on the Ferry. The Sailing Center and future Maritime Training Facility are also really timely investment opportunities, but held by different entities. Making the facility part of PamliEcoConnect is not out of the question though.

From ground zero at the tip of Cape Hatteras in front of the Buxton Motel, Katie brings you our PamliEcoConnect concept. While our local and state government are responsive, it is usually due to growing outrage that something was not done sooner. We would love to skip the outrage stage and pitch in our hat for a little forethought. 20 plus homes were washed into the Atlantic this past off season and there is little barrier left between the Ocean and HWY 12, which is the connector for Ferry access to Ocracoke and the car ferrys to the mainland through Ocracoke. When, not if, this access is washed out, the current transportation methods will not be sufficient. The current connection routes from the mainland through Ocracoke, to Hatteras take a total of about 6 to 7 hours, in slow season. Getting a head start building high speed, smooth and cost effective passenger services is something that will be a blessing to the local communities and make visitor access to the most remote Islands of Hatteras and Ocracoke much more feasible.
