The world's first long-haul bulk water is now close to reality
New Zealand's alexanderswaters.com have been bottling small bottles of spring water for 119 years. This high carbon foot-print model is now an unacceptable method of delivering fresh water to consumers. New Zealand is blessed to have a huge surplus of very pure water.In fact, 97% of the countries' rain water is unused, and drains into the sea.
Alexanders has been based in Christchurch since 1980 - a city with a population of 370,000 people. The city is positioned over a number of very, very pure aquifiers. The total parts per million of total solids (PPM) in this water is only 70.
Richard Macdonald, president of alexanderswaters.com told Singapore's Water Week that all the New Zealand consents are in place to use bulk ships to export water from the westcoast of South Island.
This water runs off 3500m high mountains into the sea and has less than 10 PPM of total solids. "Now is the best window in the cycle of global shipping, to obtain competitive shipping rates" says Macdonald.
alexanderswaters.com were at Singapore International Water Week to network with potential partners. "We can already deliver 24,000 flexible tanks of water in FCL's to clients." says Macdonald. A typical client is a hotel,high end apartment block, food processor and of course, water bottlers.
"All technical barriers have been overcome" says Macdonald.
alexanderswaters.com see bulk water as part of the mix for countries whom are very short of quality potable water.
