A Thousand Ships. A Future for All.

Supporting climate innovation, circular economy solutions, and early groundwork for resilient ocean vessels — operated transparently under iMerv Digital Pte Ltd.

Haily Thousand Ships Animated

A Private Support Framework for Climate Innovation

The Thousand Ships vision is simple but urgent:

“When seas rise and systems fail, we want resilient floating ecosystems — powered by circular energy — that can protect families, communities, and critical functions.”

This page explains how a small circle of trusted individuals may privately support the early groundwork behind that vision through iMerv Digital Pte Ltd (“iMerv”).

It is meant only for people I have already spoken with directly.
It is not a public invitation to invest.

This page is not an offer of shares or securities. It is an option for people who already know and trust me to support the mission work, not to “buy into” a company at this stage.

1. Who This Page Is For

If you’re reading this, you are most likely:

someone I’ve already met,

someone who knows my track record and values,

and someone who has personally asked:

“How can I support your Thousand Ships vision in a responsible way?”

This page is here so that our private understanding is written down clearly:

  • what you are supporting,

  • how iMerv organises that support,

  • what it is, and just as importantly, what it is not.

2. The Vision, in Plain Language

Haily Markets Partners Ecosystem

The Thousand Ships concept is not about fantasy megaprojects.

It is about practical climate resilience:

Vessels and floating platforms that can

  • handle waste safely (e.g. pyrolysis and circular systems),
  • generate green electricity,
  • support food, water and basic life needs,
  • and act as safe, self-sufficient nodes when land systems are disrupted.

Today, this work is still in the pre-commercial, pre-product stage.

We are focused on:

  • studies, design, and modelling
  • R&D and expert consultations
  • ecosystem-building and education
  • structured thinking around governance and deployment

This is where iMerv comes in.

 

3. Why Support Is Structured Through iMerv Digital

At this stage, some related entities (like Haily) are still working through:

  • corporate governance,

  • financial reporting, and

  • formal fundraising structures.

Until those are fully clean and transparent, it would not be fair or responsible to route any form of participation through them.

iMerv Digital Pte Ltd is the vehicle I personally manage and oversee.
Using iMerv allows us to:

  • maintain clear, auditable records of support received,

  • impose use-of-funds discipline aligned with the Thousand Ships vision,

  • keep arrangements private and invitation-only,

  • avoid any suggestion of “public fundraising” or “public investment offers”.

This is not a MAS-regulated public offer.
It is a private framework for people who already know and trust me.

 

4. Ways We May Work Together (Private Framework)

Depending on your profile, understanding, and comfort level, we may agree on one or more of the following, always in private, one-to-one:

A. Voluntary Mission Support

You may choose to provide voluntary financial support for:

  • climate innovation research and design,

  • vessel and system concept work,

  • ecosystem-building and education,

  • operational backbone to keep the work moving.

This is not an investment.
It is support for mission work, grounded in trust and transparency.

B. Strategic & In-Kind Collaboration

You may also support by contributing:

  • technical expertise (engineering, maritime, climate, legal, policy),

  • networks and introductions,

  • design, communications, and storytelling,

  • pilot sites, testbeds or proof-of-concept opportunities.

These can be formalised through consulting, collaboration, or advisory arrangements under iMerv.

C. Private SAFE-Style Agreements (By Invitation Only)

For a small number of early supporters who:

  • understand the risks,

  • are comfortable with long time horizons, and

  • wish to express future-oriented participation,

iMerv may – on a case-by-case, fully private basis – use a SAFE-style agreement.

In simple terms:

  • It does not give you equity now.

  • It does not guarantee that equity will ever be issued.

  • It is non-transferable and not marketed to the public.

  • It depends on a future corporate event that may or may not happen.

  • It carries real risk, including total loss.

These agreements exist only between iMerv and specific individuals who have been privately invited and fully briefed. They are not displayed, advertised, or promoted publicly.

5. What Your Support Enables

Haily Technology Banner

Regardless of form, support received through iMerv is directed toward:

Climate Innovation & R&D

  • low-temperature pyrolysis and circular waste-to-energy pathways

  • integrated food–water–energy–waste system thinking

Vessel & Platform Conceptualisation

  • design studies and technical consultations

  • modelling, feasibility and deployment scenarios

 

Outreach & Ecosystem Work

  • writing, speaking, workshops, and education

  • engagement with NGOs, institutions, and partners

Governance & Operational Backbone

  • legal & structural thinking so future entities are cleaner and stronger

  • basic operations so the vision does not stall

Every dollar is meant to buy clarity, readiness, and momentum — so that when the world is ready to move, we already have thinking, designs, and partners in place.

6. Transparency & Stewardship

Haily Governance and Readiness

Because these arrangements are built on trust, stewardship matters.

Subject to confidentiality and practicality, iMerv will:

keep internal records of all support received and how it is used,

provide supporters with periodic high-level updates on progress and milestones,

clarify, upon reasonable request, the general categories of expenditure.

These updates are informational, not promotional.
They do not include projections, pitches, or “IR decks”.

Transparency practices

Haily Sentosa Seaview

We will adopt the following practices:

Periodic supporters’ update (e.g. quarterly email or PDF) summarising:

  • What work was done

  • Key milestones / learning

  • High-level use of funds (no personal data of supporters shared)

Upon request (for significant supporters), we can provide:

  • A simple breakdown of how their contributions were deployed

  • Clarification on project priorities and next steps

 

This is not the same as a listed-company annual report — but it is a conscious effort to honour your trust with clarity and accountability.
