    How does this in any way contribute to a green transition?

      YES! Finally! A question that I know something about!

      Okay so the actual owner of this company (The greenlandic arm anyway) is Ittu Julius Konrad Karl Heinrich Lilliendahl (Yes that is one name, it’s Greenland that’s just how it is) who used to do event coordination stuff (And they’re going out of business because he fucking sucked at it) and runs a taxi cab company. The reason this is being sold as a green initiative is because that way you get certain benefits from the government.
      Their argument is twofold 1: They argue this isn’t that bad carbon wise because a lot of shipping containers are empty because of the Greenlandic trading imbalance so this actually makes sense and 2: It’s water you guys, that’s eco stuff
      The guy in the picture is a part owner (like 5% or something) who used to (I don’t know if he still does) work as an engineer/handyman/landlord for a company that rents out apartments, does mine engineering consulting and minor construction work called 60 degrees Greenland.
      If it gets accepted as a Green transition company it will be done because it’s not a fishing boat. Greenlandic corporations have tried selling mines as part of a green transition, it’s nuts and I hate it.
