Inhloso

U-Appie nendodana u-Klaas Kant babefuna ukwenza umshini wokucwecwa izimfanzi zaseNorth Sea onomkhiqizo olingana noma ongaphezu kwalokho ukuxebula ngezandla zomuntu..

Njengamanje, izimfanzi eziningi zaseNorth Sea zicwecwa ngesandla eMorocco. Umshini wokucwecwa, phakathi kwezinye izinto, ungasiza ekwenzeni ukuthutha kanye nokwengezwa kwezivimbelakuvunda kungadingeki.

Indlela yokwenza

Onjiniyela u-Appie nohlangothi lwendodana basebenze 13 ngonyaka kudivayisi. Unyaka nonyaka, i-prototype emva kwe-prototype ilandelwa.

Kodwa imishini ayizange ixebuke njengezandla zomuntu. “Isivuno sokucwecwa ngesandla sizungeze 32 iphesenti. Lokho kwemishini njalo eguquguqukayo emhlabeni 27 iphesenti.", kusho uKlaas Kant. Ngekhilo lesisindo esihlutshiwe, ngaphezu kwengxenye yekhilogremu yezimfanzi ezingahlutshiwe zadingeka.

UKlaas Kant uqhamuke neqhinga lokukhipha izimfanzi ejazini lakhe 1994. “Ngokuphazima kweso ngaba nayo: izimfanzi kumele zikhanywe ejazini layo, kuzwakala kulula, kodwa kunjalo neziqeshana zamaphepha futhi kwadingeka othile eze nazo ngesinye isikhathi”.

Umphumela

Nokho, ukutholakala kwakhe akuzange kulethe impumelelo ngokushesha. Ngoba amadivaysi abiza kakhulu awakaze azuze imbuyiselo oyifunayo; kwakungekho lutho olungazuza. Ku- 2001 waze waqothuka. Ngenkathi uKlaas eyosebenza kwenye indawo, Ubaba u-Appie waqhubeka esebenza emshinini. Ngokuphazima kweso wayesekhona: umshini osebenza kahle nxazonke 32 iphesenti kanye nokusetshenziswa kwamanzi okuphansi. Umkhawulo womlingo ufinyelelwe.

Messrs Kant, abanamalungelo obunikazi emshinini wabo, ukuletha amathuluzi enkampanini ye-shrimp peel kuphela i-Heiploeg.

Izifundo

Klaas Kant: kubalulekile ukuthi siphumelele, Kufanele uhlanye kancane ngalokho.”.
