Thirty years ago, Bob Steber, managing director at Ginnacle Import - Export Pte Ltd., initiated a project in Burma that recovered 2,000 teak logs and 500 rosewood logs from the depths of the Rangoon River. With new equipment, Steber believes that he can now undertake an even more successful recovery than the original project, and is even in conversation with the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) about the log-recovery process being provided with FSC certification, as well as a superyacht designer who wishes to include the recovered produce in his designs.
