Are you doing this out of generosity and the kindness of your heart on a cost sharing basis? Or are you charging? In which case you are into AOC charges and a whole level of other fees which will make operating a Chieftan seem cheap.

I'd go careful on private lease deals too. The occupants of the Belgrano have spent a lot of money getting counsel's opinion on those areas and know they will win any case that comes before the courts.

May seem odd, but for the sector you're describing I'd go BN2 Islander. Plenty around, good spares availability, simple to operate and a great short range load lifter.
