Ali’i Kai
The Story Behind the Name:
There are three elements directly associated with her name, Ali’i Kai. First relates to the business of Shark Scrapper LLC as a scrap metal and electronics recycling company. Aluminum is a common metal we deal with and is frequently referred to as “Ali” because the complete word has different pronunciations around the world. She has the beauty, strength, and flexibility that make aluminum so important to our modern world. The second element is our love of the oceans and our respect to the Hawaiian culture we came to love when we lived there. “Kai” means ocean/sea in Hawaiian. Finally, when we saw her swim away after being tagged, we were struck by her majesty. Ali’i in Hawaiian refers to a chef or chiefess.
Ali’i Kai embodies the majesty, the beauty, and the strength of this wonderful creature of the sea.
