Позднее министр экономического развития и торговли Айварас Абромавичус назвал компанию, которая выразила заинтересованность проектом: ей стала британская управляющая структура Сrown Agents.

Crown Agents originated as a body conducting financial transactions for British colonies. Agents were first appointed in 1749 to transfer and account for grants made to colonies from the British Treasury.[15] These representatives were known unofficially as 'crown agents' from at least 1758, and were accountable to colonial governments, though selected on the recommendation of the British government.[16] A single body was created in 1833, when the crown agents' business was consolidated under two Joint Agents General for Crown Colonies with an Office of several staff.[17] In 1861, the Office was renamed Crown Agents for the Colonies.[18] Crown Agents' responsibilities on behalf of colonial governments included accounting for Treasury grants, purchasing supplies, recruiting certain staff and raising capital on the markets. Crown Agents also oversaw specific colonial projects, such as certain postage stamp issues and some infrastructure construction.[19] As decolonisation accelerated, the Office was renamed Crown Agents for Oversea Governments and Administrations in 1954, and the rules were changed to allow it to take on projects for independent states.[20] Crown Agents expanded its activities to include more international development projects and investment management. Its anomalous status as an autonomous body with close links to government came into question, and in 1979 Crown Agents was brought under government control as a statutory corporation. From 1987, shifting attitudes to state ownership of business and changes in British international development strategy led the government to support full privatisation of Crown Agents. It became a private company in 1997, ending its formal ties to the British government.[21]
