Maintenance-native vessels.
Today, lifetime maintenance can approach the cost of building the ship. We think that's fundamentally broken. We use everything we learn from software and sensors to build vessels designed — from the keel up — to be cheaper and easier to maintain.
Richmond, CA · MARAD-backed visionChanging the battery in a car vs. a smartphone.
One was designed to be serviced. One wasn't. Most ships are the smartphone. We want to build the car — vessels where sensing, diagnostics, and maintenance workflows are part of the architecture from the first drawing.
Embedded sensing
Diagnostics and telemetry built into the vessel architecture from day one — not bolted on after launch.
Modular design
Subsystems designed to be accessed, swapped, and upgraded — so repair touches only the affected part.
Maintenance-first
Every choice optimized for lifetime cost, not just construction cost. Service is a design constraint, not an afterthought.
The world's first maintenance-native shipyard.
We'll pursue a MARAD Small Shipyard Grant for a Bay-area facility and build maintenance-native support vessels for the U.S. Coast Guard and Navy — combining the data moat with a physical maintenance footprint. We're effectively making a new market.
We'd like to show you the data.
Already shipping, already paid, already live in San Francisco Bay. Book 30 minutes and we'll walk you through the live fleet.
