<h2>What we're building</h2> <p>The marine industry supports recreation, global commerce, and national defense. And yet it runs on technology that hasn't meaningfully changed in fifty years.

Now we're extending our platform to commercial applications, starting with tugs, ferries, and defense, with years worth of signed contracts and a pipeline that spans every vessel type on the water.</p> <p>The technology is proven, the momentum is building, and the opportunity is enormous.
