About us
We are on a mission to create a positive impact on the Yacht Design, Naval Architecture, and Ocean Engineering industries, as well as broader society.
The Ocean
Our common good
While human flourishing may also be related to space exploration and colonization, we strongly believe our future well-being depends primarily on the ocean.
Today, the ocean provides food and supports the livelihoods of over 3 billion people. It plays a critical role in combating climate challenges and is a source of significant cultural, aesthetic, and recreational values, as well as biological, mineral, and energy resources. Yet, approximately 80% of the ocean floor remains unexplored, and an estimated one million species are still waiting to be discovered.
Moreover, seaborne trade accounts for 80% of world trade. Ensuring good order at sea, safeguarding maritime routes, protecting sea-based resources and infrastructure, promoting freedom of navigation, and fostering international cooperation and consensus are all crucial elements for human development and prosperity.
