We aim to integrate all maritime communications to promote the Digital Transformation of the ocean, thereby ensuring Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA). This will reduce vessel accidents, improve maritime traffic efficiency and promote maritime content services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We offer a special communication infrastructure that connects VDES (the latest VHF digital communication system) with the internet network. This infrastructure facilitates digital communication between large and small vessels and between small vessels and ports.
This infrastructure facilitates digital communication between large vessels and small vessels, and between small vessels and ports. This will prevent accidents caused by human errors, often in an analog environment, and create a safer and more efficient maritime business environment.
The expansion of our unique communication infrastructure will lay the foundation for fostering maritime content services, contributing to digital transformation in the maritime industry, which has been challenging to achieve.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We promote maritime Digital Transformation and create a maritime environment where all vessels and ports are connected by deploying our CoastaLink services in the following three areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u30001) “LAND” provides Internet-capable VDES communication equipment to port facilities, etc., to enable VDES communication between ports and coastal vessels.
\u30002) “AIR” offers APIs allowing users to access data servers connected to VDES and internet communication environments.
\u30003) “OCEAN” provides VDES communication equipment (transponder) rental service to small and medium vessels without equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition, we also develop software for maritime communications using the above-mentioned “AIR” and provide consulting services related to maritime communications.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The market size in 2040 is estimated at 1.9 billion USD in Japan and 24.1 billion USD worldwide
(1 USD = 146 JPY).
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We are the only company that owns a system connecting IP networks to VDES communication equipment, which is required for ocean-going vessels. We recognize that no other companies share our competitive domain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We have developed both software and hardware and patented the system.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u3010Japanese Domestic Market\u3011
The company will deploy the “CoastaLink” service and, at the same time, provide consulting services related to VDES communications to public institutions (in progress). Prior to the IPO, the company plans to increase its corporate value by acquiring SaaS providers and other companies.
\u3010International Market\u3011
We will begin offering CoastaLink services to port authorities in Southeast Asia, tailored to their specific needs. Our plan is to expand to the waters surrounding the world’s most important shipping routes, such as Suez, Malacca, and Bosporus, as we see them as a significant market.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
