A Platform for Sustainability & Security
Our autonomous maritime system is being developed to solve two of the ocean's greatest challenges: sustainable resource management and effective domain awareness.
Sustainable Harvesting
​
We are building a full-stack technology platform for automated, precision harvesting. This enables safer, more profitable fishing while actively working to reduce emissions and minimise bycatch, protecting the marine ecosystem for future generations.
​
This approach secures our food chain by making commercial fishing environmentally and economically sustainable.

Maritime Security
​
While conducting operations, our fleet provides persistent EEZ surveillance. This force multiplying capability delivers critical maritime awareness, enhancing national sovereignty and detecting illegal activities like IUU fishing at a fraction of traditional costs.
​
Our platform is a strategic asset, providing nations with the tools to monitor and protect their maritime resources independently.
​
​


So what exactly is Maidenfleet?
Maidenfleet is redefining commercial fishing with a new class of unmanned vessels, moving beyond today’s ageing fleets toward a sustainable future.
​
Conventional methods like trawling are costly, labour-heavy, and environmentally damaging. Our MK1 Harvest System solves these challenges by removing the need for crew, automating the catch process, and delivering unmatched efficiency.
By cutting costs, improving catch precision, and unlocking new margins, Maidenfleet is positioning itself at the forefront of a multi-billion-dollar industry ready for transformation.
