Introduction / History
We are Marine Drone Technology, evolving towards the global stage.
About Us
Marine Drone Tech Co., Ltd. started as a maritime drone solution company that solves the last mile at sea.
Existing port and ship logistics suffer from structural limitations such as high labor costs, safety concerns, and limited accessibility.

We are transforming this into an unmanned, contactless maritime delivery platform, setting a new standard for maritime logistics.

Our self-developed drones are equipped with maritime-specific flight controllers (FCs), automatic vessel recognition and landing technology, real-time communication, and video transmission modules. We have also established an operational control center utilizing AI-based route optimization and swarm navigation technology, ensuring high stability and operational efficiency even in complex maritime environments.

To date, we have over 600 actual deliveries in major domestic ports (including Busan, Yeosu, and Seosan). We have commercialized our fish school detection maritime drone business in collaboration with Sajo Industries and Shilla Trading, and are rapidly expanding into the global maritime industry market by signing contracts with shipping companies in the Philippines and Taiwan.

Marine Drone Technology is growing beyond simple hardware supply into a full-stack maritime drone platform company encompassing drone manufacturing, AI-based control, predictive maintenance, and operational data analysis.
