Greater awareness, safer oceans
Our mission is to connect every vessel on the water to create a comprehensive, real-time picture of our oceans, unlocking critical data insights that underpin a prosperous global maritime ecosystem.
The world’s oceans - vital arteries of global commerce - remain largely invisible in real time. This creates major challenges for safety, security, and environmental oversight.
Our founder, Neil Sobin, saw that while AI was reshaping industries on land, the ocean remained overlooked, lacking the real-time sensing infrastructure modern systems depend on. With a background in mapping, edge data, and AI, he saw a path forward: turn ordinary vessels into intelligent nodes in a global maritime network.
Quartermaster now combines onboard sensors, real-time communication, and AI-powered analysis to bring visibility to the surface of the sea, empowering coast guards, navies, insurers, and researchers with the data they need.
