Access Changes Everything

Greenwater Marine Sciences Offshore (GMSO) is solving one of ocean science’s most urgent challenges: access to research vessels. Science can’t study what it can’t reach. Across the globe, researchers are blocked by limited vessel access—constraining discovery from pole to pole. GMSO’s scalable fleet offers a transformative solution. By building a globally distributed, mission-ready fleet, GMSO unlocks unparalleled access to the ocean, accelerating scientific breakthroughs and opening new opportunities for leadership and legacy in marine innovation.

We invite visionary partners to join us in making the ocean more accessible—for science, for the planet, and for the future. This is a $500M opportunity to build a fit-for-purpose fleet of 100+ research vessels delivering 2,500+ missions annually.

Case Studies

Shaping the Future of Ocean Mapping with Victor Vescovo

GMSO is designing a new generation of research vessels — purpose-built to shift the global standard for ocean science. In partnership with Victor Vescovo’s Caladan Oceanic and world-class architects at Espen Øino International, we’re leading the next wave of marine innovation.

Our deep-sea mapping fleet will feature:

  • <80’ hulls with EM124 full-ocean-depth multibeam sonar
  • Quasi-autonomous operations
  • Energy-optimized hulls
  • Enhanced remote control systems

Each vessel can map 1% of the ocean every year.

Innovation below the waterline. Impact above it.

Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute

When Science Has No Ship, It Stalls. WHOI’s groundbreaking carbon research expedition was grounded. No backup vessel. No affordable options.
One year lost. $300,000 overspent.

  • The cause? A critical shortage of fit-for-purpose oceanographic ships.
  • The solution? GMSO: A global fleet of affordable, capable vessels designed for modern science.

We don’t just fill a gap—GMSO makes ocean research possible.

Investing in GMSO means enabling science, unlocking demand, and capturing a global market primed for disruption.
