We help the maritime industry cut emissions and fuel costs with AI-powered aerodynamic retrofits. 

Shaping the future of

low-carbon shipping


OUR STORY



Bluenose was founded at the intersection of advanced engineering and decarbonisation, with a vision to reduce maritime emissions by rethinking the aerodynamics of ships.

Leveraging novel materials, AI-driven design, and deep industry expertise, we develop custom aerodynamic retrofits that cut fuel costs, lower emissions, and ensure regulatory compliance, without disrupting operations.

With backing from world-class partners and a growing ecosystem, we are building solutions that deliver measurable impact for shipowners—and the planet.

OUR IMPACT


Up to 5%

Fuel efficiency increase


2 years payback

Or less depending on operations


3 continents

Working alongside stakeholders in Asia, Europe & Africa


Our Founders

Our founders met at PSL Research University in Paris, and bonded over a shared passion for driving positive change with innovative engineering design.

Their expertise and vision has been recognised by the Terra Carta Design Lab, Undaunted’s The Greenhouse Accelerator, and WILCO.
