Integrated Maritime Platforms

Ports, Security, Digital, Energy

We design and operate strategic ports and logistics nodes, layer in discreet security and digital intelligence, and align investment with diplomacy and green-energy growth.

What We Do

Six integrated service areas that transform strategic coastlines into engines of stability, prosperity, and regional influence.

Port Development & Operations

Strategic ports that unlock trade corridors

We plan, build, and operate port assets that unlock trade corridors across Somaliland's maritime zones—prioritizing Berbera, Saylac (Zeila), Lawyacado, and Mayda—so they become engines of stability and influence.

Scope:

Scope typically includes terminals, dredging, coastal surveillance stations, and civic upgrades (schools, clinics, markets) that anchor long-term community acceptance.

Key Deliverables:

  • Master planning, environmental & navigational studies
  • Terminal design & works supervision
  • Port operations setup (SOPs, staffing, training)
  • Community assets (clinic/school/market micro-projects)

Maritime Security (C4ISR), Civilian-Framed

Layered, low-profile protection for fragile coastlines

For fragile coastlines, we build layered, low-profile protection: advanced surveillance (long-range cameras, marine radars, ground/underwater sensors, FLIR), UAV patrol, smart barriers, and a central C4ISR room with AI-assisted analysis.

Scope:

Satellite–radar fusion, predictive risk tools—paired with QRF protocols and encrypted communications for comprehensive maritime domain awareness.

Key Deliverables:

  • Threat & gap assessment; rules of cooperation with state actors
  • Sensor mix design: cameras, marine/3D radars, seabed sensors, RF monitoring
  • UAV grid with command-center integration
  • C4ISR deployment (multi-screen ops, analytics, alerting)

Add-ons:

  • +Cybersecurity operations for port OT/IT (ISO/IEC 27001 pathway)

Digital & Smart Ports

Digital infrastructure from day one

We deploy digital infrastructure from day one: hybrid land–air–sea radars, 3D maritime scanning, drone tracking, big-data analytics, and AI for berth scheduling, automated queuing, and predictive forecasting.

Scope:

Secured by encrypted networks and RF-spectrum monitoring via a Maritime Digital Command Center. We recommend ring-fencing ~10% of capex for digital stack.

Key Deliverables:

  • Digital architecture & cybersecurity baseline
  • Smart-port apps: berth planning, queue automation, anomaly detection
  • Command center buildout (NOC/SOC hybrid)
  • Encrypted networks & RF-spectrum monitoring

Diplomacy & Regional Integration

Dual-track model: civilian development paired with soft diplomacy

We work under a dual-track model—civilian development paired with soft diplomacy—aligning port delivery with maritime cooperation treaties, security–diplomacy convergence, trade platforms, and AU/Arab League engagement.

Scope:

Enabling legitimacy and continuity across political shifts while securing access to state cooperation and coordinated security cover.

Key Deliverables:

  • Maritime cooperation treaty frameworks
  • Security–diplomacy convergence protocols
  • Trade platform development
  • AU/Arab League engagement strategies

Investment Partnerships & LaaS

Logistics-as-a-Service in underserved regions

We structure Logistics-as-a-Service in underserved regions, co-invest with governments/sovereign funds, and position projects for blue-economy and green-finance attraction.

Scope:

Creating sustainable financing models that align with ESG principles and attract international development capital.

Key Deliverables:

  • Concession & O&M models, SPVs
  • Blended finance and ESG reporting baselines
  • Co-investment structuring with sovereign funds
  • Blue-economy positioning strategies

Green Hydrogen & Blue-Economy Corridors

Ports as clean-industry gateways

We align port build-out with renewable-energy zones and green hydrogen feasibility across Somaliland's maritime domain, turning ports into clean-industry gateways.

Scope:

Integrating renewable energy infrastructure with port development to create sustainable maritime-industrial ecosystems.

Key Deliverables:

  • Renewable energy zone alignment studies
  • Green hydrogen feasibility assessments
  • Clean-industry gateway development
  • Blue-economy corridor planning

Service FAQs

Common questions about our integrated maritime platform approach.

How do you maintain a civilian identity while securing assets?

By embedding discreet, standards-based security within a professional civil framework and working through vetted local partners and state channels.

What portion of budgets should go to digital?

We recommend ~10% of initial capex for digital infrastructure and command capabilities to ensure comprehensive smart-port functionality.

Do you support OT/IT cybersecurity?

Yes—dedicated units and ISO/IEC 27001 alignment for comprehensive operational technology and information technology security.
