RemoraDocks Becomes Independent to Lead Digital Circularity in the Maritime Sector

UTRECHT, NL – RemoraDocks is pleased to announce its official transition into a fully independent private limited company (BV), following a successful spin-off from Mantis Marine. This strategic decoupling allows both entities to sharpen their focus on their respective missions within the circular maritime economy.

RemoraDocks: Digital Infrastructure for Maritime Circularity

As an independent company, RemoraDocks is focused on developing digital tools and marketplace solutions for shipowners, offshore contractors, equipment suppliers and other maritime organizations.

These solutions are designed to improve how companies identify, manage, buy and sell used marine and offshore equipment. Better access to equipment data can help organizations extend asset lifecycles, recover value from surplus equipment and reduce unnecessary new production.

RemoraDocks has already tested parts of its technology with major offshore contractors. The platform continues to evolve based on feedback from users and industry partners.

“This evolution marks a significant milestone for both companies. While Mantis Marine continues to lead the physical reuse of equipment, RemoraDocks will provide the digital infrastructure needed to make circularity more scalable and transparent across the maritime supply chain.”

Ronan Oostveen, Director of Operations and co-owner at RemoraDocks

Mantis Marine: Continuing Equipment Reuse

Mantis Marine will continue operating as a specialist service provider for used offshore and marine equipment.

The company will maintain its focus on the delivery and trading of used cranes, winches, vessels, barges and other heavy maritime equipment. By supporting equipment reuse and refurbishment, Mantis Marine offers asset owners and buyers a sustainable and cost-effective alternative to new production. Reusing existing equipment can also help buyers avoid the long lead times commonly associated with newly manufactured heavy machinery.

“The separation ensures that both companies can better serve their specific markets while remaining united in their commitment to a more sustainable and circular maritime future.”

Pieter Korterink, Managing Director at Mantis Marine

What This Means for the Maritime Sector

The maritime and offshore industries hold significant quantities of equipment that may no longer be required by one organization but still has operational value elsewhere. However, limited asset visibility, incomplete documentation and fragmented sales processes can make it difficult to reuse this equipment effectively.

RemoraDocks aims to address these challenges through digital solutions that make equipment easier to discover, evaluate and transfer between organizations. Mantis Marine will continue supporting the practical and commercial side of equipment reuse.

Together, these complementary areas of expertise demonstrate how digital technology and practical industry experience can help extend equipment lifecycles.

Looking Ahead

As an independent company, RemoraDocks will continue developing its platform with input from shipowners, offshore contractors, equipment suppliers and buyers.

The objective is straightforward: make it easier for the maritime industry to find new applications for existing equipment and recover value from assets that might otherwise remain unused.
