TransTech Marine is a consultancy formed in 1979 to assist government entities, ship owners, ship builders and investors to research, design, finance and operate profitable maritime enterprises of all types. Since shipping is the collective word for many different businesses sharing a common ocean, opportunities to derive exciting returns from stratology abound. The end product of TransTech’s work is typically a bankable strategic business plan on which ship design, construction, acquisition, finance, deployment and management decisions are based.

Ships are long-lived, capital-intensive assets. Well-designed, properly financed and correctly deployed and managed, they can operate profitably for many decades. Poorly conceived or acquired at the wrong time or with the wrong capital structure, they can go straight from the building yard to the breakers.
