Alewijnse celebrates new step in superyacht technology

A new chapter

Alewijnse is entering an exciting new phase following its integration with the Oceanco Group (Ink.Fish Keel B.V.), whose new owner is Gabe Newell – founder of Valve Corporation and visionary behind Inkfish, a private initiative for scientific ocean research. This strategic partnership offers endless opportunities for innovation, smarter tools, and a sharp focus on what truly matters: people.

That focus aligns perfectly with our mission: connecting people and technology. Together with our clients and exclusive partners, we make the impossible possible every day on board complex vessels, where engineering and automation play an increasingly prominent role.

At a time when demand for complex superyachts is rapidly growing, strategic collaborations are essential. Joining forces with the Oceanco Group is therefore a logical step at exactly the right moment. It allows us to innovate faster and develop smart solutions that drive the entire maritime sector forward.

And although Alewijnse is now a sister company of Oceanco, we continue to provide our technology and automation solutions to the entire maritime industry. All maritime sectors will benefit from the significant wave of innovation that lies ahead.
