About SPAERA

Driven by the urgent need for clean shipping, Spaera was formed to deliver a scalable, zero-emission solution for the maritime industry. We believe net-zero isn't just achievable, but the most cost-effective path forward when using the latest innovations in maritime, and adjacent industries. By harnessing the power of efficient design and wind energy, we're aiming to revolutionise marine logistics. Our advantage? A fresh perspective. We're a diverse team of experts in fluid dynamics, systems integration, logistics, strategy, and start-ups, united by the mission to lessen humanity's footprint on Earth. We're here to demonstrate the transformative power of rethinking maritime logistics from the ground up.
