About Us

Who We Are

Founded in 2010, OceanAlpha is China’s first high-tech enterprise dedicated to the R&D, production, and sales of unmanned surface vessels (USVs).

Over the past decade, we have grown into one of the very few companies globally capable of providing a full range of USV products and industry-specific solutions. Our solutions are currently applied in domains such as inland water survey, marine survey, maritime safety, water rescue, firefighting, and more.

To date, our unmanned vessels have been deployed in over 60 countries and regions, serving 600+ customers across various sectors.

Collectively, they have completed missions exceeding one million service kilometers, with more than 4,000 USVs and water rescue robots successfully delivered.

Our Vision & Mission

Our journey began with a clear vision: Inspiring maritime autonomy. To advance maritime autonomy and support safer, smarter, and more efficient operations on water. 

Today, we take pride in being part of an evolving industry — one where innovation, collaboration, and real-world impact drive progress. 

We see ourselves not just as a technology provider, but as a trusted partner working alongside our customers and peers to shape the future of marine autonomy.

Growing Together​​

At OceanAlpha, we understand that the future of maritime autonomy is not something any single company can achieve alone. It takes collaboration across industries, trust with customers, and continuous learning from real-world challenges.
