SolveForce Ship-to-Shore Networks, Port OT Security, and Evidence-Backed Compliance
Maritime operations span blue-water vessels, coastal fleets, ports/terminals, and offshore platforms. SolveForce engineers telecom-grade ship-to-shore connectivity, port OT/ICS segmentation, multi-cloud data platforms, and immutable evidence—so fleets, terminals, and authorities operate safely, efficiently, and audibly from sea to berth.

🛣️ Quote Process for Maritime (transparent, port-to-port)
- Scope & Intake (Day 0–3) — fleet profile, routes/port calls, terminal/berth footprint, IT/OT inventory, compliance scope.
- Discovery & Supplier Graph (Day 3–10) — satellite footprints, coastal 5G/LTE, port fiber/IX adjacency, TOS/PCS/API catalogs.
- Design-to-Quote (Day 7–14) — ship-to-shore + port OT architecture, BoM, SLO tables, evidence plan, compliance overlays.
- Review & Refine (Day 14–20) — Good/Better/Best options, resilience vs cost, handover testing plan, phased rollout.
- Finalize & Order (Day 20+) — antenna/terminal installs, SIMs/cross-connects, TOS/PCS turn-ups; acceptance sign-off & immutable bundle.
