"Since 2013, over 30.000 containers have ended up in the ocean from ships, with around 30% of them carrying hazardous goods”

About CORES

Since 2013, more than 30.000 shipping containers have been lost at sea — many containing hazardous materials.

This leads to environmental damage, safety risks, and major financial losses.

We believe and know this problem can be solved.

What we do

CORES is a Danish-based initiative developing an infrastructure solution that makes lost containers trackable and recoverable.

By combining floating technology with real-time tracking, our system helps build the infrastructure needed to locate and retrieve containers after falling into the water.

How it works

When a container falls into the water:
– Inflatable flotation modules are deployed automatically
– The container is kept afloat
– Tracking activates instantly
– Location is transmitted in real time
– Recovery infrastructure is activated immediately

The entire process is fully automated, enabling fast and efficient recovery

Where we are now

Prototype developed
Patent secured in selected regions and countries
Currently seeking industrial partners

Why it matters

Lost containers are not just a logistical issue — they pose a real threat to marine environments and global shipping safety.

Preventing container loss is not always possible.
But failing to recover them doesn’t have to be.

Our vision

We believe our innovations can solve complex problems.

Our goal is to create a more responsible and sustainable maritime industry — where containers no longer disappear.
