RanMarine Technologies, BV (filed as RanMarine Technology B.V.) is a privately held Dutch marine-robotics and cleantech company incorporated on 12 April 2016, headquartered at Galileistraat 15, Rotterdam. It is venture- and grant-backed (Boundary Holding, PortXL, EIT Digital/Horizon 2020, European Innovation Council) and is not publicly listed: it withdrew a Nasdaq IPO registration in January 2025 and a further Form F-1 registration effective 6 July 2026. The group is a holding structure over operating subsidiaries RanMarine B.V. and RanMarine USA. Disclosed financials are small — revenue of roughly €0.65M in FY2023 and €0.71M for the twelve months ended 30 June 2024, with operating losses of about €2.6–3.1M; headcount has been reported at 19 (2024 filings) and around 33 by third-party trackers (2026).
The company designs and manufactures battery-electric Autonomous Surface Vessels (ASVs) that collect floating waste, biomass, algae and oil while logging water-quality data. Product lines include the WasteShark, MegaShark (launched August 2024), OilShark (developed with HEBO Maritiemservice), CyanoShark (harmful-algal-bloom treatment), the RanMarine Connect cloud data platform, and docking/accessory hardware. Target customers are ports, municipalities, marinas and port authorities; the company states it had shipped 110 WasteShark units as of 31 December 2024.
Litigation posture: this is an operating company, not an NPE. The database records one tracked case, all as plaintiff and zero as defendant — the opposite of the high-plaintiff/zero-defendant pattern typical of assertion entities. Notably, that single matter is docketed as a Commercial and Trade – Contract action rather than a patent claim, so the company shows no patent-assertion activity. Its patent footprint is minimal (one design patent, US D1035544, for a boat).
The tracked case is Eget Liber, Inc. et al. v. Clear Water Systems Limited et al., filed 1 December 2025 in New York Supreme Court, Onondaga County. RanMarine Technologies BV appears as a plaintiff alongside Eget Liber, Inc., Eget Liber CEO Jason Dean and RanMarine founder/CEO Richard Hardiman; defendants include Clear Water Systems Limited and Richard James Boyd. Eget Liber is the Syracuse, New York partner whose Staged Flow Treatment System is integrated into RanMarine's CyanoShark ASV, so the dispute sits in the company's algae-treatment collaboration rather than in patent enforcement. The case remains open.
