About SolarisTech

Bridging regulation and real-world operations.

SolarisTech was founded to close the gap between regulatory complexity and what actually happens at sea, serving shipowners, flag states, charterers and offshore operators with independent, intelligence-led compliance.

Our story

Built on decades of frontline expertise in audits, inspections and newbuilding oversight, SolarisTech combines deep maritime know-how with modern intelligence. Our proprietary platform, Nautilux, brings clarity to compliance management, while SwiftAction delivers AI-enhanced training that turns insight into action.

The firm is led by President & CEO Thomas Blenk, with senior roles at ABS and a top-three global flag-state registry. Every output is verified by reviewers who bring 20+ years of experience in audits, inspections and newbuilding, under an ISO 9001 certified quality management system.
