Chad Verret and his team will carry the technology forward, with a focus on predictive maintenance and machinery monitoring across the offshore, LNG, and commercial marine sectors.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why Verret Marine<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Chad spent four decades operating in the segments where SailPlan was designed to perform. Fourteen years at Harvey Gulf International Marine as Executive Vice President. President of Q-LNG Transport. Former Chairman of the Society for Gas as a Marine Fuel. He drove the Harvey Deep-Sea \u2014 the first U.S.-flag LNG-fueled MPSV \u2014 and the Q-LNG 4000, the first U.S. offshore LNG bunkering articulated tug and barge.<\/p>\n<p>When we built SailPlan, we built it for operators who actually run vessels. Chad is one of them. He understands what data is worth collecting, what a chief engineer will and won\u2019t act on, and where unplanned downtime really costs money. That\u2019s the right home for the technology.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s Next for the Platform<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Under Verret Marine ownership, SailPlan\u2019s high-frequency machinery and operational data capture will be applied to predictive maintenance and machinery monitoring use cases. Existing deployments will continue without interruption during the transition.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A Note from the Founder<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Building SailPlan was the work of years, and shipping it to fleet-wide deployment with a major anchor customer was the proudest stretch of my career. The circumstances that led to this transaction weren\u2019t the ones we planned for, but the outcome \u2014 handing the technology to someone with Chad\u2019s depth \u2014 is the right one. I\u2019m grateful to the investors, the team, and the operators who put SailPlan on their vessels and gave it a chance to prove itself.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m now focused full-time on Boatwork, the marine services marketplace I\u2019ve been&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dredgewire.com\/sailplan-technology-acquired-by-verret-marine\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SailPlan Technology Acquired by Verret Marine https:\/\/dredgewire.com\/sailplan-technology-acquired-by-verret-marine\/ Publish Date: 2026-06-01 08:07:00 Source Domain: dredgewire.com Today&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":260944,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/dredgewire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/verret-marine.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-260943","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/260943"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=260943"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/260943\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":260945,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/260943\/revisions\/260945"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/260944"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=260943"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=260943"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=260943"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
