About Shift Coastal Technologies
Shift Coastal Technologies is a Nanaimo autonomous-maritime systems integrator that combines platforms, sensing or effecting payloads, onboard compute, communications and command infrastructure into field-deployable systems.
Operating context
Shift designs, builds, integrates, deploys and sustains autonomous maritime systems from Nanaimo, joining surface platforms, sensor payloads, communications and command-and-control. OceanSled products can be bought individually or with CiMS. The civilian-specification Explorer sheet lists a 454 kg payload, six-knot maximum speed and 0–40 °C operation; these limits are specific to Explorer. Coast Guard documentation establishes an earlier Haida Gwaii vessel in use, while the 2026 AS-188 Ranger contract is a separate testing engagement.
