// The Market — Numbers That Demand a Solution
The World's Most Critical Shipping Lanes
Are Under Active Threat.
The Strait of Hormuz — closed since February 2026. The Red Sea — 70% below normal traffic. Global piracy at a 5-year high. $2 billion in cargo moves through these waters every single day. The industry has been waiting for a solution that doesn't require a navy contract, a shipyard integration, or a procurement cycle measured in years.
SETEC Sphere is that solution. Commercial-first. Deployable in 30 minutes. Starting at $25,000.
