Maritime Imperial is the largest independent builder of civilian vessels in the Kingdom of Maltropia. Since the 1800s we have been producing the merchant vessels that fuel the Maltropian economy, a sea-going economy which has grown to become one of the most stable in the modern world. We build the tankers and the container ships used by such well-known firms as Maltropian Cargo International, the oil platforms used by Tallaght Allied Petroleum and the icebreakers that keep the country's busy sea-lanes open. Our subsidiary Tethys Mara, launched in 2009, works to provide only the highest quality of naval vessel for the modern fleet.
In short - we make boats.
Headquartered in the historic city of Esrium, we have a reputation for the quality shipwrighting that defined Maltropian vessels for the last four hundred years. This reputation has brought our products into demand throughout the world, and to meet it we operate numerous shipyards throughout Maltropia and are constantly looking for new sites throughout the world. A full list of our locations is available on this site.
The first shipyard of Maritime Imperial was set up on the quays of Esrium in 1807, where large deep-hulled wooden ships were built to ply Winter Bay and other Maltropian waterways. Within two decades, that single shipyard had grown to be the largest non-military facility of its kind in the entire kingdom. We were the first major shipwright in the nation to lay down a steel hull, in 1860, a practice which was soon emulated by Ardencross Naval Yards in the west. We have been successfully selling commercial vessels for over two hundred years, and we believe that speaks for itself.
Maritime Imperial offers a wide range of civilian and merchant vessels and, as we continue to release products, it is our long-term plan to provide ships for all situations. If none of those listed here satisfy your needs, we will occasionally take commissions, or modify existing designs to suit your unique requirements. Please note that modifications may necessarily increase the final price.
Tethys Mara, our naval wing, works with other industry leaders to bring military and support vessels that fill the niches other shipwrights simply can't. These ships can also be found in our catalogue, coloured orange/brown.
At no extra charge, you may request vessels to be repainted in a specified livery. Please provide detailed information when doing so, to avoid any errors. Additional pricing information, such as the costs of optional extras, is available on each product's page, linked to below.
