HIADES CONSULTING
We are a forward-thinking technology company dedicated to creating innovative solutions for the maritime industry. Our story began in 2010, as Hiades an IT consultancy firm specialized in software development. The first project was catered to technical-nautical services, and we began creating customized solutions for marine pilots in Canary Islands. Since then, we have grown and evolved to provide a full-suite of advanced and comprehensive solutions for port authorities, technical-nautical services, ship operators and other stakeholders involved in ports and maritime transportation under the Amura Smart Solutions umbrella brand. Today we are trusted by port authorities and maritime operators across Europe, the Americas, and beyond.

From basic digital transformation projects to complex smart-port ecosystems, our company is dedicated to improving operational productivity, safety, and sustainability.
