Ghostworks Earns California Zero-Emission Voucher Certification
The California Air Resources Board has certified Ghostworks to develop zero-emission vessels eligible for the state's CORE voucher incentive program, with both Minerva and Ecto-10 approved for public transit agencies and private operators pursuing clean-tech fleet conversion.
The California Air Resources Board has certified Ghostworks to develop and manufacture zero-emission electric-powered vessels eligible for the state's Clean Off-Road Equipment Voucher Incentive Project (CORE). The certification opens a new path for public agencies, transit authorities, and private operators pursuing aggressive climate goals and clean-tech fleet conversion in California.
Two Ghostworks vessels are approved for CORE incentives. Ecto-10, our 10 meter composite catamaran with twin battery-electric outboards, is built for urban ferry routes, tour operators, and coastal transit services. Minerva, our 14 meter M-Hull platform with carbon fiber construction, is engineered for higher passenger and cargo capacities and longer routes, with a path to hybrid diesel-electric propulsion for expanded range.
CORE enables California businesses and government entities to apply for vouchers that significantly offset the cost of zero-emission equipment, making the transition to cleaner alternatives more affordable.
Ghostworks Unveils Turnkey ASW Platform at Sea-Air-Space 2025
At Sea-Air-Space 2025, Ghostworks unveiled Medusa (M90T), a 27 meter M-Hull platform purpose-built to deliver rapidly deployable anti-submarine warfare capability to allied navies.
At Sea-Air-Space 2025, Ghostworks unveiled Medusa (M90T), our 27 meter M-Hull platform configured for anti-submarine warfare missions. The open-stern variant is built to carry containerized mission systems and towed sensor arrays, delivering turnkey ASW capability at a fraction of the cost of larger capital ships.
Medusa can be deployed, configured, and operated as a standalone platform or as part of a larger task force, with the ability to carry and deploy smaller Ghostworks unmanned surface vessels to extend operational reach.

Ghostworks announced the launch of its first M-Ship Co. legacy platform, taking an M-Hull vessel from design to completed sea trials in six months. The vessel embarked on an East Coast demonstration tour with stops in Washington, Annapolis, Virginia Beach, Charleston, Port Canaveral, Fort Lauderdale, and the Florida Keys.
The launch represented the first new-build M-Hull in nearly two decades, drawing directly from two decades of Stiletto M80 research and development. Ghostworks holds the exclusive global license to the patented M-Hull design.
