Founded by Dylan Wentink, a working Chief Engineer with more than a decade at sea, first-hand IHM experience, and current involvement in new-vessel construction.
Maritime regulation continues to improve safety and environmental performance. That progress is good for the industry, but every new obligation adds to the number of responsibilities already carried by Chief Engineers and shore-side teams.
IHM maintenance is a clear example. The work matters, but the available tools often turn it into hours of chasing declarations, updating spreadsheets, organising folders, and rebuilding the evidence trail before a review.
MANTIS was created to make that work simpler: keep the live IHM record current as changes happen, retain the supporting evidence, and produce a clear survey-ready pack without the last-minute scramble.
Working Chief Engineer · more than a decade at sea · direct IHM experience
Dylan's background spans more than a decade of active vessel operations and direct IHM work. He is currently involved in the construction of a new vessel, so MANTIS is being developed alongside the industry it serves rather than from a software-only view of compliance.
Navio Maritime OÜ is the registered Estonian company behind MANTIS. Its founder and company status can be checked directly in the official Estonian e-Business Register.
MANTIS helps Chief Engineers, vessel operators, managers, DPAs, and other shore-side teams handle IHM work efficiently and effectively. The aim is simple: make it easier to stay compliant while reducing the time spent maintaining the record and assembling its evidence.
The product is intentionally focused. It brings the inventory, supplier declarations, SDS files, certificates, change history, and exports into one vessel record that remains usable across handovers and outside the application.
