Our Vision
We envision a world where maritime trade is fast, clean, and sustainable — without compromise.
Chimera Marine exists to accelerate the transition to zero-carbon oceans and redefine what's possible at sea. Our fusion-fission hybrid engine enables a clean, safe, and efficient propulsion system that can operate for up to 20 years without refueling.
Benefits
Cleaner
Our fusion - fission hybrid engine produces zero GHG emissions.
Faster
Make more trips per year thanks to faster cruising speeds and no bunkering.
Cheaper
Our engine significantly reduces operational costs by eliminating fuel expenses and maintenance downtime.
Leadership
Jacob van de Lindt
Jacob van de Lindt is a Nuclear Science and Engineering PhD candidate at MIT researching fusion reactor RF heating systems. Before MIT, Jacob worked as a trajectory analysis engineer at SpaceX for Starship, at USNC-Tech for nuclear fission thermal rocket nozzle design, and at the ITER tokomak in France.
John Ball
John Ball is a PhD candidate in the Department of Nuclear Science and Engineering at MIT, where his research focuses on the development of advanced nuclear diagnostics for the SPARC tokamak. Prior to joining MIT, John worked on the Centrifugal Mirror Fusion Experiment at the University of Maryland, College Park and stellarator theory at the Princeton Plasma Physics Lab
