CINO

CINO (Corporation Internationale Nauticale et Oceanique) is a European Aquacorp that specializes in the underwater shipping and technology services around the Pacific Rim and Atlantic Rim. In 2021 after IHAG filed for bankruptcy CINO started preparations to buy out the corporation and get the resources and assets they had. This later entered into a conflict with OTEC which then ended with a Fourth Corporate War. They later hired on Arasaka, a local security force, to fight the war for them.

Background
Originally a British shipping firm, CINO deals mainly in the construction of shipping vessels and related navigation and shipping equipment. Construction is done at their huge dry-dock facility in Le Havre, or at Marseilles. They have modest krill processing centers, a few sea farms, and dozens of undersea research labs. For 10 years they've been unsuccessfully struggling to break into nautitech.

Equipment & Resources
The corporation has access to state of-the-art military vessels (since they build them) and can delay delivery of any of these vessels to take them on a "proving test." Each office has several AVs for antisub work, assault, and cargo transport They have contracts with Europe's best hospitals, and can call on high-quality mercenaries.
