What Steor does
Sitronics KT (operating under the Steor brand) is a Saint Petersburg-based Russian high-technology company and wholly-owned subsidiary of Sitronics Group that develops integrated solutions for commercial maritime fleets, coastal services, and municipal governments. Founded approximately ten years prior to 2024, the company employs 51-100 people across offices in Saint Petersburg (headquarters) and Moscow. Its primary customer base consists of Russian federal agencies — most notably Rosmorrechflot — municipal administrations such as Gatchina District and Sosnovskoye settlement, commercial fleet operators, and educational institutions.
The product portfolio is organized around a 'maritime digital ecosystem' combining shipboard navigation equipment (Bering ECDIS, Bering Radar, autonomous navigation systems), shore-based infrastructure (AIS base stations, correction-controlling stations, vessel traffic management systems), cartographic systems covering 100% of Russian inland waterways (69,000 km), and training simulators including VR complexes. A second business line is the IQCITY Digital Platform for Territory Management, a situational center for municipal and regional governments registered in the Unified Register of Russian Programs. Notable technical achievements include commercial deployment of autonomous navigation on Baltic Sea ferries Marshal Rokossovsky and General Chernyakhovsky (150,000 nautical miles in remote-control operation) and recognition as an effective Russian AI practice by ANO 'Digital Economy'. The software stack spans Java, C/C++, Python, Go, and TypeScript with PostgreSQL/PostGIS, Apache Airflow, and Vue/Nuxt on the frontend.
The business model combines hardware sales (shipboard and coastal equipment, AIS base stations, ship technology complexes), software licensing of products registered in the Russian software registry (including PO Delta cartographic software), and project-based system integration services. Pricing is custom-quote-based with multi-year contracts, and the company sells exclusively through a direct enterprise field-sales motion targeting Russian government and commercial clients — no marketplace, reseller, or international channel presence is disclosed.
