Tidewise, a Harbour City start-up whose app shows live ferry positions and delays, has raised 2.5 million from investors to expand to other coastal cities.
The app was built by three former ferry engineers and now has more than 80,000 users.
Shares in the company rose slightly after the announcement. Analysts said the plan was ambitious but well financed.
The chamber of commerce said the news was a sign of confidence in the regional economy, which has grown faster than the national average for three years.
