What Ocean Technologies Group does

Ocean Technologies Group (OTG) is a London-headquartered maritime software provider operating under the OneOcean brand, serving shipping companies, cruise lines, and fleet operators globally with a portfolio of enterprise SaaS solutions. Its unified platform connects ships, fleets, and shore operations across five core modules: Human Capital Management (HCM) for crew training, certification, and management; Technical Ship Management (TSM) for maintenance, procurement, and inspections; Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC) including the Regs4ships platform accepted by port authorities and flag states; Voyage Planning & Management (VPM); and Voyage Performance & Optimisation (VPO) for sustainability and risk management. The platform reportedly serves 30,000 vessels and over one million seafarers worldwide, with a workforce of 900+ people.

OTG has pursued an active acquisition-led growth strategy, backed by private equity sponsor Oakley Capital and ultimately owned by Lloyd's Register Group Limited, which provides 260 years of maritime heritage and regulatory credibility. Notable acquisitions include crew management SaaS provider COMPAS in September 2021 and Danish maritime compliance documentation company DanDocs in March 2024. The company monetizes through enterprise SaaS subscriptions on annual contracts with quote-based pricing, distributed via direct field sales to fleet operators, with thought leadership partnerships (notably with Thetius) supporting demand generation. Customer base spans cruise operators (Carnival Corporation), container shipping (CMA CGM), bulk shipping (NSB GROUP), and energy (Total Energies), indicating penetration across multiple maritime verticals.
