Direct peers

• Royal HaskoningDHV: Global engineering consultancy with a dedicated Maritime & Waterways practice covering naval architecture, ship design, port design, and offshore engineering. Highly comparable to Sea Delta's marine and offshore engineering consultancy scope, though Royal HaskoningDHV is materially larger and more diversified.
• LOC Group (AqualisBraemar LOC): Marine and engineering consultancy offering naval architecture, offshore engineering, marine surveying, and warranty services to shipowners, offshore operators, and shipyards. Closely comparable to SDMO's single-window consultancy model and customer base in offshore and shipping.
• AqualisBraemar: Global marine and offshore consultancy (now combined with LOC) offering naval architecture, marine warranty, offshore engineering, and renewables advisory. Closely comparable peer to SDMO in service mix and target customers, especially offshore wind and energy transition work.

Broad incumbents

• Bureau Veritas Marine & Offshore: Classification society and marine advisory offering ship classification, offshore verification, and consulting engineering services. Comparable to SDMO's classification-society-approved engineering work but operates at a much larger global scale and as an incumbent class society itself.
• DNV (Maritime): Classification society and maritime advisory with extensive advisory and engineering services to shipbuilders, shipowners, and offshore operators. Overlaps with SDMO on classification-society-approved design and decarbonization/alternative-fuel advisory.
• Aker Solutions: Norwegian engineering and EPCM firm providing offshore platform design, subsea engineering, and offshore wind services. Comparable to SDMO's offshore platform and subsea engineering offerings but at much larger project scale and with full EPC delivery capability.
• Worley: Global energy, chemicals, and resources project delivery and consultancy with strong offshore and marine engineering practices. Comparable to SDMO's oil & gas platform, subsea, and project management services but with substantially larger scale and PMC capability.
• Wood Group: Global consulting and engineering firm with offshore engineering, asset integrity, and energy transition services to oil & gas and marine clients. Comparable on asset integrity and offshore engineering scope, especially across Gulf-region oil-major customers.
• McDermott International: Offshore engineering, procurement, construction, and installation (EPCI) provider for offshore oil & gas and subsea projects. Comparable on offshore platform and subsea engineering work but operates at much larger integrated EPC scale.
• Larsen & Toubro (L&T) – Heavy Engineering / Defence: Indian conglomerate with shipbuilding, offshore platform fabrication, and engineering capability serving oil & gas and defence customers. Comparable to SDMO on Indian-cost delivery of marine/offshore engineering but at vastly larger scale and with fabrication/manufacturing capacity.
