What Miros does

Miros AS is a Norway-based (Asker) privately held company founded in 1985 that pioneered radar-based ocean surface measurement and has supplied maritime sensing technology for over four decades. The company builds and sells proprietary IoT-enabled radar sensors — including WaveSystem, WaveFusion, Wavex, RangeFinder, Oil Spill Detection, Wave & Current Radar, and WaveWeather — that measure waves, currents, vessel motion, and speed-through-water. These sensors feed the Miros Cloud Home platform, which hosts application modules such as PredictifAI for AI-powered ocean and vessel motion prediction, OSD Monitoring for cloud-based oil spill detection with tamper-proof compliance logging, and a suite of vessel performance tools (Vessel Technical Index, Dynamic Fuel Table, Anti-Roll Assistant, Charter Party Performance, Noon Report Assistant), plus integration and visualization modules (Data Connector, Data Explorer, Forecast, Offshore Wind Map).

Miros generates revenue through three streams: sale of sensor hardware, SaaS subscriptions for the Miros Cloud platform and applications, and usage-based data-as-a-service delivery of real-time sea state data. Pricing is custom and quote-based; contracts are typically multi-year, sold through direct enterprise sales and a global partner network. Customer outcomes cited by named users include up to 10% fuel savings (BW Dry Cargo) and a reported 80% time reduction in accessing MetOcean data (unnamed major energy company). The company serves five primary verticals — offshore operations, offshore wind, oil & gas, ports & coastal, and shipping — with named customers Bibby Marine Services, BW Dry Cargo, NOFO, BMO Offshore, and a major energy company. In December 2025 it signed an MOU with Marine Technologies to embed Wavex into MT's vessel control and dynamic positioning systems, reaching approximately 300 vessels in the Gulf of Mexico and Brazil. The company reports between 51 and 100 employees and holds ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 certifications. Andreas Brekke serves as Chief Executive Officer.

Note: a separate Rotterdam-based startup sharing the 'Miros' name raised $1.1M in pre-seed funding in March 2025 (led by Exceptional Ventures, with Antler participating) to develop sensor-equipped office pods; available sources indicate this is a distinct entity from the Norwegian maritime sensing business described here.

Core offering

Miros designs, manufactures, and sells proprietary radar-based ocean surface measurement sensors and IoT-enabled systems (WaveSystem, Wavex, RangeFinder, Oil Spill Detection) and bundles them with a cloud-based AI analytics platform (Miros Cloud) and vessel performance software. The integrated offering delivers real-time wave, current, speed-through-water, and oil spill data to offshore vessel operators, shipping companies, offshore wind operators, and oil & gas customers worldwide.

Product overview

Miros offers a comprehensive ocean insights platform combining IoT-enabled radar sensor technology with AI-powered analytics software. The portfolio operates on a platform-plus-modules architecture: the core infrastructure consists of radar-based sensors (WaveSystem, WaveFusion, Wavex, RangeFinder, Oil Spill Detection, Wave & Current Radar, WaveWeather) that feed real-time ocean condition data to the Miros Cloud Home platform. From this platform, users access specialized applications including PredictifAI for AI-powered predictions, OSD Monitoring for oil spill detection, and vessel performance tools (Vessel Technical Index, Dynamic Fuel Table, Anti-Roll Assistant, Charter Party Performance, Noon Report Assistant). Data Connector and Data Explorer enable integration and visualization, while Forecast and Offshore Wind Map serve specialized market segments. The company serves offshore operations, offshore wind, oil & gas, ports & coastal, and shipping industries.
