Fathom Marine Consultants

What Fathom Marine Consultants does

Fathom Marine Consultants Pvt Ltd is a UK-headquartered (London), India-incorporated private maritime consultancy operating globally with strategic partnership presence in Canada, Singapore, India, and the Netherlands. The company delivers professional services across four pillars: pre-purchase and condition surveys (including P&I, H&M, SIRE 2.0, PSC/USCG/TC/AMSA/Rightship preparation); port superintendency and owner's representation (including dry dock attendance and damage investigations); ESG marine advisory covering EEXI/CII compliance and green transition strategy; and emerging technology-enabled services comprising AR/VR/XR-based maritime training applications and drone-based inspections. Its technology stack leverages Augmented Reality for realistic training simulations, computer vision capabilities for AR overlays and drone assessments, and Google Cloud/Firebase infrastructure for its digital platforms.

The company operates a hybrid revenue model combining project-based professional services (inspections, superintendency, ESG advisory, damage investigations) with potential subscription/recurring revenue from its two mobile applications—Fathom LNG Bunkering (launched January 2026) and Fathom Methanol Bunkering—distributed via Google Play Store. Distribution is primarily direct enterprise engagement with ship owners, managers, and operators, supported by sub-brand MANOMAX ACADEMY for training and a website-led content marketing presence. Named enterprise customers span ship owners and managers (Seaspancorp, Fleetship, MTM Shipmanagement, Synergy Marine Group, CST-Shipping, Kline Global RORO, Wilhelmsen, OSM, SU-NAV) and commodity trading (ITOCHU), indicating reliance on B2B shipping-industry contracts.

With 11-50 employees, no disclosed funding, no parent company, and no public financials, Fathom is a small privately-held specialist consultancy that has used partnerships and digital product extensions (LNG/Methanol bunkering apps, AR training, MANOMAX ACADEMY) to broaden its service surface beyond traditional survey work into alternative-fuel compliance and immersive training—areas positioned to benefit from the maritime industry's decarbonization transition.
