What Sea Impact does

Sea Impact ApS is a Copenhagen-based market intelligence platform purpose-built for the global offshore wind industry. Founded in 2019 as a joint venture between specialist consultancies LAUTEC and PEAK Wind, the company launched the SIMIP (Sea Impact Market Intelligence Platform) in March 2020 to deliver empirical performance benchmarks that address the lack of objective, comparable data across offshore wind installation and operations.

The core product is a modular SaaS platform that combines continuous AIS vessel tracking, satellite imagery, and proprietary offshore wind project databases to produce installation and O&M benchmarks. Coverage spans 100+ wind farms, 5,000+ turbines, 120+ vessels, and 900+ combined years of operational data, with customers able to subscribe to individual modules (Installation, O&M Jack-Up, Cable Installation, SOV, Floating) or purchase a Full Access subscription. The platform delivers P25/P50/P90 installation duration benchmarks, vessel utilization analysis, project schedule validation tools, and major component replacement tracking, with dashboards delivered through Power BI for customization. The company also sells standalone in-depth reports (e.g., 5,000 EUR per O&M Jack-Up Intervention Report) and bespoke consulting services targeting project schedule optimization, vessel procurement, and OEM reliability analysis.

Sea Impact generates revenue through three streams: recurring platform subscriptions sold on an annual basis, one-time report purchases, and custom consulting engagements. The go-to-market is consultative enterprise sales targeting offshore wind developers, vessel owners and marine contractors, turbine OEMs, and investors/financial institutions. The company maintains an active thought-leadership presence through industry conferences (Wind Energy Hamburg, Submarine Power Cable & Interconnection Forum), a weekly publication cadence on LinkedIn and its blog, and direct demo-led engagement. Operations span Europe, North America, and Asia-Pacific (South Korea, Taiwan, Japan) with partial coverage of the Chinese market.
