What Marico Marine does

Marico Marine is an independent marine consultancy providing specialist advisory and technical services to the global maritime sector. Founded in 1999 and operating with 11–50 employees from headquarters in Southampton (United Kingdom) and a regional headquarters in Wellington (New Zealand), the firm serves clients across seven verticals: ports and harbours, shipping, renewables, oil and gas, utilities, GIS, and hydrography. Its service portfolio covers maritime risk management, safety compliance, site surveys, environmental assessment, hydrographic surveying, seabed mapping, and geospatial analysis for navigation and coastal zone management.

The firm's core technology offering is HAZMAN II, a proprietary risk management solution designed for hazard identification and risk assessment in maritime operations. The broader technology stack integrates hydrographic surveying, GIS-based spatial analysis, and consulting workflows to support clients through project lifecycles from site assessment through delivery. The business model is professional services delivered via direct enterprise B2B sales to maritime industry clients including port authorities, shipping companies, renewable energy developers, and offshore oil and gas operators, with the GTM motion centered on direct relationships and project-based engagements.

Marico Marine markets itself on independence from vendor affiliations and cross-sector maritime expertise, using LinkedIn as its primary digital channel and maintaining no disclosed funding, M&A, partnerships, certifications, or executive team information in the public data reviewed.
