Homeport

What Homeport does

Homeport Consulting is a private, Dubai-headquartered B2B advisory firm that delivers consulting and management services across the waterfront investment lifecycle. The firm serves marina developers, waterfront developers, government entities, and marina operators, with named project references in marquee Dubai megaprojects including Dubai Islands, Palm Jebel Ali, World Islands, and Marasi Marinas. Service lines span marina feasibility studies and financial analysis, masterplanning and design, engineering and technical advisory, operations and management, environmental technology, and AI & digital systems.

The firm's core technology is organized around two proprietary branded platforms: HomeportAI™, an AI and digital systems platform for marina operations, monitoring, and optimization; and Oxyfusion™, an environmental solutions technology positioned for sustainable marina development. These are marketed alongside traditional engineering and advisory services as an integrated technology ecosystem, and the firm holds them out as core products rather than as ancillary tools.

Homeport generates revenue through project-based professional services engagements on a quote-driven, scope-specific basis with no publicly disclosed pricing. The go-to-market model is direct enterprise engagement targeting marina and waterfront developers, supplemented by content-led thought leadership on maritime sustainability and decarbonization to attract top-of-funnel demand. The firm operates with 11–50 employees and is privately held, with no disclosed external funding, parent company, or institutional investment identified in available source material.

Broad incumbents

• Arcadis: International design and consultancy firm with waterfront and coastal development experience. Competes with Homeport for marina/waterfront masterplanning engagements, particularly on larger integrated developments.
• AECOM: Global infrastructure consulting firm with a significant waterfront, coastal, and maritime practice. Competes for large marina and waterfront development programmes alongside Homeport but offers far broader capabilities and geographic reach.
• WSP: Global engineering professional services firm with waterfront, port, and marine advisory capabilities. Comparable to Homeport on the advisory/engineering side of marina development, though marinas are one of many service lines.
• TY Lin International: International infrastructure engineering firm with marine and waterfront capabilities. Adjacent peer for marina/waterfront engineering advisory work that Homeport also pursues, particularly in the Middle East and Asia.
• Royal HaskoningDHV: Large international engineering consultancy with a dedicated coastal and marina practice. Comparable because it competes for the same waterfront masterplanning and engineering advisory mandates that Homeport pursues, but at much greater scale.

Direct peers

• Bellingham Marine: Global marina design, construction, and consultancy firm. Comparable to Homeport across the marina development lifecycle, though heavier on the construction/delivery side versus Homeport's advisory-leaning model.
• Camper & Nicholsons Marinas: Long-established specialist marina consultancy and developer active globally, including the Middle East. Closest direct peer to Homeport given shared focus on marina planning, design, and owner-side advisory for luxury and destination marinas.
• Moffatt & Nichol: Global marine and waterfront engineering consultancy specializing in ports, marinas, and coastal infrastructure. Directly comparable to Homeport in service scope (feasibility through operations) and customer profile (developers and operators of waterfront assets).
• Marina Projects: UK-based specialist marina and waterfront consultancy offering planning, design, and operational advisory. Directly comparable to Homeport in service mix and customer type, though primarily serving European clients.

Regional players

• Ingerop: French-headquartered engineering consultancy with marine, port, and coastal infrastructure expertise. Comparable in service scope to Homeport, with strong regional overlap in Europe and growing activity in the Middle East.
