Marine Environmental Analysis

What Marine Environmental Analysis does

Marin Miljöanalys AB is a privately held Swedish environmental and hydrographic surveying consultancy headquartered at Manufakturgatan 2 in Göteborg, with a stated workforce of 1-10 employees. The firm executes qualified measurement and investigation assignments in the marine sector for government agencies, ports, industrial companies, construction firms, and renewable energy developers, with named clients including Sjöfartsverket (Swedish Maritime Administration), Jämtkraft, Sweco, and Stenkalles Vind AB. Its services cover hydrographic surveying performed to the FSIS-44 Swedish/Finnish realization of IHO standards (SRS44), multibeam and singlebeam bathymetry, side-scan sonar seabed morphology, sub-bottom profiling, sediment and benthic sampling, macroalgae inventories, environmental impact assessments (MKB), and permit applications under the Swedish Environmental Code (Miljöbalken).

The company's technical stack is built around specialized marine survey hardware — multibeam echo sounders, side-scan sonar, sub-bottom profilers, LiDAR, and seismic equipment — used to deliver approved hydrographic data directly to Sjöfartsverket for nautical chart production, and to produce terrain models, 3D maps, volume calculations, and CAD deliverables for infrastructure planning. A dedicated wind power survey service (Vindkraftsutredningar) layers high-resolution terrain and bedrock modeling for turbine siting onto the core offering. Operations are anchored in Västra Götaland, with documented project work extending to the Viskan river south of Borås, the Åresjön lake, and waters off Bornholm, indicating some cross-border and inland-water capability.

Commercially, the firm operates a sales-led B2B consulting model with project-based engagements, quote-based custom pricing typical of professional services, and direct outreach rather than channel intermediaries. Revenue is generated from professional services fees across five primary vertical segments — Government and Public Sector, Ports and Industry, Construction and Infrastructure, Consulting Firms, and Renewable Energy. The firm is GDPR-compliant, holds no disclosed external funding, has no subsidiaries, and has no documented M&A, leadership, or restructuring activity; its competitive position is sustained by FSIS-44/IHO compliance, 25+ years of combined team experience, and direct relationships with Swedish public-sector buyers.

Core offering

Marin Miljöanalys AB delivers qualified marine measurement and investigation assignments, performing hydrographic surveys in accordance with FSIS-44/IHO SRS44, seabed mapping with side scan sonar and sub-bottom profilers, multibeam and singlebeam bathymetry, marine environmental investigations (sediment and biota sampling), and environmental impact assessments and permit applications under Swedish environmental law. Deliverables include approved chart-grade hydrographic data for Sjöfartsverket, terrain models, 3D maps, CAD outputs, and EIA documents for ports, industrial clients, infrastructure developers, and renewable energy projects.

Product overview

Marin Miljöanalys AB is a consulting company with over 25 years of experience offering marine surveying and environmental services. The company operates a portfolio of integrated survey services centered around hydrographic surveying (Sjömätning), seabed mapping (Bottenkartering), and bathymetry (Batymetri/Ekolodning) as core technical offerings. These are complemented by marine environmental investigation services (Marin miljöundersökning), environmental impact assessments (Miljöutredningar), and permit acquisition support (Tillstånd och MKB). Specialized project services include wind power surveys (Vindkraftsutredningar) for turbine positioning. All services are delivered by a team combining expertise in hydrography, marine measurements, marine design, environmental care, and geotechnology. The company adheres to FSIS-44/IHO SRS44 standards for hydrographic surveys.

Functional benefit

Products and services

• Sjömätning / Hydrographic Survey Hydrographic surveying service performed in accordance with FSIS-44 (Swedish/Finnish realization of IHO SRS44 standards), delivering approved hydrographic data to the Swedish Maritime Administration (Sjöfartsverket) for nautical chart production. Targeted at maritime authorities, ports, and construction clients.
• Bottenkartering / Seabed Mapping Comprehensive seabed survey including pipeline corridor investigations, construction area surveys, bottom morphology with side scan sonar, sediment storage conditions with sub-bottom profiler, seismic surveys, and multibeam/singlebeam echo sounding, for ports, infrastructure projects, and cable operators.
• Batymetri / Ekolodning (Bathymetry and Echo Sounding) Multibeam and singlebeam bathymetric surveys producing depth charts, terrain models, 3D maps, volume calculations, and CAD deliverables for construction planning, dredging, and infrastructure engineering clients.
• Marin miljöundersökning / Marine Environmental Survey Marine environmental investigation services including sediment sampling (e.g., vibrocore, grab sampling), bottom fauna sampling, macroalgae inventory, underwater photography, and water sampling, for regulators, ports, industry, and infrastructure projects.
• Miljöutredningar och vattenverksamhet / Environmental Investigations Environmental consulting services including preparation of consultation documents, environmental impact assessments (MKB), environmental permits under the Swedish Environmental Code (Miljöbalken), and control programs for water operations and dredging projects.
• Tillstånd och MKB / Permits and EIA Permit acquisition and environmental impact assessment services including area descriptions, seabed investigations, flora and fauna inventories, site selection studies, alternative descriptions, full environmental impact assessments, and proposed protective measures for marine and water-related projects.
• Vindkraftsutredningar / Wind Power Surveys Environmental and seabed surveys for wind power development projects, including turbine positioning studies and high-resolution terrain and bedrock modeling for offshore and lakebed wind installations.

Regional players

• Sweco: Swedish-headquartered engineering consultancy that already subcontracts hydrographic work to Marin Miljöanalys. A buyer of the firm's services today and a credible acquirer; competes for integrated marine infrastructure mandates in the same domestic market.

Direct peers

• Rambøll: Nordic-headquartered engineering and environmental consultancy with dedicated marine, hydrographic, and offshore wind teams. Directly comparable on integrated survey + permitting work for ports and renewable developers in the Nordic region.
• COWI: Danish engineering consultancy with substantial marine, coastal, and offshore wind survey and EIA capability across the Nordics. Competes for the same port, offshore wind, and environmental permitting assignments in Sweden and Scandinavia.
• AquaBiota: Swedish consultancy delivering marine and aquatic environmental surveys, benthic inventories, and environmental impact assessments. Comparable on the environmental investigation and permitting side of Marin Miljöanalys's service portfolio, though lighter on hydrographic surveying.
• EGS (International): Independent hydrographic and geophysical survey firm operating across Europe with offshore, nearshore, and inland-water capability. Closely comparable service mix on multibeam, side scan sonar, sub-bottom, and environmental survey deliverables.
• Fugro: Dutch-based global leader in hydrographic, geophysical, and geotechnical surveys for offshore energy, ports, and infrastructure. Direct competitor on seabed mapping, bathymetry, and environmental survey mandates that Marin Miljöanalys serves in Sweden.
• Ocean Floor Geophysics: Specialist marine geophysical survey company focused on high-resolution seabed mapping, shallow geophysics, and UXO surveys. Comparable in its reliance on multibeam, sub-bottom, and side scan sonar techniques for offshore and infrastructure clients.

Broad incumbents

• WSP: Global engineering consultancy with Nordic offices covering marine environment, hydrography, and infrastructure. Overlaps with Marin Miljöanalys across environmental impact assessment and port/coastal engineering work but operates across far broader end markets.
• Tetra Tech: Large international environmental and engineering consultancy with established marine and hydrographic practice. Comparable on environmental site assessment and water resources work, though active in a far wider geography and sector mix.
• NORBIT: Norwegian technology firm supplying multibeam echo sounders and oceanographic sensors widely used in hydrographic surveying. A key equipment ecosystem player enabling small survey firms like Marin Miljöanalys, and increasingly active as a service provider.
