Vikingegaarden

What Vikingegaarden does

Vikingegaarden A/S is a Danish private IoT company headquartered in Vonge, Denmark, founded in 2003 (re-registered 2004). It provides integrated hardware, software, and cloud-based monitoring solutions primarily for industrial and commercial ports, with secondary offerings in maritime aids-to-navigation (ATON), agriculture automation, weather monitoring, and floating infrastructure. The core technology is the proprietary ProPower IoT system paired with the EMIKO management platform, which enables remote metering and control of electricity, water, light, and heat consumption at ports, automated invoicing via the Oeconomia API into harbor financial systems, and tracking of maritime markings. The portfolio spans Marinella Neo and Marineium supply pedestals, ShoreSupply shore-power systems, OnSiteLight smart lighting, GateKeeper access control, OceanWatcher water-level gauges, lanterns, beacons, buoys (physical, measuring, data, and virtual), floating pontoons and breakwaters, irrigation pump controllers, and Cumulus professional weather stations. Vikingegaarden is controlled by parent UØ Holding ApS, led by CEO Ulrik Østergaard with Chairman Thomas Dresler.

The company generates revenue through a mix of hardware sales (supply pedestals, weather stations, lighting, buoys, floating infrastructure), recurring software/IoT subscriptions (annual EMIKO and ProPower access), SIM-card data subscriptions (~12 DKK/month), equipment leasing, and turnkey project/installation services for port digitization. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct, supplemented by exclusive or strategic distribution partnerships including ROLEC Services (Denmark), Pontech Marina AB (Nordic floating bridges), SH Group (shore power), and SABIK Marine and FullOceans (ATON products). The customer base comprises enterprise Danish commercial ports (8 of Denmark's commercial ports use ProPower), Icelandic ports and IRCA, marinas, agricultural operations, and industry/construction sites, with named contracts including Port of Thyborøn (52 ProPower stands), Faxaflóahafnir Reykjavik (26 Marineium stands), Nykøbing Mors (96m floating bridge), Hanstholm (70m floating bridge), and Port of Copenhagen/MAST.
