Technomar Engenharia

What Technomar Engenharia does

Technomar Engenharia Ltda is a Brazilian naval and oceanic engineering firm founded in 2002 and headquartered in Pinheiros, São Paulo. The company develops and operates proprietary software and engineering services across three domains: port monitoring (Local Port Services, Vessel Traffic Services, and Vessel Traffic Monitoring & Information Systems), offshore monitoring (real-time platforms integrating satellite, AIS, radar, IMU, sonar, and camera feeds on floating units), and navigation simulation (the TMS, a DNV Class A-certified vessel maneuvering simulator — the first developed in the Southern Hemisphere to achieve this certification). The underlying technology stack combines proprietary hydro-dynamic modeling, 3D port scenario rendering, digital twin development, and real-time sensor integration to deliver maneuverability simulations, mooring prediction, dynamic draft optimization, and risk analysis for ports, offshore platforms, and navigation operations.

The company serves three primary customer segments: port operators and authorities (including Brazilian port authorities and private terminals), offshore oil & gas operators (FPSOs, floating platforms, offloading vessels), and navigation/shipping companies and training institutions. Disclosed customers include PORTOS RS, Praticagem de Rio Grande, Tecon Rio Grande, Sintermar, Grupo Chibatão, and SEST SENAT. Revenue is generated through a blend of custom project-based engineering services, multi-year simulator installation and training contracts (including a proprietary Simulation and Training Center in São Paulo), recurring software licensing and monitoring subscriptions, and grant-funded R&D projects with FINEP, FAPESP, CNPq, and ANP.

Technomar operates across more than 15 Brazilian states, has executed over 250 port and offshore projects, and has accumulated more than 4,000 simulation hours with clients. The firm maintains R&D partnerships with the University of São Paulo (holding the DNA USP seal), the University of Tokyo, and NTNU, and is the only Brazilian IALA Industrial Member specialized in port monitoring and maritime engineering. Active R&D areas include floating offshore wind turbine hull optimization, CO2 sequestration in salt caverns, and a maritime route optimization module demonstrating ~14% emissions reduction.

Core offering

Technomar Engenharia develops proprietary maritime software and delivers naval/oceanic engineering services, including port monitoring systems (LPS/VTS/VTMIS), offshore monitoring platforms, a DNV Class A certified navigation simulator (TMS), manoeuvrability simulations, and engineering projects. Its offerings are sold to port authorities, oil & gas operators, shipping companies, and maritime training centers, supported by R&D collaborations with universities (USP, UTokyo, NTNU) and certifications from DNV and IALA.

Product overview

Technomar Engenharia offers a comprehensive suite of maritime and offshore technology solutions organized around six interconnected core products. The portfolio centers on the proprietary Technomar Traffic Service software for port monitoring (LPS/VTS/VTMIS) and the TMS (Technomar Maritime Simulator) for navigation and maneuverability simulations—both internally developed and DNV Class A certified. These are complemented by Offshore Monitoring services that integrate data from satellites, AIS, radar, sonar, and sensors; Engineering Projects covering mooring systems, access channels, and stability analysis; and an Innovation R&D division developing digital twins, floating wind turbines, and autonomous vessels in partnership with USP and Tokyo University. The ecosystem includes a proprietary Simulation and Training Center in São Paulo for hands-on training with captains and pilots, positioning Technomar as a full-service provider from monitoring to simulation to engineering across ports, navigation, and offshore sectors.
