Nordic Maritime Group

What Nordic Maritime Group does

Nordic Maritime Group (NMG) is a privately held maritime research services firm operating across the Baltic Sea and inland waters, with offices in Vesilahti, Finland and Vejbystrand, Sweden. Founded as a formal entity in 2017 by a three-person team of maritime archaeologists and a marine geologist with prior project experience since 2009, the company delivers three integrated service lines: maritime archaeology (surveys, excavations, ROV inspections, dendrochronological sampling, photogrammetry), marine surveying (seafloor mapping via DeepVision DE3468D side-scan sonar, single-beam depth measurement, cable and pipeline corridor location), and marine science consulting (geological studies, aerial photography with 3D modelling, environmental permitting support). The firm is staffed by Advanced European Scientific Divers with archaeological and geological specializations, and credentialing around dive leadership and GIS/photogrammetry is a central capability differentiator.

NMG serves construction and infrastructure developers, utility and energy operators (notably offshore wind and subsea cable/pipeline projects), and government and municipal authorities across Finland, Sweden, and increasingly other Nordic and Baltic jurisdictions. Revenue is generated through project-based professional services engagements priced on quotation rather than disclosed tariffs, with the firm documenting its work via publicly available archaeological and survey reports. The business is sales-led and direct, with no app, no API, no software product, and no external funding; it relies on its website, professional networks, and likely heritage/permitting procurement channels to secure engagements. Customer logos are not publicly disclosed and there are no partnerships, acquisitions, or other strategic transactions in the record, leaving a small, talent-driven services company whose growth is tied to Baltic construction, cabling, and offshore-wind activity.

Broad incumbents

• COWI: Large Danish engineering consultancy with a marine and offshore survey practice covering hydrography, cable route surveys, and environmental assessments across the Baltic and North Sea. Overlaps with NMG on Nordic offshore wind and cable corridor work but at significantly greater scale and project breadth.
• DeepOcean Group: Norwegian subsea services company providing geophysical, geotechnical, and hydrographic surveys for offshore wind, oil and gas, and submarine cable projects in Northern Europe. Overlaps with NMG in Baltic and Nordic survey work but operates own-vessel fleet and serves a broader energy scope.
• Fugro NV: Global geo-data specialist with extensive marine site characterization, cable route surveys, and offshore wind geophysical services worldwide. Largest scale competitor in the marine surveying space; comparable subsea survey methodology though larger geographic and asset footprint than NMG.
• RPS Group (Tetra Tech): International consulting firm offering marine survey, environmental, and offshore engineering services including hydrographic and geophysical surveys supporting offshore wind and cable projects. Operates at much larger scale but overlaps with NMG in survey methods and end-customer segment.
• Rambøll Group: Major Nordic-headquartered engineering and consulting firm with marine and environmental services supporting coastal infrastructure, offshore wind, and dredging projects. Comparable client base to NMG (utilities, governments, developers) but operating across a much broader portfolio.

Others

• Museovirasto / Finnish Heritage Agency (cultural heritage contracting): Finland's national cultural heritage authority that commissions pre-construction maritime archaeological surveys from external firms including NMG. Functions as a key customer/regulator ecosystem participant rather than a direct competitor, but materially shapes the addressable market for NMG's archaeology services.

Direct peers

• Wessex Archaeology: UK-based archaeological consultancy with a dedicated maritime archaeology unit delivering pre-construction marine surveys, ROV inspections, and heritage assessments for offshore wind and infrastructure. Closest functional peer to NMG's maritime archaeology service line, though operating at larger UK/Atlantic scale.
• Headland Archaeology: Independent archaeological consultancy operating across the UK and Ireland with a maritime archaeology division delivering coastal and offshore pre-construction surveys, ROV inspections, and GIS-based heritage documentation. Directly comparable to NMG's maritime archaeology offering and service model.
• GeoVista Sweden: Swedish marine geoscience and hydrographic surveying consultancy delivering seabed mapping, side scan sonar, and environmental surveys primarily to Nordic and Baltic clients. Direct peer to NMG in size, regional scope, and survey service portfolio.
• Marin Mätteknik (MMT Group): Swedish-based marine surveying firm providing hydrographic surveys, geophysical mapping, and seabed investigations for offshore energy and infrastructure clients across the Nordics and Baltic. Directly comparable to NMG in regional scope, survey technology mix, and customer base in cable/pipeline and offshore wind pre-construction work.
