OceanWise Ltd

What OceanWise Ltd does

OceanWise Ltd (trading as OceanWise Global) is a UK-based marine data company founded in 2010 that builds software, services, and data products for safer and smarter management of marine operations. The company operates three business streams — Environmental Monitoring, Marine Mapping, and Compliance — serving ports and harbours, maritime pilotage, bridges and inland waterways, energy providers (including offshore renewables), and governments and agencies. Its primary product is Port-Log, a cloud-based (or in-house installable) environmental data platform that is instrument- and transmission-independent, allowing customers to view, disseminate, and analyse marine and meteorological data in near real-time or historically. Port-Log is sold as a subscription with optional modules including the Advanced Waves Extension, Forecasting Extension, and Port-Log Connect for external data sharing, and is complemented by a marine geospatial mapping data offering, an Asset Management System for ports, telemetry hardware integration, and a portfolio of marine data management, MSDI, and GIS training courses delivered via OceanTeacher Global Academy.

The business model combines recurring platform subscriptions, data and software licensing, bespoke enterprise installations and maintenance, and professional services/training, with pricing provided on application rather than publicly listed. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales augmented by a global licensed partner network, targeting regulated buyers requiring Port Marine Safety Code compliance and standards-aligned data management. The company holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, and Cyber Essentials certifications and participates in standards bodies including IHO MSDIWG, MEDIN, EMODnet, and UN-GGIM. Headcount is approximately 21, operating from Alton and Eastbourne in the UK with a secondary registration in Ireland, and the company claims a global deployment footprint across ports, harbours, coastal terminals, offshore renewables, coastal observatories, and inland waterways.

• AXYS Technologies: Designs and supplies marine environmental monitoring systems (buoys, metocean stations) for ports, offshore, and government clients. Closely comparable to OceanWise's monitoring system integration offering.
• Tidetech: Commercial marine weather and metocean data provider serving ports, pilots, and offshore operators. Direct overlap with OceanWise's tidal, wave, and weather data products delivered via Port-Log.
• AML Oceanographic: Manufactures oceanographic monitoring instruments and CTDs used in coastal and marine monitoring deployments. Comparable as an instrumentation peer serving similar end customers and often integrating with platforms like Port-Log.
• IIC Technologies: Hydrographic services and marine geospatial data provider serving ports, governments, and naval customers. Comparable in marine mapping, MSDI, and capacity-building services.
• Aanderaa Data Instruments (AADI): Supplies oceanographic sensors and data loggers for environmental monitoring. Comparable as a peer in marine sensors and telemetry that integrate into broader environmental data platforms.

Broad incumbents

• BMT Group: Large maritime engineering and environmental consultancy with port operations, hydrographic, and data management practices. Overlaps with OceanWise across port environmental monitoring and marine data management but as part of a much broader portfolio.
• Fugro: Global geo-data specialist providing hydrographic survey, marine environmental baseline studies, and asset monitoring. Comparable as a broad incumbent in marine data acquisition and management with overlap in offshore renewables and coastal monitoring.
• Saab Maritime: Provides maritime traffic management, VTS, and navigation systems to port authorities globally. Adjacent incumbent with overlap on navigational safety, hydrographic services, and port-side data systems.

Emerging players

• Maritime Robotics: Norwegian provider of unmanned surface vehicles for hydrographic survey and marine data acquisition. Emerging player in marine data acquisition whose outputs feed into similar environmental data platforms as OceanWise serves.
