What ROUSSEAUX does

ROUSSEAUX is an Argentine private maritime energy efficiency consultancy structured as an "Eco-efficient Operations Center for the Naval Industry" (Centro de Operaciones Ecoeficientes para la Industria Naval). The firm delivers integrated solutions across four pillars — ships, ports, operators, and human factor — combining consulting, monitoring hardware design and assembly, data analytics, regulatory compliance, and training. Core offerings include energy efficiency management, IMO-DCS / CII / EU-MRV / EU-ETS / FuelEU Maritime compliance reporting, carbon intensity reduction plans, SEEMP Part II development, Underwater Radiated Noise (URN) measurement aligned with IMO MEPC.1/Circ.906, and a maritime cybersecurity service launched in May 2024. Technology components include proprietary monitoring devices, sensors, fuel flow meters, and an AI-augmented layer for route optimization, predictive maintenance, and real-time emissions monitoring. The customer base spans shipowners, ports and terminals, charterers, and government maritime authorities, primarily in Latin America (Argentina, Honduras, Mexico, Panama, Costa Rica, Trinidad and Tobago) with reach into the United Kingdom. The business model is professional services-led: quote-based, multi-year contracts across consulting, monitoring implementation, training, and compliance reporting. Go-to-market is sales-led, combining direct engagement with IMO/MTCC Latin America/UNDP/GEF institutional partnerships, thought-leadership content, and active conference participation. Notable strategic moves include a February 2026 MOU with TANDANOR and NUCLEARIS to evaluate Small Modular Reactor (SMR) applications in naval propulsion and port energy infrastructure.
