MARINE ZERO HOLDINGS LIMITED

What MARINE ZERO HOLDINGS LIMITED does

Marine Zero Holdings Limited is a UK-based clean maritime energy consultancy and technology firm founded in 2021 by Tim Munn and Andy Hurley. It serves vessel operators, port authorities, harbour operators, energy networks, and technology providers, supporting the maritime sector's transition to zero-emission operations under IMO 2030/2050, UK ETS, and CII frameworks. The company combines professional services — feasibility studies, FEED studies, naval architecture, electrical and propulsion design, shore power and hydrogen system integration, stakeholder management, and compliance support — with two proprietary technology products: CONNECT, a secure cloud-native digital twin and energy data platform that ingests onboard and infrastructure data via encrypted pipelines and exposes digital twin models through APIs; and MAP, a four-stage data-driven consultancy service that fuses AIS data, engine logs, and onboard monitoring into operational profiles and electrification roadmaps. Revenue is generated from consultancy engagements, engineering design and system integration contracts, and emerging recurring revenue from the CONNECT platform, priced on a tailored project basis with multi-year contracts. The business operates an enterprise sales-led go-to-market through direct consultative engagement, strategic partnerships, and multi-stakeholder project consortiums, and is currently concentrated in the United Kingdom with flagship projects on the River Thames (Electric Thames, ZEPHR, Lower Thames Mapping), Cornwall (A&P Falmouth Shore Power), and the River Tamar (Torpoint Bridge to Zero). Notable partners and customers include the Port of London Authority, UK Power Networks, Tamar Crossings, A&P Falmouth, SEA-KIT International, Marine2o, and the University of Plymouth. The company is a Certified B Corporation and Living Wage Employer, and is B2B-only with no consumer-facing product.

Core offering

Marine Zero provides clean maritime energy consultancy, engineering design, and data-driven analytics for vessel and port decarbonisation. Its core commercial offerings are two proprietary platforms — CONNECT, a cloud-native digital twin and energy data platform for ports, fleets, vessels, and infrastructure, and MAP, a four-stage data-driven consultancy service that produces electrification roadmaps — complemented by feasibility and FEED studies, marine engineering, naval architecture, design and system integration, shore-power design, and compliance support.

Product overview

Marine Zero offers a platform-plus-services model centred on two core proprietary products: CONNECT (a cloud-native digital twin and energy data platform) and MAP (a data-driven consultancy service for electrification planning). CONNECT enables real-time energy intelligence, standardised fleet data, and API-driven access to digital twin models for ports, fleets, vessels, and infrastructure. MAP delivers a four-stage consultancy methodology (Energy Assessment, Vessel Feasibility, Energy Supply Feasibility, FEED Study) that transforms operational data into actionable electrification roadmaps. Complementing these products is a comprehensive consulting services portfolio including project feasibility studies, marine engineering, design and system integration, operational intelligence, project management, marine charging/shore power solutions, stakeholder engagement, and compliance training support. The company also delivers major clean maritime infrastructure projects including Electric Thames, Torpoint Bridge to Zero, A&P Falmouth Shore Power, ZEPHR hydrogen refuelling, and Lower Thames Mapping.
