Ocean Big Data Specialist Since 2011
The ocean is in our DNA. We are 50+ passionate technicians, explorers, and data specialists who love the challenge of turning complex geodata into clarity. With deep expertise across domains and a strong focus on our customers, we help marine stakeholders - from offshore wind to navies - to unlock the full value of their raw underwater sensor data.
Why Us?
The Ocean Big Data Specialist
Since 2011, we’ve been helping the world’s leading offshore wind developers, navies, and marine stakeholders unlock the full potential of their underwater sensor data. With more than a decade of project experience we’ve built the core technologies that matter: the Ocean Data Platform and our Ocean Data Processing Engine.

Offshore Wind
Fast-track site surveys and stakeholder alignment from planning to operation.

Maritime Defence & Security
Enable sovereign control, secure sharing, and rapid seabed intelligence.

Offshore Surveying
Accelerate data delivery, validation, and client handover with modern workflows.

Public & Research Institutions
Improve accessibility, traceability, and reuse of marine data sets.

Offshore Industry
De-risk subsea construction, maintenance, and inspections with full visibility.
No One-Size-Fits-All
Every dataset, every project, every client is different. That’s why we combine technology with consulting services—aligning on goals, co-designing data flows, and creating tailored solutions that fit your unique needs.
Faster. Smarter. Proven.
We’ve cut processing times from weeks to minutes. We’ve turned raw terabytes into actionable insight. And we’re just getting started.
Ocean Data Platform
Secure, scalable, and designed for the complexity of marine data. Deploy on cloud or on-prem.
Ocean Data Processing
Our next-gen processing engine transforms terabytes raw point cloud data into optimized outputs. Cutting processing from weeks to minutes.
Ocean Data Consulting
We start with alignment - because tech alone isn't enough. Together with our clients, we build a mutual understanding of where they are and how their data vision can look like.
Ocean Data Analytics
Applied AI, machine learning and geoalgorithms turn your raw sensor data into actionable insights.
