Comprehensive maritime port management offering expert risk assessment, advanced simulation, environmental planning and resilient cyber and asset management solutions

Ports operate in complex, dynamic environments where safety, efficiency, environmental stewardship, and cyber resilience must be seamlessly integrated. We combine world-class maritime expertise with proprietary digital tools to address these challenges.

Our global marine surveying network and incident investigation capabilities deliver critical insights to mitigate risk. Through tailored cybersecurity strategies, adaptive dredging solutions, and future fuels advisory, we help ports optimise asset management, meet evolving regulations, and build resilience against climate and operational threats—delivering safer, smarter, and more sustainable port operations.

Ports face navigational hazards, environmental regulations, cyber threats, and climate risks

Navigation and traffic safety

Ports face increasing vessel traffic and tighter manoeuvring margins. We use dynamic simulation and navigational training to reduce collision risks and improve operational safety.

Environmental compliance and impact

Port activities can disrupt sensitive ecosystems and breach environmental limits. We apply targeted modelling and management strategies to minimise ecological impact and support regulatory compliance.

Extreme weather resilience

Ports are vulnerable to storm surges, flooding, and heatwaves. We deliver coastal resilience planning and hydraulic modelling to safeguard infrastructure and maintain operations.

Future fuels and clean maritime

Ports face mounting pressure to transition toward low-emission operations and alternative fuels. We guide clean maritime strategies through advisory support and techno-economic assessments tailored to future fuel adoption.

Cybersecurity risks

Digital systems in ports are exposed to growing cyber threats. We develop proactive, risk-informed strategies to protect critical infrastructure and operational continuity.

Designing resilient waterside infrastructure for ports

Developing modern ports requires balancing efficiency, sustainability, and resilience while addressing increasing environmental and operational pressures.

Optimising machinery and materials handling in ports

Ports and terminals must manage ever-increasing cargo volumes while ensuring safe, reliable, and sustainable operations.
