Logistic decisions based on inaccurate weather window estimates cost millions per year, and stop vessels reaching their destination.
Seawork newcomer NeuWave is a Manchester-based startup expecting to make waves with high-precision environmental forecasting tools, proven to help cut vessel downtime by up to 38%.
Headed by Jana Stella, Lucas Martin, and Chris Wright; backed by their unique combined expertise in Oceanography, Deep Learning, and Systems Development, NeuWave delivers weather window data that is up to 10x more accurate and 60x higher resolution than current industry leaders.
Better environmental data unlocks a deeper understanding of local conditions, meaning ships can sail safely, fuel is used efficiently, and project timelines stay intact. NeuWave founder Jana Stella says, “We’re here to help ensure the success of offshore construction and maintenance, even through uncertain conditions.
“By the end of 2025 we’ll have completed 5 expansive trials with multinational companies, proving how our deep learning analysis and high-resolution data can de-risk decision making (and save money) in offshore development and operations.”
Precise offshore wave data is essential to planning, executing and maintaining offshore projects. Neuwave’s new independent source for validated wave data is designed to act as a single point of reference throughout an offshore asset’s lifecycle.
For planning and retrospective insurance claims, NeuWave powers weather window analysis and site characterisation reports designed for insurance underwriters, loss adjusters, marine warranty surveyors, and asset developers.
To execute an offshore project, NeuWave provides interactive daily go/no-go decision tools for vessel coordinators, captains and asset managers. Site-specific wave data is also available via API to model hardware performance for consultancies and engineering firms.
