Reseach & Consultancy Support
World-class maritime data and specialist support for research and client projects.
Marine Benchmark works alongside universities, research institutions, consultancies and project consortia — providing the data foundation, modelling and hands-on support needed to move from question to defensible result.
Policy analysis
Regulatory studies
Global datasets
Emissions modelling
Trade flows
Scenario analysis
Institutional delivery
Partner collaboration
A trusted data partner for complex maritime work
Research and consultancy projects depend on data that can stand up to scrutiny — and on a partner that understands both the data and the maritime context around it.
Regulatory project experience
Experience from multiple regulatory and research projects across maritime data, modelling and impact assessment.
5-year framework agreement with IMO
A long-term framework agreement with the International Maritime Organization reflects the level of trust required for institutional and regulatory work.
Support throughout the project
Work with the same specialist partner from scoping and methodology through data delivery, modelling, interpretation and final outputs.
Trusted by organizations worldwide
IMO
UNCTAD
WSP - Ricardo
European commission
World Bank

Support where the project needs it
Start with a defined dataset or bring Marine Benchmark into the project as a specialist partner. We complement the research or consultancy team rather than replace it.
Research Data
Purpose-built historical, live and forward-looking datasets scoped around the research question, vessel population, geography, market or time period.
Data Intelligence & Modelling
Project-specific modelling, enrichment and analysis that turns maritime data into robust indicators, scenarios and evidence.
Consultancy Support
A specialist maritime data layer behind client work — supporting consultancies with defensible data, modelling and subject-matter support while they retain the client relationship and advisory role.
Project & Funding Partnerships
Participate in collaborative projects and funding applications with defined data, modelling, methodology and research work packages.
From project result to quantified impact
Go beyond showing that a technology, operational change or methodology works. Quantify where it applies and what the improvement could mean at scale.
Marine Benchmark can connect project findings to vessel characteristics, operating profiles, fleet structure, voyage activity, energy use, emissions and market context — allowing results from a test case or selected sample to be assessed across relevant vessel segments, markets or the global fleet.
Quantify the Effect
Measure changes in fuel, energy, emissions, utilisation, operating performance or other project-specific parameters.
Identify Applicability
Determine the vessel types, operating profiles, routes, geographies or markets where the result is relevant.
Scale the Outcome
Translate project findings into fleet-, market- or global-level impact and compare alternative adoption scenarios.
25-year maritime outlooks
Model how the world fleet — and the way it operates — may develop over the long term.
Using Marine Benchmark's world-fleet model, research and consultancy projects can build outlooks of up to 25 years. Fleet renewal, ageing, newbuildings, retirements, technology uptake and changes in fleet composition can be translated into future operational, energy, emissions and market parameters.
Fleet Evolution
Fleet size, mix, age profile, newbuilding, retirement and technology adoption.
Operational Outlook
Utilisation, speed, voyage activity and other operating parameters linked to the evolving fleet.
Energy & Emissions
Energy demand, fuel mix, consumption, emissions and efficiency pathways.
Scenario Testing
Compare technology, regulatory, adoption and operating assumptions against a consistent global baseline.
Connected maritime data across the project
Use a single Marine Benchmark domain or combine several when the project requires a broader evidence base.
Vessel Movement & Events
Positions, tracks, calls, voyages, predictions and operational activity.
Fleet & Market Intelligence
Fleet structure, utilisation, activity patterns and market development.
Energy, Emissions & Regulation
Energy demand, fuel, emissions, CII and regulatory exposure.
Risk & Compliance
Vessel risk, sanctions, ownership and geographic exposure.
Weather & Environment
Historical, current and forecast conditions connected to maritime activity.
Trade & Cargo Context
Cargo, trade flows and commercial context where relevant to the project.
A specialist partner behind the team
Marine Benchmark is designed to strengthen the work of researchers and consultants, not compete with it. We provide the maritime data foundation, modelling capability and practical support that lets the project team focus on the research question, client problem or policy challenge.
Our experience from research, regulatory and collaborative projects also feeds back into the platform, strengthening the models, methods and data capabilities available to the next project.
Scoping & Methodology
Help define the data universe, assumptions and analytical approach before the work begins.
Delivery & Iteration
Stay close to the project as questions evolve, datasets are refined and results are tested.
Interpretation & Validation
Support the team in understanding maritime patterns, model outputs, limitations and real-world implications.
Start with the project question.
