Geosciences:
Delivering deeper insight
and solutions for offshore projects
Geoscience expertise
At Global Maritime, we offer fully integrated geoscience solutions across offshore wind, energy, subsea cables, and transmission sectors. By combining geophysics, engineering geology, subsea cables expertise, Geomatics, and geotechnical engineering, we deliver deeper insights, faster decisions, and more robust designs.
From shoreline to water depths beyond 3,000 metres, we support clients through the entire project lifecycle – from early feasibility assessments to final installation, our geoscientists are present at every step of the project.
Integrated geoscience support for offshore development:
Seabed Intelligence Report (SIR)
Our Seabed Intelligence Reports integrate geology, geohazard and geotechnical analysis, mapping and risk assessment to support offshore wind developers in early-phase site evaluation.
Anchoring Design and Studies
We deliver geotechnical-led anchoring solutions, supported by integrated geosciences. Our expertise spans renewables, aquaculture, and oil & gas – ensuring safe, efficient seabed interaction.
Subsea Cable Route Design and Engineering
From FEED to detailed EPCI design, we engineer export and inter-array cable routing with focus on risk reduction. Our team addresses route complexity, soil variability, and emerging threats – including sabotage resilience.
Field Concept Studies
We conduct early-phase feasibility assessments that bring together geotechnical, geological, geophysical, and GIS inputs. These studies help define layout strategies, construction methods, and engineering viability.
Ground Modelling
We build detailed 3D ground models to inform foundation and cable design. This integrated approach improves predictability and supports engineering decision-making, particularly in offshore wind.
Survey Design and Support
We design and optimise geophysical and geotechnical survey campaigns to maximise data quality and operational efficiency – tailored to each phase of the project.
Owner’s Engineering and Advisory
We act as an extension to your team – providing independent oversight across all geoscience disciplines – ensuring quality, compliance, and value throughout the project lifecycle.
Integrated expertise, smarter outcomes
Our strength lies in our ability to unite disciplines. With close collaboration across all geoscience specialisms, we build detailed ground models, inform smarter routing, and drive effective anchoring and foundation design.
This integrated approach is supported by our in-house software tools. These tools aren’t just software — they’re project enablers that streamline delivery, improve data transparency, and solve real-world challenges.
Trusted by clients throughout the project lifecycle, they are shared with clients as part of our deliverables, ensuring seamless communication and efficient project execution by our in-house developed software tools.
WebGIS
Built for collaboration. Our bespoke WebGIS platform makes sharing integrated ground models seamless—combining spatial data, geological insight, and custom tools in one interactive, cloud-based solution.
Survey Management Platform (SMP)
Our Survey Management Platform connects survey planning, forecasting, operation data, progress, and reporting. It enhances project visibility, improves data integrity, and supports safer, more efficient marine operations from planning through execution.
Our key disciplines within
Geosciences include:
Geophysics
From survey design to full site characterisation, we turn complex data into high-resolution subsurface insight – de-risking offshore developments.
Engineering Geology
Ground-truth for offshore design. We interpret ground conditions to guide safe, buildable solutions, bridging data and design with clarity and confidence.
Subsea Cables
End-to-end inter-array and export cables expertise. From route engineering to installation oversight. Our designs address technical risk, challenging soil conditions, and external threats.
Geomatics
Integrates spatial data across disciplines to drive smarter planning, visualisation, and decision-making. Our in-house developed software tools and mapping solutions boost project efficiency from lease to decommissioning.
Geotechnical Engineering
Grounded in precision. We deliver site-specific solutions for foundation design, anchoring systems, and cable burial strategies. Combining offshore experience with advanced analysis to reduce risk and increase reliability.
Seabed Intelligence Report (SIR)
Our Seabed Intelligence Reports integrate geology, geohazard and geotechnical analysis, mapping, and risk assessment to support offshore wind developers in early-phase site evaluation, designed to accelerate decision-making and reduce uncertainty during the leasing and concept development stages.
The SIRs cover over 134,000 km² of potential lease areas worldwide, including, Portugal, UK North Sea, Celtic Sea, Irish Sea, Finland, Japan and the Gulf of Maine.
