From Assurance to Innovation – Evolving Marine Consultancy at Waves Group
For more than two decades, Waves Group has been trusted by clients across the shipping and offshore energy sectors to provide expert support during some of their most complex and high-stakes operations. Known for our independence, technical rigour and rapid response capability, we have made our name in Marine Warranty Survey (MWS) assignments, casualty attendances, and expert investigation roles around the world.
Today, that experience underpins a wider and more integrated consultancy offering, one that delivers a full spectrum of marine engineering and project support services from concept to completion.
Rooted in Real Operations
Our foundation in MWS and shipping consultancy has given us unparalleled exposure to real-world marine operations. From managing risk in offshore wind farm installations to attending vessel casualties and complex cargo incidents, we’ve built deep insight into the challenges our clients face every day.
This hands-on expertise enables us to go beyond advisory roles. We understand the pressure points, commercial, operational, environmental and apply that knowledge to help clients plan, design and execute with confidence.
Engineering Certainty in a Changing World
With the energy transition, evolving ESG standards, and increasingly complex maritime infrastructure projects, clients need more than assurance, they need smart, adaptive engineering solutions. Waves Group has responded to this shift by growing our team of naval architects, marine engineers, structural specialists and maritime civil engineers, backed by in-house digital capability and software development.
Our comprehensive service offerings now span:
- Naval Architecture & Structural Engineering
- 3D Subsea Scanning & Geospatial Surveys
- Maritime Digital Data & Software Development
- Port & Terminal Engineering
- Offshore Decommissioning & Renewables Support
- Casualty Response & Fire/Hazmat Investigations
- Energy Use & Emissions Reduction Consultancy
Whether it’s solving a subsea integrity issue, optimising port infrastructure, or investigating the structural failure of a vessel, we bring the same clarity of purpose to every assignment: reduce risk, deliver value, and ensure safe outcomes.
Global Footprint, Independent Thinking
From our London HQ and offices in Singapore, Houston, Southampton, Scotland and Rotterdam, we deliver projects across EMEA, the Americas, and APAC. We are proudly independent, free from shareholder pressure, allowing us to focus solely on what’s right for our clients.
Our client base is as diverse as the projects we support, from offshore wind developers and port operators to insurers, government bodies and legal firms. Each benefits from the cross-sector insight and engineering precision that define Waves Group.
Looking Ahead
As we continue to evolve, our mission remains clear: to be the trusted advisor that clients turn to when certainty matters most. We’re combining our deep marine heritage with advanced engineering and digital capability to support the future of shipping, offshore energy and marine infrastructure, safer, smarter, and more sustainably.
