Marine Zero Launches MAP: A New Data-Driven Consulting Service for Vessel Electrification and Port Planning
Marine Zero is proud to announce the launch of MAP (Maritime Analytics Platform), a new consulting service designed to support the maritime sector in its transition to electrification and clean energy.
Built on real-world vessel data, predictive analytics, and machine learning, MAP is our proprietary digital platform which helps to solve one of the most pressing barriers to maritime decarbonisation: the lack of reliable, actionable insight into vessel behaviour, power use, and future energy demand.
MAP provides a comprehensive new way to analyse vessel performance data, enabling operators to define the specific power, energy, and charging requirements of an electric equivalent to their existing vessel or fleet.
“The sector is well aware of the need to decarbonise, but for many operators the barrier to action is knowing where to begin,” said Tim Munn, managing director at Marine Zero. “MAP gives them that starting point. It’s a smart, data-led tool that removes the guesswork from electrification planning.”
How MAP Works
MAP uses AIS data to build a detailed picture of how your vessels actually operate – identifying real-world route patterns, voyage durations, propulsion states, and load cycles. This operational insight forms the foundation for accurately assessing electrification potential.
From this profile, MAP calculates the technical system requirements for an electric equivalent vessel. Considerations include key factors such as energy storage capacity, peak propulsion power, and appropriate charging rates. MAP also evaluates how well current electric technologies and infrastructure align with the vessel’s duty cycle.
Delivered as a Custom Consultancy Report All findings are compiled into a tailored consultancy report that supports early-stage design and planning. The report includes:
· Technical system requirements
· Preliminary electric or hybrid design options
· Charging infrastructure needs
· High-level cost estimates and feasibility indicators
Why MAP Matters
As ports and operators face growing pressure to meet net zero targets, MAP provides a crucial tool to guide their electrification efforts. It supports feasibility assessments, funding applications, and design work for retrofits or new-build vessels.
Marine Zero is already deploying MAP in consulting projects across workboats, ferries, and port infrastructure planning. Get in touch today to begin your own energy mapping journey.
MAP de-risks the early stages of vessel decarbonisation by transforming operational data into clear, technical requirements. Whether you’re converting a single vessel, decarbonising your port or harbour, or building a roadmap for your fleet, MAP enables faster, smarter decision-making.”
