About Us

Engineering Service Provider :

The ocean environment is inherently challenging, with everything in the ocean having to contend with formidable forces of wind, waves, and currents. The complexity is heightened by the fact that multiple assets often work in tandem, interconnected by mechanical components. At Inventocean, we specialize in engineering these intricate marine scenarios. Before you deploy your assets into the harsh ocean environment, we develop intricate computer models of these interconnected assets and conduct advanced marine simulations in ocean environments. By thoroughly analyzing their behavior in marine settings, we offer cost-effective and innovative solutions, identify favorable weather windows, and, if necessary, recommend measures to reinforce the assets. Our engineering approach is driven by the goal of de-risking your valuable marine projects.
