Member News: Miros strengthens real-time ocean insights portfolio with full acquisition of Miros Mocean

Miros AS is pleased to announce a significant milestone in its strategic growth by acquiring full ownership of Miros Mocean AS.

The acquisition enhances Miros’ ability to provide cutting-edge real-time ocean insights, benefiting all relevant market segments, including commercial shipping.

As of September 2024, Miros acquired all remaining shares in Miros Mocean from its joint venture partners, BW Group and Copenhagen Commercial Platform (CCP).

Miros Mocean will continue to operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of Miros, under the leadership of CEO Marius Five Aarset.

“The full integration of Miros Mocean into Miros allows us to further consolidate and optimize our portfolio of vessel performance services,” said Mr Aarset. “Our strengthened offering will provide even greater value to customers and partners across the maritime industry.”

Miros focuses on enhancing the real-time understanding of how weather affects vessel performance, enabling operators to make safe and informed decisions. By digitizing local ocean conditions, Miros uses reliably measured – not derived – data, for an accurate overview of vessel performance and efficiency in real-time, throughout the lifetime of a vessel.

Mr Aarset added: “The alignment between Miros and Miros Mocean reinforces our commitment to delivering industry-leading ocean insights that enhance vessel performance and fuel efficiency while increasing maritime safety and sustainability. We focus on our client’s evolving needs by providing innovative solutions, including wave and current measurements from the industry-recognized product Wavex, vessel performance indicators with VTI, and safety monitoring with Anti-Roll assistant.”

Miros would like to extend its gratitude to BW Group and CCP for their invaluable cooperation in growing Miros Mocean and its portfolio of services to its current stage.

AREG is the original energy transition organisation, working on behalf of members to empower the energy supply chain and champion its expertise. Please get in touch if you have any questions or would like to find out more about membership.

AREG has played an important role in the growth of Scotland’s renewable energy sector, engaging the supply chain and developing the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. However, we are only at the very beginning of the transition that AREG was established to both lead and support so there are still opportunities for companies to get into the constantly evolving renewables supply chain. We look forward to continuing our work together as renewables builds on its place as Scotland’s main source of power, and as we seek to deliver real change in the crucial areas of heat and transport.

Aberdeen & Grampian Chamber of Commerce has worked closely with AREG since its formation. The recent progress in the developments of offshore wind projects by Equinor and Vattenfall are as a result of the work of the group over many years. The north-east is known as the oil and gas capital of Europe. At the Chamber, we believe the region must evolve its position to being recognised as the energy capital. Whilst hydrocarbons will continue to be essential in driving our economy for years to come, the generation of renewable resources will play an increasingly important role in providing cost-effective power, innovative development and economic growth.

The enthusiasm and dedication of the early group that would become AREG was fundamental in us choosing to launch All-Energy in Aberdeen. The first tiny show was held in 2001, and AREG’s Chairman at the time, Jeremy Cresswell, played such an active role that I often describe him in terms such as All-Energy’s ‘midwife’. All-Energy is now the UK’s largest renewable and low carbon energy exhibition and conference in terms of number of attendees, space booked, and number of exhibiting companies. As AREG became firmly established, their presence and support for the event grew spectacularly over the years. We thank them most sincerely for their invaluable input.

Vattenfall has forged a strong working relationship with AREG through the development of the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. AREG has worked tirelessly on behalf of the North East and it can take enormous credit for the growth of sustainable energy in the region and the path it has cleared for the region to capture further investment.

Aberdeen City and Shire is emerging as a key location for renewables by successfully transferring its world-class oil and gas expertise into the sector and AREG has done much to advance this through a broad range of initiatives. It has acted as a catalyst in driving further investment in the local economy by engaging with companies, Government, public bodies and existing projects and we have been pleased to support their efforts. Scottish Enterprise will continue to engage with AREG as we increase Scotland’s use of renewable energy.
