Turning the Tide: How SensFish Is Powering Better Maritime Investment and ESG Decisions

Financial institutions are sharpening their focus on climate risk, ESG disclosures, and sustainable investment. At the same time supply chains, shipping emissions and biodiversity-linked investment products, are increasingly on the balance sheet but reliable, decision-ready data has been hard to come by.

The Challenge: Ocean Impact, Low Visibility

Financial stakeholders are under pressure to assess the environmental impact and transition readiness of companies operating in ocean-related sectors. Yet data on maritime carbon emissions, biodiversity, and regulatory compliance remains fragmented, inconsistent, or inaccessible, making it difficult to price risk accurately, validate sustainability claims, or identify new opportunities.

The Solution: Ocean Intelligence for Finance

SensFish delivers a scenario-led analytics platform that turns open, maritime-specific data into actionable intelligence. The solution integrates historical, real-time, and predictive datasets such as satellite tracking, vessel surveillance, and ecosystem modelling. By doing so,  SensFish enables users to:

• Quantify and forecast carbon impact across maritime supply chains (including sequestration potential and emissions),
• Verify compliance with sustainability standards (e.g. reducing IUU fishing via vessel monitoring),
• Support biodiversity-linked investments through monitoring of wild fish stocks and aquaculture patterns,
• De-risk projects by modelling scenarios for ESG outcomes, operational constraints, and regulatory exposure.

All this is delivered in a user-friendly platform that simplifies complex data and aligns with global Net Zero and ocean disclosure frameworks, turning compliance into strategy and reporting into opportunity.

SensFish’s traction is growing. In the past year, the company has:

• Been selected for the European Space Agency Business Incubation Programme,
• Partnered with UNCTAD and presented at the Monaco Ocean Finance Forum, part of the UN Ocean Conference,
• Joined the Innovate UK InvestAbility programme and Converge Net Zero cohort,
• Secured support from Glasgow City Council and received international investor interest,
• Onboarded a publicly listed UK client with global operations.

These milestones reflect a rising demand for deeper ocean intelligence among forward-looking financial institutions and corporates alike.
