Mission
Turn marine data into reliable technical decisions
We support clients from project definition to validated delivery, applying reproducible methodologies, the right sensors and expert judgement at every phase.
About us
More than a data vendor: your technical partner
Bilbao-based geospatial company specialised in hydrographic and marine geophysical data. We support operators, engineering firms and public administrations on critical marine projects.
Who we are
A technical company born from offshore experience
World Mapping Solutions was born to fill a real market gap: senior technical teams capable of making decisions during the campaign, not only delivering data at project close.
Our team combines decades of experience in hydrography, marine geophysics, oceanography, biology and land mapping. We have worked on Oil & Gas, offshore wind, dredging, bionomic mapping, UXO and underwater cable & pipeline routing on international projects.
We operate as a technical extension of the client: judgement during design, rigour offshore and traceable results on delivery. Wherever data needs interpretation, we are there.
Vision
To be a worldwide technical reference partner
We aim to be the team you call when a marine project demands technical judgement, operational reliability and global responsiveness — without depending on a single manufacturer or a single technology.
Approach
How we work
We don't sell sensor days: we sell auditable results. These are the principles we apply on every project.
- We define scope with you: the what, how and why of every sensor and every processing workflow.
- We work sensor-agnostic: we choose the best technology for your case, not the one with the best margin for us.
- We apply QC at every phase, not just at the end. Issues are caught onboard, not in the office.
- We document everything: metadata, configurations, decisions and traceable deliverables.
- We provide continuous support: remote operations center + offshore crews in any time zone.
- We transfer knowledge to the client team — we don't hoard it.
Differentiators
What makes us different
Real seniority
The professional designing the project is the same one supervising it offshore.
In-house R&D
Technology developed in-house (FotoBati, automated LiDAR workflows) when commercial tools fall short.
Technical independence
We are not a manufacturer reseller. We validate sensors in the field, including the official CHCNAV ones.
Global coverage
Operations center in Bilbao + international offshore deployment capability.
