Tidewise Engenharia e Servicos Navais LTDA

Founded in 2016 and based in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Tidewise Engenharia e Servicos Navais LTDA operates as a transportation service that develops integrated intelligent robotic systems to address the needs of the naval industry in river, port, or maritime environments. Rafael Coelho and Sylvain Joyeux are the co-founders of the company. In October 2023, TideWise raised USD 1. 9 in venture funding from MSW Capital, including Acumuladores Moura SA, AgeRio, BB Seguros, and Embraer.

The company’s clients and partners include Petrobras, Shell, Eiva, The Ocean Cleanup, Emgepron, Elia Group, TechnipFMC, and others. The company specializes in creating, integrating, and managing TideWise, an intelligent robotic system designed to meet the needs of port, river, and maritime environments. The firm's robot delivers reliable and consistent data collection capabilities, ensures precision, and improves safety by reducing human error and eliminating the need for workers at sea. TideWise's products include autonomous vessels and integrated technologies, including the USV tupan, the wisecontrol system for vessel autonomy, the USV suppressor, and the ROV revolution.

The company’s solutions include marine site characterization, asset inspection, smart data, logistics, and defence. These solutions improve data collection and human life safety standards during sea operations while also reducing air and noise pollution. The organization plans to use the October 2023 funding to speed up its growth, meet rising demand for naval services technology, and expand its operations.
