As coastlines face increasingly severe weather events, erosion, and storm surge, real estate, infrastructure and communities are exposed to severe financial volatility. Current global cat risk and climate models do not provide the resolution, accuracy or flexibility to quantify and forecast physical risk, thus limiting the utility for scenario analysis and decision-making.
Ocean Ledger is a spin-out from the German Aerospace Centre, founded in January 2024. After eight years of research and development, we have built a unique geospatial tech stack that maps and analyses coastline change across space and time and quantifies existing defences. We leverage these precise coastline insights to help asset-owners, insurers, and brokers reduce uncertainty in their assessment of storm surge, erosion and sea-level rise risk. This enables 'what if' scenario analysis to reduce and monitor exposure over time, minimising the need for physical surveys and revealing the key drivers of coastal change, supporting both engineered and nature-based resilience strategies.
At Ocean Ledger, we believe natural defences are our best asset against storm surge and sea-level rise. While there have been successful studies quantifying natural flood defences, we can do so scalably and reliably with our satellite-derived products for natural capital accounting.
We combine expertise across data science, coastal remote sensing, and financial services to deliver state-of-the-art models and insights that lower the barrier for robust coastal mitigation & adaptation efforts.
