Offshore Sensing

Offshore Sensing is a marine robotics company and the home of the Sailbuoy. The Sailbuoy is a long-endurance Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) for the oceans. The Sailbuoy's patent-pending design and technology allow it to stay at sea for months, navigate the oceans autonomously, and transmit data regularly. The Sailbuoy is a versatile data collection platform that serves various ocean applications. From measuring ocean and atmospheric parameters to tracking oil spills, it can act as a communication relay station for subsea instrumentation, showcasing its adaptability and potential. In 2018, the SailBuoy Met was the first-ever unmanned surface vehicle to complete an Atlantic crossing. After 80 days at sea, she has finally arrived at the finish line. Deployed in Newfoundland, she has travelled to Ireland, sailing a total of 5100 km to cover the 3000 km stretch.
