Offshore Sensing AS has selected Neil Brown Ocean Sensors’ (NBOSI’s) conductivity-temperature (CT) sensor to enhance the capabilities of the latest Sailbuoy unmanned surface vessels.

Founded in 2004, NBOSI has been at the forefront of designing and supplying CTD sensors to the global subsea market. These sensors cater to the specific needs of autonomous underwater and surface ocean vehicles, serving a wide range of sectors, including research, offshore operations, survey and defense.

Established in 2014 as a spin-off from Christian Michelsen Research, Offshore Sensing AS specializes in developing Sailbuoys for various ocean applications, including wave measurement and water quality monitoring. The Sailbuoy autonomously navigates the oceans, transmitting crucial data at regular intervals. Field-proven for extended periods at sea, including the first trans-Atlantic crossing by an unmanned surface vehicle, according to the company, the Sailbuoy is a solution for measuring ocean parameters, tracking oil spills, and acting as a communication relay station for subsea instrumentation.
