Ocean Scientific International Ltd
Designs and manufactures marine monitoring, oceanographic, and survey equipment for offshore and environmental applications.
Ocean Scientific International Ltd designs and manufactures integrated systems for environmental monitoring in marine environments, ranging from shallow coastal waters to full ocean depth. Its work centres on instrumented data buoy systems, telemetry, and other monitoring platforms used to collect real-time and recorded oceanographic and environmental data. The company supplies freshwater buoy platforms for rivers and lakes too, so its monitoring systems are not limited to seawater applications. A major part of the business is the supply of marine measurement instruments and sensors for standalone use or for integration onto its own platforms. Its oceanographic instruments include CTDs, current meters, wave and weather sensors, multiparameter sondes, hydrocarbon monitoring equipment, and related mounting and multiplexer hardware. OSIL's systems are adaptable and can be tailored to customer requirements, with custom moorings, remote telemetry, seabed mounting frames, and data acquisition and display components. The company develops and supplies marine robotics and underwater vehicles, extending its capabilities beyond fixed monitoring platforms. Sampling is another core part of the business. OSIL offers water column sampling equipment, seabed sampling equipment, sediment corers and grabs, seabed cameras, sample processing and analysis, and rental equipment. Those sampling systems work from shallow water to full ocean depth and may include launch and recovery systems. Alongside equipment, the company provides bespoke design, implementation, installation, training, and ongoing support for systems worldwide. OSIL has a distinct role in seawater standards and salinity measurement. It operates the IAPSO Standard Seawater Service and supplies seawater standards and salinometers, alongside accessories. Service and calibration are part of the business as well, including instrument calibration and support for the systems it supplies. The company combines scientific and engineering expertise with manufacturing, shipping, installation, calibration, and customer support, serving marine and freshwater environmental monitoring needs across applications such as coastal monitoring, oil spill monitoring, dredging, offshore engineering, renewables, ports and harbours, defence, and meteorology.
