Ocean Geophysics, HighTide Team Up for Offshore Data Processing
Offshore wind industry suppliers Ocean Geophysics and HighTide have entered into a joint venture aimed at combining their seabed data processing, analysis and interpretation capabilities.The partnership brings together Ocean Geophysics’ large-scale geophysical data processing with HighTide’s high-resolution seabed interpretation and asset-level analysis, targeting offshore wind, cable and pipeline installation, and oil and gas projects.Seabed data processing plays a critical role in offshore wind development, informing site selection, foundation design, array layout and safety assessments.
Saildrone Maps Cayman Islands EEZ
of Saildrone’s co-developed, inductively charged AML Oceanographics SVP system, designed for remote operation and long-duration endurance. The ability to execute 900+ SVP casts without manual intervention ensured consistent data accuracy across the mission.The team also refined cloud-based data processing workflows, enabling preliminary products to be reviewed during the mission rather than months later. Combined with persistent satellite connectivity, this approach shortened the feedback loop, improved QC, and ensured that the Cayman Government and the UK Hydrographic Office (UKHO) would receive
At the Helm of the UKHO
currentsThe UKHO boasts a rich and longstanding history of providing trusted navigational charts and information for more than 230 years. To date, 90% of ships trading internationally rely on the UKHO's ADMIRALTY products. In 2024, the UKHO received and processed 123 terabytes of bathymetric survey data, collected through partnerships with over 120 other hydrographic offices across the globe and over 250 ports in the UK and Ireland."This collective effort enables us to produce the 20,000 Electronic Navigational Charts (ENCs) that are currently in service via our ADMIRALTY Vector Chart Service

Oceaneering Upgrades Survey Vessel for Simultaneous Autonomous Missions
survey work, has been outfitted with new navigation systems, hull-mounted sensors, cloud-enabled data infrastructure, and a modernized engine room.The upgrade includes a dedicated Launch and Recovery System (LARS) for autonomous platforms and integration with Microsoft Azure for real-time data processing.“The Ocean Intervention II provides a step change in survey data acquisition productivity with the ability to simultaneously collect AUV, towed geophysical, and geotechnical data. We’re excited to offer this enhanced capability to our clients,” said Peter Buchanan, Senior Director
Sonardyne to Deliver Seabed Monitoring Kit for North Sea CCS Project
and Funding in Place for UK’s First Offshore CCS ProjectMonitoring of the site will begin in the summer of 2026 to provide baseline data for a duration of two years before the transportation and storage of captured CO2 starts.The seabed landers will be equipped with Sonardyne’s Edge data processing application, power management and acoustic through-water communications to enable long-term, remote battery-operated deployment.Each lander will also contain a suite of hardware including Sonardyne’s Origin 600 ADCP, Wavefront’s passive sonar array and multiple third-party sensors
Voyis Launches Deep Vision Optics for Underwater Imaging
feature and target detection, supporting machine learning applications with reliable automated analysis. Enhanced corner sharpness improves stability in photogrammetry and VSLAM processes, while higher depth of field ensures accurate photogrammetry, reducing manual intervention and accelerating data processing for faster, more reliable survey results.Deep Vision Optics represents a significant leap forward in underwater imaging technology, empowering operators with the tools needed to conduct more precise, efficient, and automated subsea inspections. Voyis remains committed to advancing the field
IQUA Robotics: SPARUS II AUV Tackles Multimodal Mapping for Exploration and Inspection
enable it to operate in challenging maritime conditions for a full workday. This small-class AUV can reach a maximum depth of 200 meters and can be easily operated from a variety of vessels by a team of two people.Available software tools simplify mission planning, monitoring, and rapid data processing, allowing users to quickly analyze the AUV’s findings while it remains on the surface, ready for the next mission. Alternatively, real-time data processing can be performed onboard, directly linking environment exploration with inspection tasks when a target is automatically detected.
