More than 350 world-leading manufacturers and service providers shaping the future of ocean science and technology have booked space at the sold-out show, which runs from April 8–10, 2025, at the National Oceanography Centre in Southampton.
The three-day event is open to all visitors for free by registering online at www.oceanbusiness.com.
This year’s Ocean Business, inside the expanded exhibition halls and featuring a program of training and demonstrations on the dockside, onboard vessels, and in the classroom, is expected to attract record crowds from around the world.
Visitors will be able to see the latest developments in transformational ocean technology, from autonomous vehicle underwater monitoring to next-generation ROVs, ground-breaking advances in sensor technology, and much more.
Among the highlights this year, ecoSUB Robotics, a division of Planet Ocean, will present its range of advanced, affordable, low logistics AUVs, deployed in ocean research, offshore energy, and defense markets, and currently supporting the Nippon Foundation’s initiative to map the entire ocean floor by 2030.
Sonardyne will provide insights into its recently launched shallow water dynamic positioning reference system, which joins the SPRINT-Nav family, the standard for underwater vehicle navigation worldwide.
European leader in naval navigation, Exail, will highlight its advanced systems offering precise navigation, safe operations, and real-time data acquisition, delivering reliable performance from surface missions to ultra-deep waters.
Norwegian underwater instrumentation pioneer Norbit Subsea, meanwhile, will introduce the WBMS X, the latest addition to its innovative multibeam sonar family, designed with ultimate flexibility to tackle the most complex survey challenges.
And from the US, Greensea IQ, a leader in subsea robotics and defense solutions, is showcasing its Bayonet 250 amphibious underwater ground vehicle deployed by the US Marine Corps for safer and more effective explosive ordnance disposal operations.
Other familiar big-name suppliers, including Teledyne Marine, Kongsberg Discovery, and Nortek, will be out in force alongside newer entrants to the industry to preview emerging technologies in this fast-changing space.
Cheri Arvonio, Event Director at show organizer Diversified Communications, said: “Ocean Business 2025 will bring together ocean technology trailblazers from across the world for three days of exciting product launches, innovation, and ideas.
