Neil Brown Ocean Sensors (NBOSI), a leading provider of innovative marine technology solutions, is delighted that Offshore Sensing AS has selected NBOSI's Conductivity-Temperature (CT) Sensor to enhance the capabilities of their latest SailBuoy unmanned surface vessels.

Founded in 2004, NBOSI has been at the forefront of designing and supplying CTD (Conductivity-Temperature-Depth) 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.

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, the SailBuoy is a solution for measuring ocean parameters, tracking oil spills, and acting as a communication relay station for subsea instrumentation.

“We are delighted to continue our relationship with Offshore Sensing AS and contribute to the success of their SailBuoy unmanned surface vessel. NBOSI’s commitment to creating accurate, reliable sensors aligns seamlessly with the innovative technologies employed by Offshore Sensing AS,” said Dave Fratantoni, CEO at NBOSI. “Our sensors have decades of field application, and we are confident in their ability to enhance mission performance.”

Commenting on the collaboration, David Peddie, Chief Technology Officer at Offshore Sensing AS stated, “NBOSI sensors enable the SailBuoy to deliver accurate and reliable temperature and salinity data for our customers.”
