PROFILE

Blue Ocean Marine Tech Systems is recognised globally as an early mover in new innovative marine data collection techniques, enabled by autonomous underwater vehicles.

Blue Ocean Marine Tech Systems’ parent company, Blue Ocean Monitoring, was established with the vision that autonomous systems will play a leading role in the future of offshore operations, we work with global partners to maximise tactical advantage, minimise risk, increase efficiency and reduce environmental impact through the use of cutting edge autonomous technology.

The solutions we have developed, enabled by autonomous underwater vehicles, matched with our innovative control systems meet industry needs for low cost, low impact, and persistent deployment of marine data collection systems.

We are working towards driving data collection costs down with the added benefit of near real-time data delivery, through a fleet of enhanced autonomous underwater vehicles.

  • Rapidly evolving from research to imminent commercialisation

    • Blue Ocean Seismic Services joint venture has been created by Blue Ocean, bp ventures and Woodside to commercialise Blue Ocean intellectual property for marine seismic surveys

    • Initially targeting ocean bottom seismic surveys, the Blue Ocean Seismic Services technology will provide cost savings over existing methods

    • End user customers such as the offshore energy sector will realise additional benefits in health and safety (smaller crews) and environmental footprint reduction (fewer ship hours)

    • There is strong engagement and interest from other energy majors outside the JV partners

    • Final demonstrator-scale testing under way

  • Set up to repeat early success

    • Potential to expand current service lines to marine environment surveying and maritime defence applications as marine data collection costs fall significantly through our technology, increasing potential end users and markets

    • The Blue Ocean Marine Tech Systems Research and Development focus is structured to deliver new technologies and IP for underwater data collection with a repeatable joint venture partner process

  • Distributor for Sofar Ocean Technologies

    Blue Ocean Marine Tech Systems is the Australian distributor for SOFAR Ocean Technologies. The SOFAR Spotter Wave Buoy is a turnkey marine sensing device which gathers wave, wind, sea surface temperature, and barometric pressure data.

    Spotter provides instant, and accurate visibility of ocean conditions and with 24 hour satellite and mobile connectivity, it provides access to real-time weather data and system updates at any time.

    Mobile-enabled over-the-air firmware allows for simple, new feature and capability updates.

    About the size of a basketball, Spotter can be shipped anywhere in the world, carried by hand, and deployed from any size vessel.
