About XOCEAN

XOCEAN is an ocean data company – we collect data for clients ranging from mapping the seabed to monitoring the environment. However, we do this differently, instead of using conventional crewed survey ships, we have developed a marine robotic system known as an Uncrewed Surface Vessel (USV). XOCEAN is an impact-led carbon neutral company. Our mission is to unlock the power of the ocean with insight, for a better tomorrow.
