Offshore Sensing AS is a marine robotics company based in Norway and the developer of the Sailbuoy, a long‑endurance unmanned surface vehicle (USV) designed for ocean applications. The Sailbuoy’s patent‑pending design enables autonomous navigation and continuous data transmission over extended periods at sea. It serves as a versatile platform for measuring ocean and atmospheric parameters, tracking oil spills, and acting as a communication relay for subsea instrumentation. The Sailbuoy is application‑based, allowing integration of different sensors to meet varied operational needs. In 2018, the Sailbuoy Met became the first unmanned surface vehicle to complete an Atlantic crossing. Deployed from Newfoundland, it sailed to Ireland in 80 days, covering a distance of 5,100 km.
