This collaboration involves modifying the Sailbuoy to accommodate the new sensor, ensuring optimal performance and precise data collection. The collaboration aims to create a cutting-edge solution that provides high-resolution, long-term measurements of CO2 fluxes between the ocean and the atmosphere, addressing current gaps in ocean observation. The project pushes the boundaries of autonomous data collection by combining Exeter’s expertise in CO2 measurement with Offshore Sensing’s proven platform. *“Developing new sensor technology is crucial for advancing autonomous ocean observations. These sensors expand the range of unmanned applications and significantly lower operational costs and emissions, making ocean monitoring more efficient and sustainable.” Max Hartvigsen, CEO of Offshore Sensing, states.* Offshore Sensing’s co-owner and close research partner, [NORCE](https://www.norceresearch.no/en/), is a technology partner of the Horizon Europe-funded project [GEORGE](https://george-project.eu/), which develops novel technologies to improve ocean observations.  🔗 [Learn more about the GEORGE project here](https://george-project.eu/2024/06/03/charting-new-waters-how-new-technologies-are-drastically-improving-autonomous-ocean-observations/) ![Skjermbilde-2025-02-17-kl.-14.33.14-768x498](https://sailbuoy.no/hs-fs/hubfs/Website%20assets/Blog%20images/Skjermbilde-2025-02-17-kl.-14.33.14-768x498.webp?width=768&height=498&name=Skjermbilde-2025-02-17-kl.-14.33.14-768x498.webp)   ### Related Articles ##### [![DeepTech Alliance Utility 2025 Program](https://sailbuoy.no/hs-fs/hubfs/deeptech.webp?width=520&height=294&name=deeptech.webp) News • December 12, 2025 DeepTech Alliance Utility 2025 Program](https://sailbuoy.no/news/deeptech-alliance-utility-2025-program) ##### [![Uncrewed Surface Vessels (USV)](https://sailbuoy.no/hs-fs/hubfs/Images%20and%20banners/SB1.png?width=520&height=294&name=SB1.png) News • November 6, 2025 Uncrewed Surface Vessels (USV)](https://sailbuoy.no/news/uncrewed-surface-vessels-usv) ##### [![The Power of Autonomous Ocean Observation](https://sailbuoy.no/hs-fs/hubfs/Skjermbilde-2025-03-25-kl.-13.47.48-768x550.webp?width=520&height=294&name=Skjermbilde-2025-03-25-kl.-13.47.48-768x550.webp) News • September 17, 2025 The Power of Autonomous Ocean Observation](https://sailbuoy.no/news/the-power-of-autonomous-ocean-observation) [![Offshore Sensing\_original\_logo\_fixed](https://sailbuoy.no/hubfs/Logo%20and%20Icons/Offshore%20Sensing_original_logo_fixed.svg)](https://sailbuoy.no) - [Book meeting](https://sailbuoy.no/contact) - [Build your Sailbuoy](https://sailbuoy.no/unmanned-surface-vessels) - [Explained by Offshore Sensing](https://sailbuoy.no/explained-by-offshore-sensing) - [Resources](https://sailbuoy.no/resources) Offshore Sensing AS Sandslimarken 31 5254 Sandsli, Norway   [Crowdworks Company Profile](https://app.crowdworks.it/companies/offshore-sensing/update) ©2026 Offshore Sensing AS.
