Without in-house capability, it can be difficult to manage your metocean survey requirements, it may even be difficult to know where to start. We can manage all aspects for you, supporting safe campaigns with high volumes of excellent quality metocean data that meet your project’s requirements.

Having significant, direct experience of data acquisition and many years working with suppliers to deliver metocean campaigns across the globe, we have the perspective to balance both client requirements and supplier needs. Delivery safely, to quality and budgetary metrics is something that is enhanced with insight of both sides to the contracting partnership.

A transactional contracting process can lead to sub-optimal delivery (although contractual boundaries are absolutely necessary), With experience both on the back deck of vessels and working with suppliers globally, we understand the needs of clients and suppliers, which helps facilitate mutually effective delivery.

With experience in defining, managing and delivering metocean measurements since 1992, we bring decades of expertise to every project. From installation of onshore meteorological stations to deployment of moorings in 3,000m water depths.

Helping you identify the key risks in your data acquisition specification can be the start of our support. At COS, we manage the areas core to delivery of a successful metocean campaign. We can work with your technical development team, with metocean engineers, or directly with your procurement organisation.

Training for your staff on topics such as metocean measurements, tender evaluation, planning for metocean campaigns, health and safety, back-deck operations, remote location working, and instrument specification.
Our approach is built on partnership. We understand what it takes to deliver project-critical metocean data and aim to become an extension of your team. From the basic essentials such as an efficient review of technical specifications, through to the multi-month delivery of a metocean campaign, we can support your organisation.
