Built for Excellence in Metocean Delivery

At COS, we are passionate about delivery of safe, high quality, high data volume metocean campaigns.

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.

Why Choose COS?

Dual Perspective

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.

Proven Experience

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.

Comprehensive Support

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.

“Wherever you have a need for metocean data acquisition, we would be happy to hold an informal meeting to discuss how best COS can support you.”
