Ocean data enterprise XOCEAN has been awarded a contract to perform geophysical survey operations in support of a 2.2 GW marine link project in the United Kingdom.

The offshore survey campaign is scheduled to commence during the current month, utilizing two of the company's uncrewed surface vessels (USVs) to carry out the operations.

The uncrewed vessels will gather geophysical data across the designated marine area, providing the necessary seabed information for the high-capacity energy link infrastructure.

The deployment underscores the continued integration of autonomous surface platforms into commercial offshore survey operations and subsea cable corridor planning.
