Projects

Cyprus Subsea blends academic and technical expertise with seagoing and survey experience. We contribute to scientific research as well as commercial and governmental projects around the world. Our collective experience with international scientific research, engineering marine projects, and seagoing experience makes CSCS a unique company.

We specialize in marine robotics and autonomous systems. Cyprus Subsea serves the public and private sector with custom system integration, equipment maintenance, rentals, and official resales as well as data collection, analysis, and reporting services.

CliN-BluFeed The CliN-Blue Feed Project aims to build on the BioGlider technological integrations for underwater vehicles to develop methodologies to advance the Norwegian Sea Calanus fishery as a climate-neutral blue resource for the aquaculture industry. Project partners are harnessing the potential of cutting-edge, autonomous marine monitoring technologies coupled with remote sensing, artificial intelligence (AI), simulation modelling, and experimental investigations. View project TechOceanS The TechOceanS Project aims to create new technology for underwater vehicles to support ocean conservation and monitoring. The TechOceanS Project’s unique and encompassing approach engages scientists, marine stakeholders and policy makers. Overall, the project advances our collective understanding of essential ocean variables in support of a healthier ocean! View project

BIOGLIDER The BIOGLIDER: Autonomous Exploration and Monitoring of Marine Ecosystems Project aimed to develop and test an innovative marine ecology sensing system onboard AUV gliders. In addition to building imaging and acoustic payloads for gliders, the BIOGLIDER consortium developed acoustic data transmission to recover data from remote platforms. This project also involved significant testing and demonstration missions in the Norwegian Arctic. View project GROOM II The GROOM II project defined the overall organization of an infrastructure dedicated to ocean research and innovation and maritime services supporting Blue Growth. The project delivered the decision basis for an advanced Marine Research Infrastructure (MRI) that promotes scientific excellence, fosters innovation, supports the blue economy, builds industrial and public partnerships and works towards helping achieve the common research and innovation mission for future Europe. View project GLIDER During Phase II of the project, Cyprus Subsea continued to provide engineering and operational support to Akvaplan-niva AS, the research and consultancy company leading the “GLIDER: Unmanned Ocean Exploration” Project. View project OS Aqua OS Aqua was a national project that will enable the strategic development of an open sea aquaculture industry in Cyprus. In addition to significantly increasing food production, the project aimed to minimize impact to the natural environment. The project defined maritime zones, design facilities, automatization and monitoring systems and conducts a financial sustainability study. View project MARI-Sense In collaboration with a consortium of 12 high-profile partners, the overall goal of MARI-Sense was to design and develop a one-stop Cognitive Decision Support System essential to entities that need to “make sense of the maritime environment” via intelligent collection, interpretation and meaningful presentation of maritime data. View project STEAM Cyprus Subsea contributed to advanced Sea Traffic Management systems. As a work package leader, Cyprus Subsea developed efficient port management tools and innovative monitoring and forecasting systems to reduce the risk and impact of accidents at sea around the Port of Limassol. View project SMART Cable The SMART Cable is a programmable cable assembly intelligently connecting a marine sensor to a platform. As an innovative cable, the assembly consists of an ultra-low power electronics circuit embedded between each end. The cable assembly allows several functionalities and data processing capacity for input and/or output data. View project BRIDGES BRIDGES aimed for the development of new underwater platforms, deep (2400 m) and ultra-deep (5000 m) gliders. Ocean gliders are used commercially in the fields of environmental monitoring, oil and gas and deep sea mining. As a result, the project addressed market needs and advanced several technical achievements to produce these platforms. View project Right Whale Study This study was carried out by Advanced Offshore Operations, a subsidiary of CSCS. For this project, we designed and carried out an underwater glider mission plan along the shelf break in the mid-Atlantic bight. We used a Seaglider (Kongsberg Underwater Technology Inc.) with an integrated passive monitoring system to detect vocalizations of right whales. For more information, please contact Dr. Doug Nowacek at Duke University, the principal investigator of the project. View project Eden Environmental Study This project measured currents, waves and turbidity of a site near Paphos, Cyprus for 6 months. In addition, we measured high accuracy tidal levels in the Port of Paphos. Similar studies have been conducted in the past in other regions of Cyprus. However, these data sets provide calibration and validation with near coastal models for planning and permitting procedures, as well as baseline values of turbidity. We used an Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler with pressure sensor and wave capabilities. View project
