Cyprus Subsea Consulting and Services (CSCS) specializes in the operation, maintenance, and development of custom monitoring capabilities of autonomous marine platforms.
Underwater gliders
An underwater glider is a highly efficient autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) which uses small changes in buoyancy and attitude to achieve forward motion over long distances. Seagliders are one of the most advanced oceanographic observing tools on the market.
CSCS has been operating Seagliders for over ten years in different seas of the world and under many different weather and sea conditions. In addition, we offer several after-sale services.
Four versions in operation worldwide
Maximum operating depth, to scale
- C2 200 m
- M1 1,000 m
- M6 6,000 m
- SGX 6,000 m
After-sale services
- Mission planning & risk analysis
- Launch & recovery
- Operations & piloting
- Maintenance & customization
- Training
- Data management
- Data processing & analysis
- Reporting, budgeting & project management
Rent or buy a Seaglider
CSCS facilitates the rental and purchase of Seagliders. The University of Washington Applied Physics Laboratory, Integrative Observational Platforms is currently producing and delivering SGX gliders. As their latest generation of Seaglider, the SGX has 60% more battery capacity and more flexible payload options compared to earlier generations of the vehicle.
Floats & drifters
CSCS is the official representative for MetOcean in Cyprus and Greece, and supports other countries in the region with sales, training and data services. MetOcean produces profiling floats for passive acoustics and water properties, and near-surface drifting systems for measuring currents and water properties for oceanographic studies, search and rescue, and oil spill drift tracking.
As an Authorised Distributor of MRV Systems in Europe, CSCS offers standard and deep profiling floats meeting the Argo specification, as well as a biogeochemical model.
AUVs, ROVs & ASVs
Autonomous underwater vehicles, remotely operated vehicles & autonomous surface vehicles
CSCS offers a variety of AUV and ROV survey, inspection and related services through our network of manufacturers and professional operators such as Seatronics, OceanScan and Hydromea.
We also carry out joint work with manufacturers of autonomous surface vehicles, such as Offshore Sensing AS SailBuoy, Maritime Robotics Waveglider and H2O Robotics floats and drifters.
We currently own and operate a Blue Robotics BlueROV2 Heavy, ready to conduct inspection-class and research-class missions, test sensors and monitor subsea environments.
Fixed observatories
Moorings, moored buoys and bottom-mounted platforms
CSCS designs and builds custom observing platforms for any ocean depth.
Self-contained and online solutions are available. CSCS also provides standard and customized lander systems in cooperation with our partners.
