Current platform

XOcean USV

XOcean, founded in 2017 in Ireland, operates one of the largest fleets of survey-class uncrewed surface vessels and sells ocean data rather than hardware, recorded in the maritime form factor as the data-as-a-service archetype's second example alongside Saildrone. Its captive fleet gathers data for offshore-wind survey, hydrography, asset integrity, and carbon capture and storage across 22 jurisdictions, with the company reporting more than 4 million gigabytes delivered and support for 43.1 gigawatts of offshore wind, and it raised a 115-million-euro, roughly 119-million-dollar Series C in January 2025 to expand its fleet and segments. The registry records it at commercial maturity on the strength of verified material funding and an operating fleet. Its editorial throughline is the data-as-a-service archetype shared with Saildrone, with both companies operating captive fleets that sell ocean data rather than vessels, while XOcean differs in its offshore-wind-survey focus and European customer base and is privately European-funded rather than US and global venture and defense funded. Its claims to the largest survey-USV fleet and the figures of 22 jurisdictions, more than 4 million gigabytes delivered, and 43.1 gigawatts of offshore wind supported are company-reported and not independently audited, and its exact current fleet size and named customer roster are not enumerated given the limited per-customer disclosure typical of data-as-a-service operators.
