History
OSIL (Ocean Scientific International Ltd) was originally established in 1989 to take over the operation of the IAPSO Standard Seawater Service, and are the world leading authorities on salinity measurement.
The natural progression from the sale of seawater was for OSIL to sell associated instruments such as salinometers, sound velocity sensors and CTDs. As a result OSIL established its own in-house service and calibration facilities to offer full support for the equipment being sold. From this position of knowledge we began to offer our own integrated monitoring systems, as we were in a unique position to be able to offer our customers the best selection of instruments available from top manufacturers. We moved from our original offices in Petersfield in 2006 to our existing facilities in Havant to accommodate our growing reputation for providing high quality, reliable systems. This demand has consistently outgrown the market for standalone sensors enabling our company to develop and expand our own product line.
OSIL’s customer base covers a wide range of sectors including dredging, oil and gas, renewable energy, coastal engineering, ports and harbours, marine mining, water and utilities, academia, research and statutory monitoring.
