What GEOxyz does

GEOxyz is a Belgian-headquartered maritime data company, founded in 1998 in Zwevegem and operating today from ten offices across Belgium, France, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Spain, the UK, the US and Namibia. The firm delivers marine site investigation, subsea and marine asset integrity, terrestrial survey, and unexploded ordnance (UXO) risk management services to offshore wind developers, dredging and marine construction contractors, oil and gas operators, port authorities, hydropower operators and engineering consultants. Its end-to-end offering covers hydrographic surveys (single beam and multibeam bathymetry), geophysical surveys (2D/3D high-resolution seismic, sub-bottom profiling, side scan sonar, magnetometry), geotechnical sampling and CPT testing, (W)ROV inspection, UAV aerial drone work with LiDAR, metocean monitoring, UXO clearance and certified data processing and reporting.

The company's technology foundation is a fleet of offshore survey vessels (GEO Ocean III through IX, up to 77.30 m), a 22-vessel GEOSURVEYOR nearshore fleet, and an unmanned/autonomous equipment layer comprising the proprietary GEODRONE USV family (6800, 3000, 1800, 1300), Kongsberg HUGIN 1000 and Teledyne Osprey AUVs, Seaeye Cougar XTi and work-class ROVs, and DJI M300 RTK / Flyability Elios 2 UAVs. In-house R&D has produced proprietary systems including the Silas 3D cable detection profiler, the Accurasea LiDAR metocean buoy, monopile positioning software and portable dredge registration systems, with the firm also developing a hydrogen-powered crew transfer vessel.

GEOxyz monetizes primarily through project-based professional services contracts quoted per engagement, supplemented by asset sales and recurring metocean data services via the Accurasea brand. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales, driven by industry events and direct engagement through country offices. Notable anchor engagements include a pre-installation and 3D-UHR seismic survey for Van Oord on the Sofia Offshore Wind Farm, an Xlinks First Morocco–UK 4,000 km HVDC cable route survey, geophysical surveys for Energinet on the Bornholm Energy Island project, EDF multi-dam surveys, Otary and Vattenfall/Metsähallitus offshore wind surveys, and RVO metocean studies. The company carries ISO 9001/14001/45001/27001 certifications, ISM Code compliance, Safety Culture Ladder Step 3, and is the sole identified owner of the Accurasea subsidiary.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves9 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Emerging players

• iXblue (Exail): French maritime autonomy and hydrographic positioning specialist — overlapping with GEOxyz on survey positioning and inertial navigation technology, with emerging autonomous platform offerings.

Direct peers

• Ocean Infinity: UK/US autonomous marine data company operating large USV and AUV fleets for survey and search — directly comparable on autonomous platform strategy, though with a broader offshore mandate.
• DeepOcean: Netherlands/UK-based subsea services provider offering survey, ROV, IMR and trenching for offshore wind and oil & gas — a direct competitor for GEOxyz's subsea asset integrity and cable-route work.
• Fugro: Dutch global leader in geotechnical, hydrographic and survey services for offshore wind, oil & gas, and infrastructure. Directly comparable across GEOxyz's core service lines (site investigation, geophysical surveys, ROV, cable tracking) but at significantly greater scale.
• MMT Sweden: Swedish hydrographic and geophysical survey specialist serving offshore wind, cable routes and marine infrastructure — closely overlapping with GEOxyz's marine site investigation offering across the Baltic and North Sea.
• TerraTec: Norwegian geophysical and geotechnical survey provider for offshore wind and infrastructure projects — comparable scope of services and similar mid-sized European operator profile.
• N-Sea: Dutch subsea services firm specializing in survey, ROV, cable installation and UXO clearance for offshore renewables — directly competing for the same European offshore wind and cable tender pool as GEOxyz.

Broad incumbents

• Shearwater GeoServices: Norwegian geophysical services company providing seismic and survey for offshore energy — relevant peer on geophysical capability but with an oil & gas rather than offshore wind primary mix.
• Boskalis Subsea: Large Dutch offshore contractor with an integrated subsea survey and installation arm. Overlaps with GEOxyz on survey and cable work but typically bundles it with much larger marine construction contracts.

Regional players

• GEO SubSea (Gardline): UK-based offshore survey provider within the Gardline group, comparable hydrographic and geophysical services for offshore wind and oil & gas — focused primarily on UK/North Sea markets versus GEOxyz's broader European footprint.
