Global Ocean Observing System 359d ago

For over a century, commercial ships have been collecting vital weather and ocean data, enhancing safety, forecasts, and climate understanding. The "10 000 Ships for the Ocean" initiative, launched at the 2025 UN Ocean Conference in Nice, unites a global coalition to expand ship-based observations. Backed by leading international organizations, France and marine industry pioneers, we are gathering the shipping industries to join an ambitious new partnership. Together, we will equip fleets with cutting-edge, standardized and automated metocean technologies, unlocking global benefits for operations, forecasting, early warnings and environmental stewardship.
