Company

Ocean Origo was founded in spring 1999 in the city of Göteborg on the Swedish west coast. The office is located in the harbor and ship yard area "Nya Varvet" which was established at the mouth of the "Göta Älv" river according to a decision made by the Swedish king Karl XII in 1699. From the bridge "Älvsborgsbron" one may enjoy the scenery where the river "Göta Älv"  enters the sea and the beautiful archipelago of Göteborg begins. The policy of Ocean Origo is to develop, manufacture and sell equipment for oceanographic monitoring and surveillance in open ocean and coastal waters, fjords and lakes. The company also offers services such as oceanographic measurements and research.
The major products offered by Ocean Origo includes the bottom-up profiler
SeaTramp, a unique marine instrument platform which allows for long-term unattended multicycle profiling and data collecting of most of the measurable oceanographic parameters. One of the founders, Sverker Skoglund, is responsible for the technical development of SeaTramp. Field tests and development of Ocean Origo oceanographic equipment takes place at the Bornö Institute for Ocean and Climate Studies on the island of Stora Bornö in Gullmarfjorden.

The company is managed by an active Board of Directors. The majority shareholder Sverker Skoglund (M.Sc. Chalmers University of Technology) has comprehensive knowledge and experiences in the sciences of physical and technical oceanography and ocean instrumentation as well as extensive experiences from sea-going oceanographic field experiments and from international scientific cooperation. Robert Almström, shareholder and chairman of the board has considerable lifelong knowledge of shipping, off-shore and marine related business. Peter Jacobsson, shareholder and Board member (M.Sc. Chalmers University of Technology) has 25 years of experience from leeding positions in the offshore service sector.
Our clients are found internationally among authorities, universities, institutions, individual scientists, aqua-cultural industry, navies, private companies, etc.
