Welcome to CMS GeoScience:
This is our story

CMS began with a simple mission: to provide the marine industry with precise and dependable survey data that builds confidence from the seabed up. 


In the 30 years since, we’ve never forgotten that our clients' critical decisions rely on the precision of our data capture. That's why we've developed robust processes, invested in proven equipment and built the best team around it. 


Now, as CMS GeoScience, our operations extend across the UK and Europe. We are supported by our fully equipped 24 m survey vessel, MV FlatHolm, and a suite of comprehensive, bespoke equipment. This enables us to provide rapid and cost-effective support whenever and wherever it's needed. 

 

Central to how we operate is our commitment to health, safety, environment and quality (HSEQ). This ensures that what we do has a minimal impact on the environments we work in. 

 

While continually developing our capabilities, CMS GeoScience ensures that our team maintains the highest levels of professionalism, safety and efficient reporting on every project.

 

By consistently delivering proven, reliable and safety-first services, we remain a leader in a range of survey solutions across the marine sector in the UK and further afield. Our bases in Cornwall and Suffolk ensure proximity and efficiency for clients across industries, from renewables, ports and harbours, civil engineering and environmental research.
