African Spirit is a well maintained and a standard Platform Supply Vessel which has embarked on various operations in different parts of the country and have delivered effortlessly in her operations.
Some of her notable jobs includes a Survey Support Operation for First E & P, AUV Survey for SNEPCO in Bonga and Pipes Cargo Distribution for Bright Waters to mention but a few. She equally has over 20 passenger capacity and one of the best Crew Members in the country.
Services that African Spirit offers includes the following:- Platform support
- Pipe carrying
- Deck cargo carriage
- Survey support vessel
- Accommodation vessel for 30 project personnel
GOSL also acquired a brand new Rhino Boat 750 ED which is used for high‐speed diesel workboat on offshore oil and gas installations, personnel transfer boat and small dive boat. The Rhino Boat 750 ED is available for rental services.
GOSL owns 50% of Rhino Marine Products Limited, which is a Rhino Boat manufacturing company in South Africa. The ambition behind this is to establish an Assembling Station in Nigeria while following the necessary regulations with the view of mitigating the high importation of Rhino Boats in the country and also aid in growing the Nigerian Economy.

G.O.S.L Nigeria Limited delivers cutting-edge Unmanned Survey Vessel (USV) technology for offshore data acquisition, environmental monitoring, and hydrographic surveys. Our USVs provide precise, efficient, and cost-effective survey operations while minimizing risk and operational downtime.
Overview
USV Services
Our USV technology allows for remote, autonomous offshore survey operations, enabling continuous data collection in conditions that are challenging for traditional crewed vessels. These systems are designed to perform hydrographic, geophysical, and environmental surveys with reduced mobilization time, lower operational costs, and improved safety standards.
With real-time data transmission and autonomous navigation, our USVs ensure high-resolution survey results while limiting human exposure to offshore risks.
Our Core Capabilities Include:
Our fleet of unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) offers a smarter, safer, and more efficient way to collect high-quality hydrographic data. with their shallow draft, they are the ideal choice for hydrographic surveys in inland waterways, ports, harbours, and nearshore coastal zones.
- Hydrographic Surveys
- Environmental Monitoring
- Pipeline & Cable Route Surveys
- Offshore Asset Inspections
- Rapid Deployment Surveys
KEY AUTOMATION FEATURES INCLUDE:
- Waypoint Autonomy – Automated navigation along predefined routes
- Heading Control – Maintaining a precise course
- Station-Keeping – Holding position even in dynamic conditions
- Manual Joystick Mode – Operator-controlled Maneuverability When Needed

GOSL-47 USV (REAV-47)
The GOSL-47 is a hybrid battery-powered Unmanned Survey Vessel designed for extended offshore survey operations. Built for endurance and efficiency, it delivers high-precision bathymetric and sub-bottom data with minimal crew involvement.
Key Capabilities:
- Up to 72 hours endurance with hybrid battery + generator system.
- Equipped with Ping DSP 3DSS-IDX interferometric sonar and Innomar Compact Parametric Sub-Bottom Profiler.
- Advanced navigation and autonomy with Virtual Watchkeeper control system.
- Rim-driven electric propulsion for efficiency and reduced entanglement risk.
Notable Operations:
- Payload includes a Ping DSP 3DSS-IDX interferometric sonar and Innomar Compact Parametric Sub-Bottom Profiler, enabling concurrent wide-swath bathymetric mapping and sub-bottom imaging.
- It can sustain survey operations for up to 72 hours using a battery-hybrid system (12 kW battery + 4 kW generator).

GOSL-28 USV
The GOSL-28 is a compact, battery-electric Unmanned Surface Vessel designed for inland, sheltered water, nearshore, and landfall survey operations. It complements G.O.S.L’s larger REAV-47 USV by enabling agile, precise surveying in locations where larger or longer-endurance vessels are less practical.
Key Capabilities:
- Size & Build: A 2.8-meter USV with a marine-grade aluminium or robust alloy construction. Modular and demountable design.
- Propulsion & Power: Fully electric with twin outboard motors (Torqeedo Ultralight 1103 in some configurations) using battery packs.
- Payload Flexibility: Capable of carrying various sensors — multibeam echosounders, sub-bottom profilers, side-scan sonar etc. Configurable payload bays.
- Operational Suitability: Designed for inland or nearshore conditions
Notable Operations:
- GOSL acquired the REAV-47 USV from HydroSurv for hydrographic and geophysical survey operations in Nigeria.
- Payload configuration includes a Ping DSP 3DSS-IDX interferometric sonar and Innomar Compact Parametric Sub-Bottom Profiler, enabling simultaneous wide-swath bathymetric mapping and high-resolution sub-bottom imaging.
