The Institute comprises five Scientific Departments: Ocean Physics, Biological Oceanography, Marine Chemistry, Marine Geology & Geophysics and Marine Observatories and Operational Oceanography.

A new cross-departmental Unit, named Marine Oceanographic Data and Information Systems, has derived from joining the Hellenic National Oceanographic Data Center-HNODC and the Geographical Information Systems Unit. The new unit interacts with all Departments and Research Infrastructures.
