US Expansion Advantage The company is expanding its US manufacturing footprint with a new headquarters in Bucksport Marine Park and a separate US HQ in Horry County, SC, backed by a $10.8 million investment and 93 new jobs. This expansion improves lead times, near-shore production, and eligibility for US public-sector procurement, creating strong sales angles for government and large institutional buyers seeking domestic-built RHIBs.
Customization Leadership Ocean Craft Marine builds RHIBs to order with options for fiberglass or marine-grade aluminum hulls and configurable Hypalon tubes, allowing tailored specifications for military, law enforcement, coast guard, search and rescue, and commercial operators. This positions OCM for RFPs requiring spec-compliant, mission-specific boats.
Market Focus The company targets professional, military, and recreational mariners and has actively engaged with defense and public safety communities through events like HSBO Forum, SOF Week, FDIC, and SAR Forum, signaling strong channels for pilot programs and initial deployments.
US Made Advantage All boats are proudly built in the United States, aligning with procurement preferences for domestic manufacturing and enabling compliance with US security and supply chain standards, a differentiator in federal and agency bids.
Growth Opportunities With current revenue in the sub-1M range and ongoing expansions, there are opportunities to pursue multi-unit contracts, develop channel partnerships, and apply for government procurement vehicles (GSA schedules) or prime contractor relationships to accelerate sales growth.
