April 29, 2026
Following a strong presence at FDIC International 2026, Ocean Craft Marine is pleased to share a brief update highlighting new relationships formed and the continued interest in our proven maritime response platforms.
BUILDING CONNECTIONS WORLDWIDE
FDIC 2026 provided an outstanding opportunity to engage with fire departments, rescue agencies, and government organizations from across the United States and around the globe. Our team had productive discussions with representatives from Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and South America—many of whom are actively evaluating ways to enhance their marine response capabilities.
These new connections reflect a growing international demand for reliable, mission-ready vessels capable of supporting fire suppression, search and rescue, and multi-agency operations in challenging environments. We look forward to developing these relationships and supporting agencies as their requirements evolve.
