“It takes a AA or AAA personality to lead a business to success. These personalities don’t always play well with others.
But what we’ve built here is a rare and special allegiance—unencumbered by ego. The speed of system integration and the quality of the outcome say it all. We’re just getting started.”
— Scott Porta, Porta Products Corporation
🔄 Innovation Without Ego
This project didn’t happen because one company led—it happened because many set ego aside and aligned around a shared mission. This is the future of maritime defense innovation.
🚨 Why the Industry Needs This Now
The maritime world has long lagged behind aerospace, automotive, and other mobility sectors when it comes to innovation.
But that’s changing—and PPS is proof of what happens when the pace accelerates.
We must catch up—and fast.
Innovation in our industry should come from collaboration, user-centered design, and real operational feedback—not static specs or legacy thinking. Says Roy Nouhra.
📍 Schedule a Private Demo or Call
We’re now in production and delivery phase, and inviting select defense and maritime professionals for:
• Private on-water demonstrations at our U.S. facility in Maryland
• Or a direct strategy call to explore how PPS and the AIME platform can support your operations

🌍 Next Stop: HSBO 2025, Gothenburg
Ocean Craft Marine will next present Project Perfect Storm at HSBO 2025 in Sweden, in front of 300+ global naval delegates and maritime innovators.
This isn’t just a continuation—it’s a launch into the global arena.
We’ll be showcasing what makes PPS the most operator-centric, data-proven, and mission-adaptable fast boat in the world.
This is not the end—it’s just the beginning.
