Highlights
AnderCorp and Design-Build partner designed and renovated the existing warehouse, Shed 53, on the Port of Gulfport’s East Pier into the new headquarters for Ocean Aero. Renovations included a shop and fabrication space, a shipping and receiving dock, and updated offices for employees. The building’s façade features a hurricane-impact curtainwall system and new exterior metal panels.
Ocean Aero’s AUSVs are currently deployed by the U.S. Dept. Of Defense, Dept. Of Homeland Security, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, offshore energy companies, and more. Ocean Aero’s AUSVs provide a unique capability to monitor the world’s oceans and critical offshore infrastructure. The company manufactures the world’s first and only environmentally powered AUSV TRITON, which operates exclusively on wind and solar energy and performs long-endurance missions on the ocean’s surface with the ability to also perform underwater operations.
