BENEFITS OF THE CO-OP MODEL
“We value our relationship with the Commercial Fishing Industry. With Sea Services, we can sort of fire and forget, if you will—we fire off a need or a task or a mission. We fire that off to Sea Services, and then we can essentially forget about it. Do we have a fleet that we can rely on to provide scouting and safety services? 100% yes. And it’s literally about that simple. We don’t have to worry about investing staff time—we’ve outsourced that to a turnkey provider. That’s about as high a praise as I can offer!”
— Leading Offshore Wind Developer
ONE-STOP-SHOP FOR ALL THINGS COMMERCIAL FISHING AND OFFSHORE WIND
Sea Services offers a true one-stop maritime solution managing everything from vessel deployment to environmental monitoring and data collection. Our integrated best-in-class services eliminate the need for developers coordinating multiple commercial fishing vessels, streamlining logistics and reducing administrative burden and overall project risk.
By providing end-to-end support, Sea Services enables offshore wind developers to engage commercial fishermen, maintain the highest standards of maritime safety, meet local content requirements, and stay focused on core project objectives.
LOCAL KNOWLEDGE AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
Sea Services delivers unmatched local maritime expertise through the widest network of experienced independent fishermen in the U.S. offshore wind industry. These are professionals who understand the regional rhythms of marine life, port dynamics, and gear patterns.
Our cooperative model delivers local content by bridging developers and fishing communities, and transforming potential resistance into real partnership and enabling smoother project implementation across every stage of the lifecycle.
PROJECT AND MARKET RISK MITIGATION
Sea Services significantly reduces conflict by staffing certified commercial fishermen as safety/guard vessel operators. Our deep, working knowledge of U.S. fisheries allows for proactive mitigation of potential maritime challenges before they escalate. The result: safer, more efficient offshore operations with fewer disruptions, and meaningful cost savings. (Ask us about our downtime savings case studies.)
Beyond the waterline, our fishermen also serve as powerful public advocates testifying at regulatory hearings and speaking to media outlets in support of our customers and their projects. This strategic visibility has led to measurable improvements in stakeholder perception, permitting outcomes, and overall project momentum.
