We believe in safe oceans, the responsible use of renewable technology, and the respect of all marine life.
Our namesake, Alfred Thayer Mahan, wrote that American economic prosperity could not be achieved without command of the sea. Economic prosperity at sea is often called the blue economy. Prosperity comes from services and commodities that leverage cutting-edge technology to exchange information. The United States has recently evolved from dependency on foreign sources of energy to being the largest energy “exporter” on the planet. Much of this energy comes from under the sea. However, power, energy, and resources are no longer simply derived from the sea. Instead, they define and enhance an ocean positive economy. America's focus on sustainability is reducing the depletion of public resources and increasing reliance on renewable resources in the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone.The U.S. is pursuing the goal of deploying 30 gigawatts (GW) of renewable offshore wind energy by 2030. However, ocean-positive construction will be a challenge. Sustainable economic prosperity requires thoughtful regulation and a high level of transparency. This transparency comes from information. ThayerMahan is pushing the limits of maritime technology to expand the quantity, quality, and accessibility of maritime information available. Our deep knowledge of the ocean, thought leadership, and cutting-edge technology enables the delivery of critical information necessary for an ocean-positive economy. This is how we convert our beliefs into impactful action, and why our actions will fundamentally change offshore maritime construction, enabling America's renewable energy goal.
We continue to fully believe, adopt, and expand nineteenth-century naval officer, historian, and strategist Alfred Thayer Mahan's vision of the oceans. We all share this world and must grow in a safe and responsible way. Our mission is to promote healthy growth by supporting clean energy development, while respecting all marine life, through the maturity of cutting-edge marine technology. Oceans are our final frontier and are more important and sensitive than at any other time in history. All future efforts require maximum care and innovative solutions.

We are a U.S. company that combines extensive maritime knowledge, tested cutting-edge high-tech, and a local presence to fundamentally change offshore maritime construction.
High-Resolution Seabed Survey:
We assist our clients and partners to see and understand critical seabed areas using cutting-edge high-speed, ultra-high-resolution imaging equipment called Synthetic Aperture Sonar (SAS). For example, we can evaluate foundations, detect deteriorating cables before they fail, or track biological habitats on the ocean floor. We combine this data with our artificial intelligence to identify and track changes over time.
Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) Classification and Removal:
Our oceans have been victims of human conflict; it is now our responsibility to remove the remaining dangers. Some places on the seabed are unsafe and we work to make them safe again. We find old explosives, effectively remove them, and report when the seabed is ready to support America's renewable energy agenda and other commercial needs. Our thought leadership is pushing to bring military-grade ordnance cleanup to the commercial sector. We have over 450 years of combined military expertise that is helping to drive change.
Acoustic Mitigation and Monitoring:
We shield marine animals from harmful loud construction sounds. We place a protective barrier called a big bubble curtain around a construction site and make sure construction noise won't cause harm. Our teams are dramatically reducing the sound signature from offshore wind farm development.
Marine Mammal Monitoring:
We protect endangered species like the North Atlantic Right Whale from harm. We use cutting-edge technology to observe and make sure conditions are safe for marine mammals. Along with daytime operations, ThayerMahan provides integrated systems combining electro-optical and infrared (EO/IR) cameras with innovative unmanned acoustic detection systems. The collective data illustrates a common operating picture and maritime domain awareness platform for effective detection, classification, and tracking of marine mammals during nighttime conditions. This approach aims for a fundamental shift from familiar, daylight marine mammal monitoring standard methods to employing more modern technologies to monitor exclusion zones during nighttime conditions effectively and efficiently. This culminates in heightened marine mammal location accuracy and provides timelier specimen alerts. These advancements ensure marine mammal protection during monopile production operations through a broader range of environmental conditions, allowing for less total installation time and less overall environmental impact.
