Oceanic Consulting Corporation is one of North America’s largest providers of hydrodynamic evaluations and contract research services to the global marine industry. Based in St. John’s, NL, Canada, Oceanic is internationally recognized for its expertise in the areas of Vortex Induced Vibration (VIV) research, Arctic and ice engineering, and for its work for clients competing for the America’s Cup, including two-time champion, Team Alinghi. Oceanic’s experienced group of researchers, engineers, and technical personnel, combined with one of the world’s most comprehensive collections of hydrodynamic research facilities has made the company a world-leader in its field. Since Oceanic first made waves in 1993, the company has grown to 45 people and nearly $6 million in revenue.

With an aim for growth, Oceanic was acquired by Fleetway, Inc. in 2011. As part of the J.D. Irving, Limited (JDI) group of companies, the acquisition gives the firm greater strength and depth to continue to operate in its core business area of commercial research in hydrodynamics and Arctic engineering as it works to assist its clients in improving the way marine systems perform in their environments.
