SubSea Craft Moving Operations to Hancock County Creating 56 Jobs

Advanced maritime technology company SubSea Craft is locating operations in Hancock County. The project represents a corporate investment of nearly $6.1 million and will create 56 jobs.

“The United States is a key market for SubSea Craft, and Hancock County provides an ideal location to meet growing demand for autonomous maritime systems. This facility will enable us to manufacture, integrate, test and support advanced autonomous maritime systems at pace, strengthening our ability to support both U.S. and international customers while creating highly skilled jobs in the region. We are excited to join Mississippi’s growing maritime and advanced manufacturing community and look forward to being a long-term partner in the state,” said  Camilla Martin, Chief Executive Officer, SubSea Craft.

Headquartered in Portsmouth, England, SubSea Craft develops and delivers advanced maritime platforms and autonomous technologies for customers across defense, security and commercial markets, with growing operations in the United States.

The company is locating in an existing facility at Port Bienville, where it will establish its primary U.S. commercial production center. From the Bay St. Louis location, the company will manufacture advanced composite components for autonomous surface vessels, conduct testing and software validation and provide maintenance and technical support for customers across the country.

“Landing Subsea Craft is an exciting win for Hancock County and another example of the momentum we are building at Port Bienville. Companies are looking for locations where they can move product efficiently, access a skilled workforce and have a local partner committed to their success—and we believe Hancock County delivers on all three. We are proud that SubSea Craft chose to invest here, and we look forward to seeing the jobs, investment and opportunities this project will bring to our community,” said Hancock County Port & Harbor Commission Manufacturing Development Specialist, Brooke Glass.
