About Global Ocean
Built around
the operation.
Global Ocean is an international marine and aquaculture business designing, building and supporting the vessels, systems and infrastructure ocean industries rely on.
Supporting life, above and below the water
Why we exist
The operation does not work in pieces.
We bring marine, engineering, aquaculture, oxygen, air and power capability together under one accountable team.
Marine projects are too often fragmented.
One company designs it. Another builds it. Another supplies the equipment. Another installs it. And when something goes wrong, responsibility becomes difficult to find.
Global Ocean was built to close those gaps.
We start with the operation, understand what needs to work, then bring the right people and capabilities around it.
One team. One phone call.
One point of accountability.
Our story
Decades of experience.
Fewer gaps.
Global Ocean grew from decades of experience in shipbuilding and marine operations.
From there, the vision expanded.
2019
Advanced Air
Matt Wiggins established Advanced Air, bringing his experience in Australian shipbuilding into specialist air and power systems.
2022
Into aquaculture systems
As the business moved deeper into aquaculture, the need for complete oxygen and marine systems became clear. That capability followed.
2025
One accountable team
Vessel design. Shipbuilding. Engineering. Oxygen. Air. Power. Aquaculture infrastructure. Service and lifecycle support. Those capabilities came together under Global Ocean.
Not to add more layers.
To create fewer gaps for the client.
What makes us different
First the operation.
Then the answers.
We start with the operation
We do not begin with a catalogue. We begin with questions.
- What does the vessel need to do?
- What does the farm need to achieve?
- Where are the risks?
- What happens if something fails?
- What will this operation need ten years from now?
Then we engineer around the answers.
Fresh sheet of paper. Not a catalogue.
We stay
The build is only part of the job.
Design comes before it.
Service comes after it.
Delivery is not where our responsibility ends.
We design. We build. We integrate. We commission. We support.
Marine assets operate in demanding environments, and clients need partners who are still there after handover.
Owner led. Personally invested.
This business is personal.
Global Ocean is owner led.
Our leadership stays close to the work. Our clients have access to the people responsible for the decisions. Our reputation is attached to every project.
And so are our livelihoods.
Our families are fed from this business, so we treat every job like our livelihoods depend on it. Because they do.
That is what Heart means to us.
It is not a corporate value written on a wall.
It is caring about the work, the people relying on it and what happens after we leave.

Where we are going
Building for what comes next.
Ocean industries are changing quickly.
Vessels are becoming smarter. Aquaculture is becoming more engineered. Oxygen, power, automation and data are becoming increasingly connected.
Global Ocean is building for that future.
Our ambition is simple
To become the most trusted partner and the most trusted voice in marine infrastructure and aquaculture.
Not by being the loudest company in the industry.
By doing exceptional work, sharing real expertise and standing behind what we deliver.
