About
Ocean Power Technologies, Inc. Common Stock (OPTT) is a maritime domain awareness company headquartered in Monroe Township, New Jersey. Incorporated in 1984, it provides maritime solutions across North America, South America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Australia, and Asia. The company is known for combining ocean data, autonomous systems, and at-sea power into services for defense and commercial users.
The company frames its offerings around service based models. These include Data as a Service, Robotics as a Service, and Power as a Service, which let customers access information, autonomous platforms, and power without owning all of the underlying hardware outright. This approach shapes how the company delivers value to the markets it serves.
Its product line supports these services. Ocean Power Technologies designs, manufactures, deploys, and operates the PowerBuoy, a sensor and power solution; the wave adaptive modular vessel, or WAM-V, an autonomous unmanned surface vehicle; and Merrows, a user interface and command and control system. These products are aimed at defense, security, subsea infrastructure, offshore oil and gas, offshore energy, marine research, and communication markets.
The company reaches customers through several routes. It serves defense agencies, offshore energy operators, and other commercial interests using a combination of direct sales and leases, strategic partnerships, and long-term service agreements. This mix allows it to provide both equipment and ongoing services to clients operating at sea. By bringing together data collection, autonomous vehicles, and persistent power on the water, OPTT positions itself in the maritime technology field, with results tied to demand from defense and offshore energy buyers and to the adoption of its service based maritime solutions.
