A Message From The President

Welcome to Molchan Marine Sciences (MMS) Website. MMS continues to see steady and exciting growth in multiple areas in the marine technology sector. The hallmark of MMS is the ability to bring operational experience from all aspects of the waterfront to a project or program. Having the ability to communicate with and understand the needs of ship owner/operators, port facilities, researchers and marine technologists is one of MMS’s most respected capabilities.

MMS is Growing!

We are proud to announce the addition of Ric Walker to the Molchan Marine Sciences team. Ric is a Maritime Safety and Security Specialist with over 30 years of expertise in waterways management, ocean engineering, and underwater port security with the federal system and the U.S. Coast Guard Research and Development Center.
