Fairlead is proud of our sister company Psionic and the work they’re doing!

Efficient, cost-effective, and reliable—our three-man rope access team completed an emergent hull repair without the need for a tugboat, barge, or man-lift. This streamlined approach reduced costs, minimized downtime, and showcased the advantages of rope access in ship repair. Thank you to Fairlead for the opportunity to demonstrate these capabilities.

Great to see previous Fairlead teams members thriving as their careers move them on to new opportunities!

Yesterday, we had the pleasure of hosting students from the Governor’s STEM Academy at Grassfield High School for an immersive tour of Fairlead's Systems Division! From hands-on demonstrations in digital electronics, electrical and mechanical engineering, automation, and system integration, to insightful conversations with our engineering team, the students were completely engaged in the world of maritime engineering. Their excitement was contagious, and their feedback spoke volumes - “Everyone who works here looks happy!” Our team loved connecting with these young minds, sharing career insights, and sparking curiosity about future STEM opportunities. And yes, the Chick-fil-A snack was a BIG hit! We’re grateful for the opportunity to inspire the next generation of engineers and look forward to future collaborations! #STEMEducation #FutureEngineers #InnovationAtFairlead #GrassfieldSTEM #Fairlead #Engineers #Maritime #TalentPipeline Fred Pasquine Hannah A., MSIOP Todd Babcock Harold Sumpter Jr. Nate Aiken Victoria Frerichs, MPSIOP Meredith Strahan
