Bluefin Opens New Facility

With direct access to water, the company is able to dock their vessel just steps away from the assembly bays making testing and evaluation quicker and easier.

"Merging our two sites at the Quincy Shipyard efficiently streamlines our AUV integration, testing and training," said David P. Kelly, CEO and president of Bluefin Robotics. "The location is ideal for us because it provides a flexible workspace on the water with access to Boston amenities such as the airport and ferry. We are thrilled to be here and look forward to many years of profitable business in Quincy."

The move to Quincy coincides with a city effort to rejuvenate the area by attracting other businesses to the shipyard. For instance, the New England Aquarium has established a mammal rehabilitation center next door. Bluefin's role in the effort was recognized recently by The Massachusetts Alliance for Economic Development for which the company received Gold Winner status.
