GONZALES, LA – As forecasters anticipate another active hurricane season across the Gulf of Mexico, In-Mar Solutions is reinforcing its commitment to supporting maritime operators with rugged, high-performance equipment designed to endure the harshest conditions at sea.
With 2026 predictions averaging between 4 and 7 hurricanes, and between 11 and 16 named storms, the Atlantic hurricane season begins June 1st and ends November 30th. And while this may be considered a “quieter” season than usual, the “super” El Niño developing for 2026 may also bring increased hurricane activity in the Pacific.

Drawing on more than 45 years of experience and a company history rooted in hurricane-prone Louisiana, In-Mar delivers proven solutions that help vessel crews maintain critical visibility and operational control when it matters most.

From sudden squalls to sustained hurricane-force winds, Gulf fleets operate in one of the most demanding marine environments in the world. In-Mar’s advanced wiper systems, including its widely deployed Wynn Straight-Line Wiper Systems, are engineered specifically to perform under extreme wind loads, heavy rain, and constant salt spray. These systems are designed to deliver consistent, reliable clearing of bridge windows to ensure safe navigation even in severely reduced visibility.

“In the Gulf, extreme weather isn’t theoretical. It’s a reality our customers face every year, and it’s one we’ve experienced firsthand as a Louisiana-based company,” said Glynn Grantham, President of In-Mar Solutions. “That lived experience shapes how we select and deliver our equipment. Our goal is simple: give crews the confidence that their visibility systems will perform, no matter how severe the conditions.”

In-Mar’s equipment is trusted across a wide spectrum of vessels, from U.S. military platforms to commercial workboats operating in offshore energy, dredging, and pilot services. Recent projects have demonstrated the company’s ability to deliver solutions tailored to high-stress environments, including amphibious craft, high-speed pilot boats, and large-scale dredging vessels – all of which demand uncompromising performance in wind, water, and spray.

Beyond wiper systems, In-Mar supports vessel readiness with a portfolio of mission-critical products designed to enhance safety, visibility, and operator endurance. These include marine-grade shading solutions such as Solar Solve’s Anti-Glare Roller Screens, which reduce glare and improve bridge conditions during rapidly changing weather, as well as ergonomic Alu Design helm seating that helps reduce fatigue during extended operations in rough seas.

As shipbuilders and operators prepare for a busy hurricane season as well as the effects of El Nino, In-Mar continues to work closely with customers to ensure vessels are equipped to meet the realities of all weather patterns. With a focus on durability, customization, and real-world performance, the company remains a trusted partner in helping fleets stay operational through even the most punishing storm conditions.

In-Mar Expands Marine Product Lines for U.S. Navy.
GONZALES, LA – In-Mar Systems and In-Mar Solutions, Louisiana-based designers and suppliers of critical marine equipment, announced today a commitment to expand their product lines to support the evolving needs of the U.S. Navy and the broader U.S. maritime industrial base.
With a long history of supplying U.S. Navy, Coast Guard, and commercial vessels, In-Mar has built its reputation on delivering dependable shipboard components designed for demanding operational environments. Core offerings include marine off-board fire fighting by Fire Fighting Systems (FFS), and heavy-duty window wiper and wash systems by Wynn Marine and B. Hepworth. This equipment plays a vital role in ship safety, damage control, and bridge visibility across a wide range of marine platforms.

“Reliability at sea is non-negotiable,” said Glynn Grantham, President at In-Mar Systems. “Our legacy product lines are focused on systems that crews depend on every day, whether during routine operations or high-stress scenarios.”

Expanding Beyond Traditional Ship Systems

Building on that foundation, In-Mar expanded further into helm chairs (marine seating) and marine window shades, product categories that address human-factors engineering and bridge efficiency – areas receiving increased attention in modern ship design.
  • Helm Chairs / Marine Seating by Alu Design: Designed for long watchstanding periods, In-Mar’s helm seating solutions emphasize ergonomic support, durability, and stability, helping reduce operator fatigue during extended operations.
  • Marine Window Shades by Solar Solve: Purpose-built window shading systems reduce glare, manage light levels, and enhance visibility on the bridge and in control spaces, particularly during daylight navigation and precision maneuvering.

These additions reflect a broader approach to shipboard outfitting thereby supporting both system performance and crew effectiveness.

New Ford-Class Carrier Enters Sea Trials

The announcement coincides with a major milestone for U.S. naval shipbuilding: the USS John F. Kennedy (CVN-79), the Navy’s newest Ford-class aircraft carrier, has begun builder’s sea trials. These trials mark the first time the ship’s systems and components are tested underway, validating performance before formal Navy acceptance.

Sea trials underscore the importance of proven marine equipment performing reliably in real-world conditions. Everything from bridge systems to safety hardware is tested. As the Navy moves to modernize and expand its fleet, suppliers like In-Mar play a key role in supporting readiness through both legacy and next-generation shipboard solutions.

Supporting the U.S. Maritime Industrial Base

The expansion comes at a critical moment for the U.S. shipbuilding sector, as policymakers and defense leaders discuss increasing naval construction capacity amid rising strategic competition with China. For In-Mar, the focus remains on delivering practical, proven equipment from a Gulf Coast-based company with deep ties to the maritime industry.

“Our goal is to address the specific challenges of our customers by providing solutions that meet their needs,” said Grantham. “As shipbuilding ramps up, we’re committed to growing alongside the entire industry and supporting the Navy’s mission with dependable, well-engineered products.”
