USCG developed “Watchkeeper” to facilitate a web-based virtual IOC.

Opportunities

• Gov. McDonnell’s vision to make Virginia the "energy capital of the East Coast" and the first to produce energy offshore.

• Two competing proposals for wind farms -both located 12 miles off of Virginia Beach due to only mid-atlantic high voltage sub-station - Camp Pendelton.

• The Virginia Offshore Wind Coalition estimates that the development of a wind power hub in Virginia has the potential to become an $80 billion industry creating more than 10,000 jobs, including a significant maritime component.
