The AMS Vision
Founded in 2018 by Bruce Cutler & Toby Butler, Adaptive Marine Solutions Inc. was built on a simple, shared vision; that many of the challenges of the Marine industry could be addressed by a company that was willing and able to deeply understand the needs of each project and truly transform itself in order to best meet those unique needs and goals.
AMS had its first chance to prove this vision as a small team supporting Alion Canada (SERCO Canada) in their effort to develop a 3D production model for the construction of the RCN Joint Support Ship (JSS) being built in Vancouver, Canada. As the project ramped up, so did AMS.
Today, the AMS team includes expertise across Canada in supporting all aspects of the 3D model, including Structure, Piping, Equipment, Electrical, and HVAC. AMS continues to grow and demonstrate to its clients and industry the value of the Adaptive, Solution-first approach to Client needs.
