World’s leading research institutes use Neoteric hovercraft

We’re honored to announce that a Neoteric commercial hovercraft is now being utilized by several of the world's highest-ranking research institutes.

Brokered by China Haipai Hovercraft, Ltd., the leading aquaculture and marine science institutions in China have purchased a 4-passenger Neoteric HoverTrek™ to use in research operations. These include Yellow Sea Fisheries Research Institute, Shanghai Ocean University, the Ministry of Agriculture Ocean Fisheries Training Center, the China Fisheries Network, and the Chinese Academy of Fishery Sciences.

Through Hovercraft Training Centers, Neoteric President Chris Fitzgerald traveled to Qingdao, China the week of Nov. 20 to conduct hovercraft pilot and maintenance training at Yellow Seas Fisheries Research Institute.
