As an alliance of the National Research Council (NRC) and Memorial University of Newfoundland (MUN), Oceanic is the commercial front door to one of the world's most comprehensive collections of facilities for model testing. With all facilities located in St. John's, at the NRC's Institute for Ocean Technology (IOT) and MUN's Ocean Engineering Research Centre (OERC) and Marine Institute (MI), Oceanic can cost-effectively simulate nearly any extreme marine environment and provide an evaluation of any marine system.

Models are tested in one or more of the following facilities:

Several unique pieces of equipment augment the capabilities of some of the facilities, including:

As well, Oceanic has capability in all aspects of model construction and instrumentation, with access to on-site shops for electronics, machining, welding, carpentry, fibre-glassing and painting. A milling machine is used in shaping models up to 12 meters in length.
