Offshore energy

The long term growing demand for energy is driving an increase in oil and gas exploration and production, as well as the need for renewable energy solutions.

We deliver services throughout the oil and gas life cycle - from exploration to production right through to decommissioning. We cover maritime and subsea transport, installation and inspection, repair and maintenance (IRM) services.
