The OEG Offshore group, a UK-based offshore energy services company, is set to launch a new division named OEG Renewables (OEGR) with the goal of providing integrated solutions to the offshore wind sector worldwide.
The new division will combine specialist services from companies which OEG Offshore recently acquired, including Fern Communications, Hughes Subsea, Manor Marine, Manor Renewable Energy (MRE), OPUS Marine, Pegasus Welfare Solutions (PWS), Pelagian, Seajet Systems and Specialist Marine Consultants (SMC).
OEG Renewables’ services will include project management, engineering, installation, and inspection and maintenance of offshore wind farms. The division will also provide a range of equipment for offshore wind operations, including vessels, temporary power, communications, welfare, as well as logistics equipment and facilities from its asset fleet.
The group says its new division will operate globally, with a focus on key offshore wind markets, including Europe, Asia, and North America.
OEG Renewables will be officially launched at the Global Offshore Wind event which will take place this week in London.
The division will be led by Eric Briar, formerly CEO of Manor Renewable Energy (MRE), who has been named OEGR’s managing director. Toby Mead, previously COO at MRE, has been appointed as the new division’s operations director.
“Our goal is to provide our customers with a one-stop-shop solution for their offshore wind needs and with our expertise from each specialist segment, in combination with a large fleet of enabling assets supporting both topside and subsea services; we are confident that we can deliver significant value to our customers across both development and O&M phases for offshore wind farms on a global basis” , said Eric Briar , Managing Director of OEGR.
Toby Mead, OEGR’s Operations Director noted that the OEGR group companies had already collaborated “on a number of turnkey integrated projects on several high-profile developments”.
