AD Ports Group, Noatum Maritime, Siemens Energy and Green Parrot Tech have signed a landmark agreement to explore joint opportunities in developing offshore renewable energy infrastructure across the region.

The collaboration brings together capabilities in engineering, electrical systems, offshore logistics and fabrication to support expanding demand for floating offshore wind, subsea systems and advanced power grid networks.

“This collaboration represents an opportunity to explore how our combined strengths can shape the future of renewable energy infrastructure,” said Captain Ammar Al Shaiba, CEO, maritime & shipping cluster at AD Ports Group.

“By uniting expertise in offshore operations, engineering and advanced technology, we can help create smarter, more efficient solutions to improve cost efficiencies and reduce complexity for our clients.”

End-to-end services

The partners intend to deliver cohesive, end-to-end services that reduce project interfaces and streamline development for offshore renewable energy developers.

With port infrastructure playing a critical enabling role, the partnership will create a one-stop platform designed to simplify the deployment of complex assets such as offshore substations, floating power plants and floating regasification units.

This coordinated approach aims to support long-term investment in offshore renewable energy while strengthening regional supply chains.

“This partnership reflects our commitment to advancing the region’s energy transition through strategic collaborations and innovation,” said Khalid Bin Hadi, managing director UAE, Siemens Energy.

”By uniting Siemens Energy’s global technology leadership with Noatum Maritime’s operations excellence and Green Parrot’s offshore capabilities, we are laying the foundation for a new generation of integrated offshore energy solutions.”

The collaboration ultimately reinforces the UAE’s Net Zero by 2050 pathway while supporting sustainable growth in the offshore sector.
