From providing vital pathways for the effective operation of world trade to accommodating offshore installations, the maritime industry plays an important role in economic success and is increasingly contributing to sustainable energy solutions.
The drive to improve performance, energy efficiency, environmental standards and safety are ever present within the sector. Constraints over costs and timings add to the challenge.
To innovate, succeed and push forward the boundaries in this environment requires maritime consultants with the expert knowledge of marine structures and conditions operations, a genuinely multi-disciplinary approach, and a desire to embrace digital solutions and smarter ways of thinking.

Marinas and waterfront development
More than 60% of the world’s population lives in coastal areas, and living and working at the waterside is only becoming more popular. As they grow, these densely populated communities will need more infrastructure. And as climate change causes coastal hazards to increase, they need to build resilience, too.
