“2024 is poised to be a big year for US renewable energy, marked by offshore wind leasing processes in New Jersey, Central Atlantic, Oregon, Maryland, Maine and the Gulf of Mexico. With the increasing number of projects in the offshore renewable space, there’s a corresponding rise in challenges from a marine perspective and greater demand on the marine supply chain. At ABL, we excel in assisting clients in comprehending their marine value chain and mitigating risks at every stage of their projects, thereby ensuring the long-term viability of their assets.” <\/p>\nSean Murphy, Renewables Manager, ABL USA <\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

ABL\u2019s comprehensive offering to the renewable energy sector includes marine advisory services, ports and harbors consultancy<\/a>, marine assurance & risk services<\/a>, and marine warranty surveying (MWS)<\/a>. Its US operations are also complemented by sister companies in the market, OWC \u2013 the renewable energy consultants<\/a>, and Longitude \u2013 the engineering consultants<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n

“With OWC and Longitude, we have a combined track-record across more than 17 US offshore wind projects in various stages of development, as well as experience in floating solar (FPV), wave-energy conversion (WEC), and renewable interconnector projects in the region. Leveraging this wealth of experience, coupled with our established reputation as marine consultants, equips us with an unparalleled understanding of the challenges and opportunities from a marine perspective, from project feasibility to construction to operations.”<\/p>\nJohn Walker, Managing Director ABL New York, and Maritime ABL Americas <\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
