Marine Advisory

With a long legacy in marine advisory and consulting and an expansive track-record in offshore renewable energy development, we know that when it comes to navigating the marine value chain of a project, experience counts.

ABL combines market-leading expertise in marine transportation and installation (T&I), deep technical and practical knowledge of all facets of the marine landscape from vessels to ports and harbours, with the dedicated renewable energy expertise of our sister company OWC.

This enables us to provide the most comprehensive marine advisory offering to support clients in identifying, mitigating and managing marine risk throughout the lifecycle of a project, whether in offshore wind, interconnectors or vessel construction.
