Green Marines latest vessel, the Green Storm is on contract with Seaway 7 providing safe crew transfers, to and from Beatrice Offshore Wind Farm (BOWL). To crew the Green Storm, an additional skipper and engineer have been employed who collectively bring over 15 years’ experience working on CTVs.

Seaway 7 and Green Marine have previously worked together when the Green Quest was working at BOWL last year. This repeat work is an example of the positive relationship that Green Marine builds with all its clients.

Vincent van Velzen, Operations Engineer for Seaway 7 had the following to say:

“Seaway Heavy Lifting contracted Green Marine(UK)Ltd to provide crew transfer services during offshore wind construction works in Scotland, we were impressed with the level of vessel services provided and the support and response of the office engineering team was fantastic”

Green Marine will be attending All Energy in Glasgow on the 15th and 16th of May 2019 to meet with clients and showcase their abilities. If you are attending, please stop by our stand so that we can discuss what services Green Marine can provide you.

Green Marine & Sula Diving recently salvaged a local fishing boat (the Ilaglyn) from Houton Pier, Orkney.  The Ilaglyn is an 11m clinker boat.

Within 24 hours, Green Marine had worked with Orkney Harbours & Sula Diving to create a full document pack for the recovery operation, as well as mobilising its workboat, the Green Isle to site. 

An inspection dive was initially performed to survey the Ilaglyn, and the second dive then placed slings underneath the hull.  Green Marine raised the boat to the water surface, at which point salvage pumps were used to empty the flooded compartments.  Chain hoists were incorporated in the lift rigging to level out the heel which had developed.

Once floating again, the Ilaglyn was towed alongside the Green Isle back to Stromness harbour, for onwards transport with Heddle Construction.

Green Marine has expanded its fleet by recently purchasing a Damen Twin Axe 26m long CTV named the “Green Storm”. The vessel will focus on servicing the Offshore Wind industry, providing safe transportation of personnel and cargo to offshore installations. The company has made this significant investment to meet the demands of their expanding client base in offshore wind.

The company has worked on several offshore wind farms including Beatrice, Moray East and West Wind Farms, Hywind, East Anglia 1 and Ormonde with their other vessels. The Offshore Wind industry is currently going through a phase of significant expansion, resulting in increased demand for Green Marine’s services.

Green Marine is currently implementing its safety management and maintenance systems on the Green Storm, and the experienced masters and crew are carrying out drills and vessel familiarisation.

Green Marine is a multi award winning company in the offshore renewable industry. The company is accredited for ISO standards 9001:2015 Quality Management, 14001:2015 Environmental Management and OHSAS 18001:2007 Health and Safety Management. This was achieved due to the commitment and can do attitude of the highly skilled team at Green Marine.

This week Green Marine became Orkneys first Company to pass the first stage audit for Fit 4 Offshore Renewables. F4OR has been developed by the Nuclear AMRC and the Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult. The F4OR programme is to ensure that the company’s operations meets the standards expected by project developers and operators and their supply chain partners in key areas of business and performance.

Green Marine has recently invested in new larger office premises to house its expanding number of shore based employees, which includes an in-house Engineering department of Naval Architects, Structural Engineers and Draughtsmen. The property is due to be renovated shortly with assistance from HIE.

Jason Schofield commented: “The significant investment our company has made in the purchase of another vessel and new office premises is testament to the confidence we have in the future of the offshore renewable industry. We are continually rising to the high standards and demands of this industry, and that is a credit to our valuable and dedicated workforce”.

Green Marine will be attending the Wind Energy Hamburg show at the Hamburg Messe & Congress between the 25^th and 28^th September 2018.

This is the world’s largest wind industry event and we are proud to be a part of it. We will be in the Scottish Pavilion in Hall B2 Stand 253.12
