Offshore & Marine Construction

We have worked on multiple offshore and marine projects in the UK and internationally, including dredging, deep sea diving, offshore wind, and offshore platforms. Projects include:

• Baltic 2 Wind Farm, German Coast

The offshore and marine sector is subject to all of the common issues identified in other sectors (specifically energy and infrastructure). However, this sector is subject to particular additional issues including:

• Monopiles and transition piece interfaces
• Welding specification and complexity claims
• Security measures
• Vessel claims
• Transport, port, dockyard and storage claims
• Complex permit to work systems
• Confidentiality
• Weather and conditions
• International laws
• Multi party disputes
• Complex and bespoke specialist specifications
• Increased health and safety obligations

We have represented international contractors on a diverse range of projects and fully understand each stage of the procurement, engineering, design and construction process and how best to achieve commercial returns with significant experience of bespoke forms of contract commonly used in the offshore and marine construction sector.
