    Core activities

    What the company does and what problems or services it delivers.

    • What expertise does The Offshore Partners have? The Offshore Partners specialises in project management for newbuild, conversion, and O&M projects for both offshore vessels and offshore platforms, and does so in a unique manner. Our expertise lies in integrating advanced project management and planning approaches. We strive to make complex offshore projects manageable at an early stage and to bring offshore knowledge and experience to the table. The Offshore Partners offers maritime and operational engineering services to guide clients during shipbuilding, ship conversion, and offshore installation projects from concept development to final delivery. Our expertise consists of understanding what the customer wants, working with clients to identify demands and expectations, and translating them into feasible solutions.

      We also help existing customers map out their processes to uncover recurring challenges and improve ways of working. We develop these new insights into solutions and innovations to test and implement. Our passion for technology ensures continuity during periods of shortage of crew, platform staff, and skilled personnel, allowing companies to develop complete “task-ready crews” that are precise, safe, and efficient.

    • What specific problems do we solve?

      Project management: Our expertise lies in supporting you in the engineering, construction, conversion, O&M or refit of complex shipyard projects, including new ships and specialised offshore vessels. Our projects include supporting the construction of large crane vessels with transport capacity, pipe layers for oil and gas, drill ships, FPSOs, and advanced combination vessels.

      Operational engineering: At The Offshore Partners we specialise in maritime engineering and guiding clients through three crucial phases: concept design, basic engineering, and detailed engineering. We start by understanding your needs and supporting you during the conceptual phase by developing practical and realistic solutions for your activities. Then we guide and support you through the review and management of the basic engineering, writing specifications, and sourcing the right suppliers and shipyards. We help translate design standards into technical guidelines and ensure that your team keeps the project on track.

      Crewing: Our crewing department covers a broad range of specialties, including O&M specialists for towers, field joint coaters, HSE staff, and NDT experts for onshore and offshore tasks. They are responsible for safely supervising the entire scope of work, from placing piles to installing wind turbine towers at sea. With our construction crews on board, you can be confident your project will be completed successfully.
