OEG Offshore has acquired Pelagian, a consultancy, engineering and installation management services provider for the subsea cable industry.
OEG said that with the acquisition it will be better equipped to support the cable sector across different end markets including telecommunications and interconnectors as well as offshore wind.
Pelagian is an established UK-based company with over 20 years of experience in the subsea cable industry.
The company supports the full wire construction process from initial feasibility studies to route engineering, risk mitigation, permit acquisition and stakeholder liaison, route survey, installation project management, system testing and acceptance to through-life operations and maintenance.
Pelagian, which employs 13 people and manages a global pool of contractors, will retain its distinct name, with managing director Peter Fisk (pictured) keeping his role with the company.
OEG Offshore chief executive John Heiton said: “We are excited to welcome another expert business to the OEG family.
“Its experience in the subsea cable industry will be invaluable to us as we continue to expand our services in the offshore renewables sector.
“This acquisition is a strategic move for us, and we look forward to working with Pelagian to provide our clients with innovative and reliable subsea cable solutions.”
Fisk said: “Pelagian possesses one of the most experienced cable consulting teams in the world and we can provide the glue across many components of the OEG Group, enabling a more cohesive offering to their various industries.
“As we hit our 20th anniversary as a respected service supplier we look forward to exciting growth as part of the OEG team.”
