Orkney companies Orcades Marine Management and Aquatera have formed a partnership with Singapore outfit OceanPixel.
New venture Orcades Marine Asia will provide operational management of marine renewables installations such as wave and tidal as well as floating solar and offshore wind.
Services will include marine operations planning, management and verification services.
The company will also engage in research and development projects aimed at “developing innovative and cost-efficient deployment solutions for the Asian marine renewables sector”.
Orcades managing director David Thomson said: “We have worked on projects in Asia now for a number of years and have an excellent relationship with OceanPixel and other key specialists in the region.
“Establishing a formal partnership in Singapore was the next logical step for us and it helps ensure we’re well placed to capitalise on the many opportunities arising from the emerging renewables sector in Asia.”
