MARINE OPERATOR OF CHOICE Providing specialist vessel and engineering services
About us
Green Marine was founded in 2012 in the Orkney Islands, Scotland and operates throughout Europe. The founders, with a long history of working in the marine sector, previously operated a fleet of fishing vessels around the world. Green Marine was established with over 150 years of real sea time experience in its core team. Green Marine chose to target the offshore renewables, providing vessel charter and consultancy for offshore operations. As this sector grew, Green Marine procured additional vessels building a comprehensive fleet of workboats, crew transfer vessels, heavy lift and transportation barges. Some of the keys services that the company vessels can carry out are: Crew transfers Offshore site surveys Cable installation and recovery Mooring installation and recovery Buoyage installation Towage Salvage Alongside the expansion of the fleet and as the company’s experience grew, Green Marine began offering engineering services alongside vessel charter. The company now has a highly qualified engineering team consisting of naval architects, project engineers, structural engineers and draughtsmen. Some of the key services the engineering team can carry out are: Cable lay and recovery analysis Transit and towing analysis Mooring analysis Stability and ballasting calculations

Green Marine (UK) Ltd Structural Asset Inspection Structural inspection offshore demands more than access. It demands preparation, precision and repeatability. Foundations, subsea structures and nearshore assets are rarely presented in ideal condition. Marine growth, surface contamination and restricted access can all affect inspection accuracy. Effective structural inspection begins before the probe touches the steel. Green Marine supports asset survey and inspection using in-house ROV systems equipped for a range of inspections including: Ultrasonic Thickness (UT) measurement. Cathodic Protection (CP) readings. Flooded Member Detection (FMD). Where required, structure preparation is carried out using tools such as cavitation cleaning systems to ensure inspection readings reflect the condition of the structure itself — not the layer above it. Inspection data is collected with positional control, recorded systematically and reported in a format that supports long-term asset management and repeat survey comparison. In constrained nearshore environments, that consistency matters. For asset owners, this provides confidence in the structural integrity of critical infrastructure. For contractors, it offers a specialist inspection capability that integrates cleanly with wider maintenance or intervention scopes. Green Marine — not just a vessel supplier.

Green Marine's Survey & ROV Inspection Capability Survey and inspection offshore are rarely standalone activities. They form part of a wider operational system — combining vessel selection, positioning accuracy, ROV deployment, data capture and reporting into one controlled process. In nearshore and close-to-asset environments, that integration matters even more: - Space narrows. - Access becomes constrained. - Tolerance reduces. Inspection is not simply about deploying an ROV. It is about selecting the right platform, applying the right positioning control, and ensuring inspection tools are used with consistency and repeatability. Task-appropriate vessels — whether Green Storm, Green Quest, Green Interceptor, MV Athenia or our range of RIBs — are selected and configured around the inspection scope and operating environment. Integrated positioning systems, in-house ROV capability and structured reporting then combine to provide inspection that supports informed operational decisions — not just visual confirmation. This applies across: - Asset survey and structural inspection. - Cable route and integrity survey. - Pre- and post-intervention verification. Each requiring a slightly different approach. Each demanding the same level of control. In constrained nearshore environments, inspection is often what determines whether intervention is required at all.

Green Marine: Your Cable Lay, Burial & Deburial Expert Partner Nearshore cable work rarely follows the assumptions it starts with: it’s about following the path in front of you in real time. Ground conditions change, access becomes constrained, and what was buried previously may now need to be exposed, inspected or replaced. In shallow water and close to shore, cable lay, burial and de-burial require adaptability as much as force. This is where Green Marine is typically engaged as an expert partner. Green Marine supports nearshore and short section cable lay, burial and de-burial activities using task-configured vessels designed to operate where larger assets are poorly suited. Our spread-moored platform provides stability and positional control — a method that, when managed correctly, offers controlled and repeatable performance in constrained nearshore environments ROV support adds further flexibility — enabling pre- and post-activity inspection, confirmation of achieved burial depth, and visual evidence where conditions or access make traditional approaches inefficient. This reduces uncertainty and allows decisions to be made on what is actually happening on the seabed, not what was assumed. For asset owners, this means burial outcomes that reflect real conditions rather than theoretical ones. For contractors, it provides a nearshore capability that complements larger offshore spreads and fills the gap where assets are not designed to operate effectively.

Green Marine — Your Cable Handling and Protection Expert Partner Cables require expert handling — supported by precisely engineered and installed protection systems. First, it is about careful handling and controlled burial. Second, it is about longevity — through protection such as loose rock, rock bags or concrete mattresses. The challenge lies in understanding the duty of care at every stage — handling the cable correctly and deploying protection accurately in shallow water, close to structures, and often in variable ground conditions where tolerance is tight. This is where Green Marine is engaged as an expert partner. Using a spread-moored multicat, in our case the Green Isle, positioned close to the asset, nearshore and short-section cable burial and protection works can be carried out with a high degree of care and control. Anchoring strategy, vessel stability and task-specific deck layouts are configured around the protection method being used, rather than forcing a single approach across different conditions. Our in-house ROV capability plays an increasing role. Accurate positioning support during placement, followed by post-activity visual inspection, burial depth verification and integrated reporting, ensures protection is installed as intended, not simply placed. For asset owners, this provides confidence that nearshore cable protection performs as designed. For contractors, it offers specialist capability that integrates cleanly into wider installation scopes without introducing unnecessary complexity or risk. Green Marine, not just a vessel supplier.

Cable landfall is not about laying cable. It is about managing the transition. From the main installation vessel offshore… To a controlled nearshore platform… Through the pre-installed duct onshore. ... Or vice-versa This is where Green Marine is engaged as an expert partner. Landfall is the point where space narrows and tolerance reduces. Where large assets reach their operational limits. Where control matters most. A spread-moored nearshore vessel — typically our Green Isle Multicat — is positioned close into shore to create a stable working platform. From there, the transition is managed: Controlled pull-in support. Diver access where required. ROV support for pulling wire recovery and visual verification. The objective is to ensure the installation asset and specialist teams can complete the most constrained phase of the scope safely and efficiently. And the work does not stop at the waterline. Nearshore operations must integrate cleanly with the onshore interface — managing sea and land as one coordinated system. For asset owners, this reduces risk at one of the most sensitive stages of a project. For contractors, it provides specialist capability that complements larger installation spreads without forcing assets beyond their design intent. Green Marine — not just a vessel supplier.

Nearshore cable work is rarely one problem. More often, it is a series of interconnected ones, including: Access. Ground conditions. Asset proximity. Sequencing. Risk. All interacting in shallow water and constrained nearshore environments. Cable landfall, Short section lay (inter-array, inter-connector), Handling and protection, Burial and de-burial. Each sits within the same operational reality — limited space, changing conditions and low tolerance for error. Standard offshore approaches are not always designed for this. This is where Green Marine (UK) Ltd focuses its nearshore capability. Rather than treating cable activity as a single discipline, we operate across these connected areas with a task-led approach — selecting and configuring the right vessel platform, specialist equipment and operating model for the conditions encountered. Often, this means working in tandem with larger assets where they are unable to operate effectively. Bridging the gap whilst fully integrated to the overall picture. For asset owners; that provides confidence that nearshore cable risk is being managed by specialists who understand the detail. For major contractors; it offers a partner able to step in where existing assets are not suited to close-to-shore or close-to-structure work. Each of these areas deserves its own depth — and we’ll explore them individually in the posts that follow. Green Marine (UK) Ltd — built around nearshore cable tasks, not just vessels.

Green Marine (UK) Ltd is often recognised for its vessels. The fleet is visible, distinctive and active across offshore wind, marine energy and oil & gas projects. What is less immediately visible, is how those vessels are selected, configured and integrated to deliver nearshore and close-to-asset work. Across offshore wind, marine energy and oil & gas environments, the constant is not the vessel type — it is the judgement applied in selecting and configuring the right platform for the work, combined with the competence of the engineering and operational teams behind it. This is the Green Marine (UK) Ltd Expert Partner approach. It matters most where offshore work becomes constrained rather than scaled. Nearshore cable activity. Close-to-asset inspection. Operations around fixed structures. Bespoke sub-sea engineering tasks. These environments demand more than availability — they demand control, adaptability and experience. Here, success is rarely about deploying the largest asset on paper. It is about selecting the right platform and combining it with the right equipment, engineering and operational approach to repeatedly deliver safe and efficient solutions.
