Survey Association and Charles Taylor Marine Technical Services enter strategic alliance for North American offshore wind

15 October 2020

Survey Association and Charles Taylor Marine Technical Services announce a strategic alliance to deliver Marine Warranty Survey (MWS) services for the growing offshore wind market in North America.

The alliance will enhance the risk management of offshore wind farm construction projects in North America by building on the two companies’ in-depth marine operations experience.

Survey Association has been involved in offshore wind energy since the 1990s, having acted as MWS on various wind farm projects, including Veja Mate Wind Farm.

We’re looking forward to sharing the knowledge we have built over decades working in the European and Japanese offshore wind energy sectors to benefit the developing US market,

said Henrik Uth, CEO of Survey Association.

This alliance will act as the insurance underwriters’ representatives, making certain that offshore wind projects follow industry best practices as well as safeguarding against potential risks. Through collaboration and pragmatic solutions, the alliance advocates for early involvement at project inception through completion, using a team of experienced marine professionals to deliver projects on time and within budget.

Kuhrt Wieneke, President of Charles Taylor Marine Technical Services, adds:

We are thrilled to partner with the Survey Association on Marine Warranty Services to enhance our clients’ risk management practices and to mitigate risks for their industry leading constiction projects. Leveraging the experience of the Survey Association with our highly technical staff of Master Mariners, Chief Engineers, and Naval Architects will provide clear synergies to our clients.
