Briggs Marine has acquired a majority stake in ARB Wind, an inspection, testing and certification business focussing on the wind energy industry. ARB Wind provides services to wind energy clients onshore and the new association with marine services provider Briggs, will enable these skills to be transferred offshore.
Briggs and ARB Wind will collaborate closely to provide operations and maintenance services to the increasing number of Scottish windfarms, with Briggs providing the marine expertise and project management capabilities to support expansion. ARB Wind will remain an autonomous company, teaming with its network of regional, national, and international partners and will continue to target growth in its established onshore wind markets.
