COLLABORATION


OFFSHORE MARINE SUPPORT LTD AND ENERGY MARINES SERVICES To this end, Offshore Marine Support Ltd (OMS) and Energy Marines Services (EMS) joined forces in September 2012 and the idea of a Vessel Co-Operative was born as the brainchild of Andy Iannetta and Richard Brookin, respectively.


VESSEL CO-OPERATIVE


This Co-Operative has brought together several small owner/operators with one or two vessels with the aim of presenting a more forceful presence in the Renewables Sector. OMS and EMS have built up many senior contacts within the industry which enables the smaller operator to gain access to people that they may not have been able to before by joining the Co- Operative. There is no charge to join.


LIMITED RISK


OMS and EMS market the vessel and submit tenders for appropriate jobs, taking a small percentage of the charter rate should the vessel be successful. Thus risk to the owner is minimal. The range of vessels, and related equipment, available within the Co-Operative is vast – from survey vessels to jack-up barges.


COST EFFICIENT


For the end user, the daily charter rates are kept to a reasonable level as OMS and EMS do not have the overheads of a larger organisation.


DIVERSIFICATION


The Co-Operative has enabled owner/ operators of vessels to diversify their own businesses and work in an industry sector that still displays growth – i.e. many fishing companies have joined the Co-Operative to offer their vessels for guard duties. They have a number of fishermen who completely endorse the concept of the offshore wind industry which has gone a long way to change the mind-set of those who may previously have been against it.


Currently, there are offices in Gloucester, Preston and the Isle of Wight and vessels available are at various locations throughout the UK and Southern Ireland.
