in AREG’s fast-growing membership. Aberdeen City and Shire boasts more than 900 energy businesses including the largest concentration of subsea capabilities in the world.
“The EOWDC should enable
advancements in design, efficiency, cost- effectiveness and productivity,” said Ms McCorkindale. “This will help businesses take advantage of the vast offshore wind resource by building its associated supply chain and generating jobs.”
SUPPLY CHAIN EVENT
Aberdeen City and Shire’s renewables capabilities are also reflected in onshore wind. A recent supply chain event for Vattenfall’s Clashindarroch onshore wind farm development near Huntly, Aberdeenshire, attracted very serious interest from more than 50 companies.
Ms McCorkindale said: “The strong turnout is another clear indication of Aberdeen City and Shire’s extensive supply chain capabilities in renewables. Projects like
Clashindarroch are key onshore wind developments that businesses want to become involved with.”
Through its drive and commitment, the real business and economic benefits are being seen as a result of AREG’s work. Together with its members, AREG is building significant momentum of the region’s renewable energy credentials.

DUNDEE WATERFRONT
announced that they are joining in the regeneration of the Dundee waterfront. They will be in the first wave of companies entering the new Dundee One complex at River Court.
ACTIVITY
The company is currently active in the UK defence, oil and gas and offshore renewable sectors, offering services from Warranty survey and client representation to vessel suitability surveys, navigational and environmental risk assessments. The office in Dundee is placing Blue Wave Maritime Ltd firmly at the forefront of the offshore renewable market in Scotland, providing qualified and experienced marine professionals to this new and burgeoning sector.
REGENERATION DUNDEE ONE COMPLEX Blue Wave Maritime Ltd has
EXPANSION
Blue Wave Maritime Ltd were founded in April 2010 and are the world leaders in providing maritime professionals for warship commissioning and combat trials to the defence export market. This continued success has allowed an expansion to the offshore renewable market in 2011 and continued expansion into Dundee in 2012.
The company believes that they have an eclectic enough background that they will be able to offer informed, independent, marine advice to a still very new industry. We are not a big consultancy, but have a large amount of knowledge amongst the team. We believe the personal touch, certainly within oil and gas left the market a long while ago. Blue Wave Maritime
Ltd would like a return to local businesses thriving rather than much larger Aberdeen based organisations taking away the revenue.
OFFSHORE WIND SECTOR The offshore wind market supply chain locally is slowly being put in place through Dundee Renewables and they are looking forward to regenerating Dundee as a vibrant marine city.
EXPERIENCED HEADS
John Davies and Andy Burton are the co owners of Blue Wave Maritime Ltd and have both served in the Royal Navy and merchant navy. John moving to Scotland to work as an Inspector of Lifeboats before moving into the the oil and gas sector. Andy has been heavily involved in marine co-ordination within offshore wind for the past two years.
It is interesting that, although the market is new, the main protagonists are enormously powerful and large organisations. Blue Wave believe it is up to small companies within the East of Scotland to be bold enough to compete against the larger Aberdeen based sector and ensure our own identity as a renewable.
