Renewables

Handling export and inter-array cables or moorings systems in dynamic offshore conditions presents several challenges. Strong currents, waves and tidal movements can compromise the structural integrity of these flexible products over time, but also subjecting them to unnecessary trauma during quayside handling and installation can cause unseen damage resulting in future failures, which can lead to substantial financial losses, environmental damage and interruptions in power supply. Drawing on MDL’s decades of experience in the energy sector, combined with our innovative capabilities and drive to constantly challenge everything – including ourselves – we are equipped with enabling assets , engineering expertise and operational know-how to help you address these issues and extend the lifespan and reliability of your infrastructure.

Are you looking to progress an offshore development in a constrained market where access to specialist vessels and tools is limited? Or maybe you need to quickly replace a damaged section of cable to restore power generation? With MDL portable flexlay technology and transpooling expertise, you can convert a locally available vessel to lay inter-arrays, export cables and mooring lines. Our experienced Engineering and Project Management teams will help you plan and deliver these alternative solutions. By leveraging MDL's specialised skills and market-leading equipment, ports can optimise their infrastructure, streamline operations and meet the growing demands of the renewable energy sector. This empowerment not only enhances operational capabilities but also positions ports as critical hubs in the transition to sustainable energy solutions.

We deliver lifting and specialist handling solutions suited for both floating assets and onshore production facilities. The reliability and quality of our equipment is second to none, but it’s the ingenuity of our designs that gives you the edge. Over 25 years of experience in the wider energy and industrial sectors we have built extensive in-house capability ready to support you in resolving your challenges in the renewables space - even if it is a market first. From upgrading production facilities, to quayside handling and mobilising product, to performing installation and replacements using market-leading technology renowned for its operating and safety features.
