A maritime consultancy in the offshore renewables sector has expanded at Ocean Village Innovation Centre (OVIC) in Southampton.
NASH Maritime now works at a larger office at OVIC, having first started out there last year with a virtual address.
The consultancy, one of 46 at OVIC, currently has a team of six professionals and a network of industry associates providing shipping, navigation and marine risk expertise in maritime operations and infrastructure development projects.
Founded by Dr Ed Rogers, with fellow director Jamie Holmes joining soon after, NASH Maritime has been involved in more than 30 offshore renewable projects to date.
"Demand comes from the global expanding offshore renewables sector, where we are working with funders, developers and planners on identifying and optimising sites in UK waters, taking these through the leasing and consent process and into construction and operation," said Ed Rogers.
Jamie Holmes added: "As a young business with stacks of industry experience going back within the ports, oil and gas and offshore renewables sectors, we have a place of identity which aligns closely with our own, and we are proud to host our clients here."
Other maritime consultancies at OVIC include DHI Water Environments (UK) and MarineSpace.
Stephen Deller, OVIC’s centre manager, said: "NASH Maritime initially had a virtual office here at OVIC and has expanded since last July, culminating with their recent doubling of office size and with flexibility to further increase its footprint in the years to come without the expense and inconvenience of relocation."
OVIC is operated by Oxford Innovation, which runs 26 innovation centres across the UK.
