Intermoor and Jumbo Offshore forge ‘strategic alliance’ to advance offshore energy projects

Intermoor and Jumbo Offshore say they have created a “strategic alliance” aimed at jointly delivering fully integrated project management, engineering, transport and installation services to the offshore oil and gas as well as floating wind sectors.

This partnership brings together Intermoor’s expertise in mooring systems and offshore engineering with Jumbo Offshore’s capabilities in heavy-lift transport and mooring installation.

By uniting complementary strengths, the companies say that the alliance offers a streamlined, end-to-end solution across the offshore moorings lifecycle – enhancing efficiency, reducing risk and improving schedule certainty for complex offshore campaigns.

The companies say that energy operators and developers will benefit from a cohesive offering that spans mooring system engineering, pre-lay, transport, tow-out and hook-up. 

The alliance will support a broad spectrum of floating platforms, including FPSOs, FLNGs, FSRUs and floating wind turbine foundations. Together, the partners say they will deliver enhanced operational control and safety, backed by extensive deepwater experience and proprietary technologies such as Intermoor’s suction embedded plate anchor (SEPLA).

Under the alliance, Intermoor will lead tow-out, station keeping, and hook-up operations, while Jumbo Offshore will spearhead the pre-lay of deepwater mooring systems using its DP2 heavy lift crane vessels. 

Both companies will jointly provide project management and engineering services, with chartering of third-party assets such as anchor handlers and tugs to ensure flexibility and responsiveness.
