‘Since joining Malin, I have had the opportunity to work across a variety of scopes – from heavy lift transportation contracts, to design and fabrication projects. One of the reasons that I was attracted to the Group, amongst others, was the organisation’s ability to deliver full turnkey solutions – starting with concept development by the Malin Skunks, design and manufacture at Malin Newbuild and Malin Equipment, and then delivery by the world-class Malin Abram team. I was very excited when offered the opportunity to re-establish our consultancy arm, Malin Marine Consultants, a unit heavily focused on innovation that works across the projects and specialist business units, filling any gaps and helping bring the wider Malin team together to make best use of their full set of skills.

Malin are well known and respected for often working with clients who have been let down by previous suppliers, or on projects that have become more complicated than initially expected. This thirst for innovation and ability to  investigate and effectively plan puts us in a strong position to assist the industry with new, emergent areas.

For example, a well considered, research feasibility study that looked into the real time monitoring and recording of fuel usage on a workboat has given us fantastic insight into how power is consumed on board – and this insight has in turn opened up a range of design, fabrication and deployment opportunities for the wider Group – and industry.’
