GROUP
FEATURE ARTICLE
Over the past few years, OEG has undergone a remarkable period of transformation,
evolving from a trusted global leader in the provision of cargo logistics equipment
to the oil & gas industry (with a unique 50-year heritage) into a comprehensive,
all-energy solutions company, with a leading offshore renewables services offering
that is positioned for energy transition opportunities and growth.
In this article, Chief Marketing &
Communications Officer Caroline Merson
reflects on our journey, sharing the rationale
behind our recent brand repositioning,
and highlights how we are uniting our
capabilities, people, and services to support
the future of the global energy sector.
Reflecting on our journey over the past 12 months at
OEG, we’ve achieved a lot – and what a ride it has
been. The business has undergone major
transformation – being acquired by Apollo with an implied
valuation of $1billion, increasing our headcount and adding
more services and products to our offering through organic
and inorganic growth – and we are just getting started.
At the heart of our continued growth and evolution is
OEG’s ambition to be an all-energy provider, providing
mission critical equipment services and solutions to
support the broader energy sector. Having a brand and
market narrative that reflects this ambition is key to our
ongoing success.
OEG is a recognised, strong, transformational and
successful brand, which has previously been represented
by sub-brands focused around particular sectors or
specialisms. Earlier this year we made the strategic
decision to shift our brand strategy to a ‘branded house’
model, moving away from having a collection of brands
to promote our diverse range of services, to a single
purpose-led and powerful brand that showcases our
collective strength, all under ‘OEG’.
A single brand adds further meaning and clarity to the
OEG name, making it impactful and representative of our
unity and market intent. Today, it is an acronym for ‘One
Energy Group’ which clearly sets out who we are, how we
deliver and the markets we serve. It resonates well with
our employees as we consolidate our business and grow
together as one team, aligns our culture around shared
core values and strengthens our commitment to make a
real difference for our customers.
Whilst our cargo logistics division was already well
established and co-ordinated, having been a leading player
in the market for several decades, we’ve now begun the
process of bringing together all our offshore renewables
acquisitions under OEG to offer a comprehensive and
integrated range of services across the lifecycle of offshore
wind projects.
For OEG, there is huge merit in going to market as ‘one’,
especially with so many complementary capabilities under
our roof. We have ambitious plans for growth and through
the foundations of a single united company and brand, we
have greater horsepower and an enhanced service offering
to support our customers at scale.
For our customers, one company with one brand translates
to greater collective expertise, broader capabilities, and a
more powerful strategic partner to support the full lifecycle
of their energy projects. It provides absolute clarity,
confidence, and reassurance that every part of OEG is
aligned and committed to delivering exceptional value.
Looking ahead, we’re excited and determined to build on
the vast successes achieved in the past couple of years.
Those following us in the media and through our social
channels will be familiar with the pace of our milestones
and developments. OEG’s future is full of opportunity, as
are the prospects for those considering joining our team.
Central to our success of course, are the talented people
within the business whose passion and commitment drive
our growth. As well as providing personal development
opportunities, OEG is always on the lookout for additional
expertise, those enthusiastic and skilled individuals around
the globe who want to be part of our next chapter. We are
one company, one team and with one shared purpose –
to deliver exceptional solutions and value to our customers
at every stage of their energy journey.
We are one company,

CARGO LOGISTICS
FEATURE
Trusted global partner in
resilient and growing markets
E
nergy projects are vulnerable to disruption and CCUs and tanks form the backbone of energy
logistics, transporting everything from catering supplies and equipment, to drilling fluids, chemicals
and waste. Scarcity of units, especially during peak demand or weather disruptions, can severely
impact operational continuity. Secured access to reliable, certified infrastructure is vital in complex,
capital-intensive offshore operations, a reality amplified by today’s volatile market conditions.
Growth meets scarcity
The global CCU market is projected
to grow from approximately USD 2.5
billion in 2025 to nearly USD 4.1 billion
by 2030, driven by a rising offshore
oil and gas exploration and expansion
in offshore wind. With equipment
scarcity, long lead times, and supply
chain volatility driving up costs,
access to compliant infrastructure
is no longer a convenience, it’s a
strategic necessity.
Delays can derail offshore operations
and erode profitability, making the
ability to act quickly and confidently
a competitive edge. OEG’s flexible,
rental-based commercial model
ensures rapid access to certified
equipment tailored to the demands
of offshore projects, helping maintain
operational momentum. It also
supports regions with fluctuating
demand or limited capital expenditure
constraints, where equipment
ownership may not be viable.
Partnerships as a
strategic lever
As global demand for offshore cargo
carrying units (CCUs) accelerates,
strategic partnerships are becoming a
cornerstone of operational resilience.
OEG’s approach is built on agility,
trust, and deep industry knowledge.
With over 50 years of offshore
expertise, and a global rental fleet
of more than 80,000 high quality,
internationally compliant containers,
tanks, and specialist modules,
OEG helps customers to navigate
a dynamic and increasingly
constrained market.
Even with the world’s largest CCU
fleet, peak activity periods, such as
shutdowns and turnarounds, can
stretch availability. To address this,
OEG is actively investing in fleet
optimisation and exploring shared
access models that improve utilisation
and responsiveness. Unlocking
these efficiencies requires proactive
collaboration. When customers
commit to strategic planning and
resource pooling, we can collectively
ensure equipment availability, reduce
idle time, and maintain momentum,
even in the most demanding
conditions. By partnering with OEG
customers are investing in access to
critical equipment when needed.
Digitalisation as a path
to efficiency
Partnerships also play a vital role
in advancing digitalisation and
operational efficiency in the deployment
and management of CCUs and tanks.
Through IoT-enabled tracking and
predictive maintenance, OEG is
transforming visibility and resilience
across fleets. In Norway, three key
customers have partnered with
OEG to pool resources, creating a
shared access model that increases
equipment availability while reducing
costs. By off hiring without the fear
of losing access to critical units,
these operators have improved fleet
utilisation and accelerated turnaround
schedules. This collaborative approach
ensures equipment is available when
needed, minimising idle time and
avoiding costly disruptions.
A unified energy vision
As offshore operations become more
digitally connected and efficiencydriven,
the energy transition is
reshaping infrastructure demands,
particularly in the renewables sector.
Offshore wind and hybrid energy
developments are accelerating, and
with them, the need for agile, scalable
logistics solutions. CCUs are poised
to play a growing role in supporting
construction, commissioning, and
modular energy projects.
While currently a smaller market,
early engagement is key. OEG stands
ready as a trusted partner across all
energy sectors, offering both standard
rental CCUs and custom-fabricated
modular infrastructure tailored to
specific project needs. Our approach
prioritises reusable, adaptable
solutions over fixed, CAPEX-heavy
installations, reducing environmental
impact and supporting low-carbon
goals. By collaborating now, renewable
operators can help shape industry
standards, streamline deployment, and
lay the foundation for a more efficient
and sustainable sector.
Ready for today, built
for tomorrow
Customers trust OEG to deliver
certified, well-maintained equipment
that’s ready for deployment in
demanding offshore environments.
Our scale and experience empower
operators to respond swiftly to
challenges, maintaining flexibility
in a dynamic market. We’ve long
championed lifecycle efficiency
through reuse and robust asset
integrity management, helping
customers meet both operational
and ESG objectives.
As market constraints intensify,
collaboration becomes a strategic path
to resilience, addressing challenges
driven by climate change, geopolitical
instability, and rapid technological
evolution. In offshore energy, where
precision, compliance, and speed are
critical, strategic partnering is more
than a business model for OEG, it’s
a catalyst for innovation, agility, and
sustainable growth.

SUBSEA
TECHNOLOGY FEATURE
Redefining deep-sea
trenching with clean,
unmatched power
A
s subsea exploration ventures
further and deeper, the technologies
that support it must evolve to meet
the rising demand for precision, power,
and sustainability. SeaJet E-CFE ® , the
all-electric controlled flow excavation
system developed by OEG, is redefining
what’s possible beneath the waves,
delivering trenching capability from
just 1.5 metres of water to depths
beyond 2,500 metres, without a drop
of hydraulic oil in sight.
Game changing technology for subsea
excavation and intervention
Born from a collaboration between OEG and subsea
robotics specialist Soil Machine Dynamics, SeaJet
represents a complete rethinking of subsea excavation.
Its twin-tool electric configuration provides 400 kilowatts
of consistent, high-performance output, offering around
50 percent more power than conventional hydraulic
systems. Essentially, it delivers this power across all
operating depths, which means full trenching performance
whether working in coastal shallows or on the abyssal plain.
Designed to be non-contact, SeaJet is as suited for
sensitive cable installations around live assets as it is for
heavy trenching through dense clay and gravel. Its ability
to adapt to varying soil conditions and seabed types
makes it a formidable tool for the lifecycle of offshore
infrastructure, from construction to maintenance, repair,
and final decommissioning.
Recent project success and track record
In field campaigns, including a recent offshore wind project
with Nexans, SeaJet outperformed legacy equipment. The
system exceeded burial targets in shallow waters where
other technologies had stalled due to cavitation and lack
of subsea power. Nexans’ Project Manager, Geir Korstad,
described SeaJet as a “very powerful tool,” praising both
its trenching precision and the environmental benefits
delivered during the campaign.
Other recent mobilisations this year have included the
successful deployment of the system for Equinor’s Empire
Wind project in the US and for NKT on the Beatrice offshore
wind farm in the UK.
What truly sets SeaJet apart in the context of deep-sea
operations is its sustainability profile. With zero hydraulic
fluids, the system eliminates the risk of oil spills – a major
concern in fragile deep-sea ecosystems. It operates with
significantly reduced noise emissions, making it compatible
with the regulatory constraints of sensitive marine
environments, and it improves deck safety by removing
many of the high-pressure components associated with
traditional systems.
Behind the scenes, SeaJet’s modular design allows for
fast mobilisation, reduced vessel day rates, and enhanced
diagnostic control. Operators benefit from real-time
performance data and fault detection, streamlining both
deployment and troubleshooting in complex subsea
environments. These efficiencies not only reduce operational
risk but also offer significant commercial advantages
for clients navigating increasingly cost-conscious
offshore markets.
SeaJet is more than a powerful excavation tool it’s a
future-ready platform. With integration of remote operations,
enhanced survey packages, and autonomous functionality
on the horizon, it is positioned to lead the next generation of
clean subsea technology. As offshore energy projects scale
in both size and ambition, the need for tools that can trench
deeper, work smarter, and operate cleaner has never been
more pressing.
In the pursuit of the ocean’s most challenging frontiers,
SeaJet proves that the deep sea applications don’t
have to come at a high environmental cost. It delivers
power with precision, capability without compromise,
and performance that’s built not just for today’s projects,
but tomorrow’s possibilities.

SUBSEA
SUSTAINABILITY
Pioneering the latest
advancements in subsea
corrosion protection
A
t OEG, innovation is an important part of our
operations, and our research and development team
is committed to developing innovative tools and services
that allow us to deliver solutions and projects more safely,
efficiently and reliably.
In the subsea field, we have developed various tailor-made
tools for installing and inspecting subsea components,
from idea and initial concept through to implementation
and offshore operation.
ICCP-SAM tool
One such development is OEG’s ICCP-SAM (Impressed
Current Cathodic Protection – Subsea Assembly Method)
tool, designed to remotely install ICCP anodes on monopile
foundations of all sizes, anywhere on the foundation and
even in the roughest ocean conditions.
Developed in collaboration with CORROSION, a market
leader in the protection of offshore wind turbine foundations
against corrosion, the ICCP-SAM represents OEG’s
investment in ensuring the future resilience of offshore
wind infrastructure.
Investing in technology upgrades
The latest upgrades to the ICCP-SAM focus on optimising
both the installation process and the performance of the
anode system, improving the reliability of the tool in
challenging offshore subsea conditions. Significant
improvements include a redesigned clamping mechanism,
with the system now featuring four bolts to securely clamp
onto the anode by interlocking two plates.
Our research and
development team is
committed to developing
innovative tools and
services that allow us
to deliver solutions and
projects more safely,
efficiently and reliably.
The updated design eliminates the need for bolting directly
onto the foundation, ensuring greater flexibility and durability
and allowing the bolts to stretch and withstand higher
pressures. Improvements have also been made to the size of
the system, resulting in an even more compact design which
will allow for longer anodes which can cover a larger surface
area of the monopile, improving the efficiency of cathodic
protection over a broader region.
Field-proven results
The ICCP-SAM tool is currently being used by Equinor
and Polenergia on the Baltyk 2 & 3 offshore wind farms in
Poland, where it will protect 100 monopile foundations. This
milestone not only reinforces the value of the ICCP-SAM
solution but also underscores OEG’s commitment to
delivering sustainable, long-term services to the Polish
offshore wind sector as part of our broader European presence.

Thrill-seeker takes
on solo South
Pole challenge
The 730-mile Antarctic expedition will push Ian
Hughes to his physical and mental limits in pursuit
of the world’s toughest adventure milestone, the
rare Explorers Grand Slam.
Ian Hughes, Chief Operating
Officer for OEG’s subsea
division, is embarking on an
extraordinary solo ski expedition
to the South Pole, aiming to raise
£100,000 for the Always a Rifleman
Programme (AARP).
This November, Ian, will set out on an
unsupported 730 mile (911km) ski to
the South Pole, hauling a 115kg Pulk
(sled ) for 10 hours a day in minus 10
-45°C temperatures, spending up to
60 days alone across the Antarctic
Plateau including his birthday,
Christmas and New Year on the ice.
The South Pole challenge marks
the key hurdle in the rare Explorers
Grand Slam (climbing the highest
peak on every continent plus both
Poles), completed by fewer than 75
people globally. Only seven Brits have
achieved it, and Ian, at almost 57 years
old, will be the eldest to attempt the feat.
Alongside his long list of extreme
adventures – including Everest,
Denali and the various Ultra endurance
events, Ian has also built two multimillion-pound
subsea businesses,
including Hughes Subsea which was
acquired in 2021 by OEG, while raising
two children with his wife, Carolyne.
Despite having 30 plus years’
experience in extreme environments
in the military, deep-sea diving and
exploration, Ian explains why this
is his biggest challenge yet: “As a
deep-sea diver, you spend many days
in isolation in conditions where you
can’t see what’s right on front of you
but being alone for 50 days without
seeing a living soul will be mentally
tough, not to mention the extreme cold.
The Antarctic storms and winds can
drop the temperature to below -50, so
protecting even the smallest areas of
skin from exposure will be an ongoing
battle and the physical exertion of
pulling a 115kg sled will put huge
demands on my body.”
