2.0 Capability Statement

Insight Marine Projects Ltd is a marine survey specialist providing a diverse array of hydrographic

construction support services including precise surface/subsea positioning, site surveys and

bathymetric/geophysical investigations.

BDS3000 Seabed Drill, Monopile Installation Support (EMEC, Orkney)

Our clients are predominantly based in the marine renewables sector where we typically provide survey

support during the development cycle of new and existing technologies. In many cases this includes
