French marine renewable energy consultancy Innosea is set to rebrand as OWC in July, finalising its integration into its sister company and marking a further consolidation within the ABL Group’s renewables division.
The move will bring together Innosea’s expertise in technical advisory, floating solar PV, wind turbine generator (WTG) loads, and climate risk assessment under the OWC brand. The rebranding is aimed at expanding OWC’s geographical reach and enhancing its service offering across global offshore wind and marine renewable energy markets.
“This is the natural next step in our journey,” said Hakim Mouslim, Innosea co-founder and OWC’s regional director for Europe. “By joining forces under the OWC brand, we’re unlocking greater synergies, expanding our reach, and offering even more comprehensive solutions to our clients worldwide.”
Innosea has been part of the ABL Group since 2018 and has worked in close alignment with OWC since 2021. The rebranding will also establish OWC’s formal presence in France, supporting the country’s growing offshore wind sector and energy transition goals.
“Innosea has already been working closely with OWC, as our French branch since 2021 – we share the same culture and values,” said Will Cleverly, OWC CEO. “Officially as one company, we can pool more resources, a wider breadth of engineering disciplines and experience, and leverage our global footprint to bring the cutting-edge services that we provide to benefit more markets, both onshore and offshore.”
As part of the restructuring, Innosea’s structural, hydrodynamics, and foundations engineering teams have transitioned to Longitude, ABL Group’s design and engineering unit. The integration aims to strengthen Longitude’s offshore wind design capability and expand its presence in the French market.
“Longitude has long served French renewable energy development, predominantly in marine operations engineering,” said Jan-Erik Berg, global director of Longitude’s offshore wind design. “It is exciting to have a formal base to provide more localised support to the French offshore and other renewable markets.
