  • Submitted by: Liam McArthur, Orkney Islands, Scottish Liberal Democrats.
  • Date lodged: Thursday, 06 March 2025
  • Motion reference: S6M-16711

That the Parliament congratulates Green Marine UK on the news that it has received the financial backing to launch a new Subsea Services Department; recognises that the seven-figure investment will target the burgeoning offshore wind sector, which it believes holds the potential to unlock Scotland’s potential as a renewable powerhouse; considers that Green Marine UK benefits from its base location in Orkney, with the world’s second largest installed offshore wind capacity on the doorstep; further considers that this investment represents an opportunity to increase jobs and business development both locally in Orkney and nationwide; recognises that the company’s expansion has been boosted by financial backing from the Highlands and Islands Enterprise, and will facilitate the purchase of cutting-edge subsea technology from Rovtech, Sonardyne, Norbit, Voyis, Tritech, Digital Edge Subsea and EIVA, as well as a range of other sensors; understands that this technology has redefined industry benchmarks and offers significant versatility for modern subsea data collection, with adaptability to a number of challenging underwater environments; considers the impact that this technology will have on offshore wind, oil and gas, defence and decommissioning projects to be highly valuable, and further congratulates Green Marine UK on its success in securing this investment and expansion opportunity.
