The alliance between James Fisher Offshore and Aquatic Engineering and Construction Ltd (Aquatic), announced in February 2016, provides an enhanced customer-driven service which addresses the needs of the offshore oil and gas, telecommunications and renewable energy industries.

The development of this strategic partnership was a direct result of customer feedback, with James Fisher Offshore recognising operators' and subsea contractors' need for an expert supply chain for critical path activities, and the requirement to reduce costs and streamline operations.

The creation of a combined project delivery team was motivated by a willingness to provide an alternative and responsive collaborative service. The single interface means multi-disciplined experts are on hand to ensure the combined service is fully supported and delivered to the highest standard.

The alliance's integrated back deck solution provides significant added value to customers globally by delivering reduced costs and streamlined operations. By working together, the combined capabilities and expertise of James Fisher Offshore and Aquatic provides a single source solution for customers globally.
