Maritime & energy brains form new partnership

The companies will work together to explore specialised engineering and technical support services, ship repair and shipyard services, opportunities and collaboration in the superyacht industry, decarbonisation initiatives and ship/yacht newbuilding and conversion projects.

“At Multimarine we strongly believe in joining forces with like-minded organisations and we see that cooperation with Columbia will create several added value opportunities,” said Pavlos Phokas, commercial director of Multimarine Services.

”Both companies will combine their extensive expertise from the maritime and energy industries with a strong focus in becoming key players in the renewable and decarbonisation sectors.”

Joint investments

Collaboration will also focus on energy projects including joint investments in offshore renewable projects, fabrication and construction initiatives and developing port infrastructure.

Multimarine Services is a diverse group of companies and are leaders in providing shipyard, engineering, fabrication, construction, heavy lifting and integrated logistics services in the Mediterranean.

It owns and operates extensive shipyard, fabrication and logistics facilities in Limassol Port, Cyprus, an integrated logistics base for the energy industry in Greece and a ship repair facility in the Port of Antwerp, Belgium.

For the Colombia GRoup, the partnership will strengthen its energy and offshore credentials in the Eastern Mediterranean and internationally.

“We are excited to collaborate with Multimarine Services, a company with decades of experience in the maritime and energy space,” said Mark O’Neil, President and CEO of Columbia Group.

”The synergies between our two businesses are numerous and we look forward to exploring shipping, decarbonisation, energy, and offshore renewables services together.”
