In detail

How this segment is brokered

Carousels, tensioners, routing systems and overboarding chutes only work as a coherent set. Sourcing them piecemeal usually means paying back the integration cost later. Dockstr scopes them as a system from the first conversation.

Where a project needs equipment outside our core partnerships, we say so and source it through the wider network.

Lay cable carousel in operation.

Inter-array and export cable lay volumes for offshore wind have re-shaped the market. Larger cable diameters, higher tensioner capacity and faster mobilisation cycles are now the norm.

Oil and gas field development and interconnector projects run parallel demand, with different cable specs and mobilisation profiles. The desk speaks to lay contractors, EPC contractors and developer-owned crews across all three markets.
