How Dockstr engages
Inside the Renewables sector
Renewables buying behaviour is different from oil and gas. Fleets are standardised across many near-identical assets, spend is scheduled against O&M contracts rather than one-off mobilisations, and reliability and turnaround time matter more than headline capability. That pushes most enquiries towards compact observation and mini-class ROV, survey and positioning kit, and cable-handling equipment sized for array work.
New equipment is distributed through the OEM partner roster, usually as a multi-unit build with spares, training and a delivery schedule tied to a campaign window. Used equipment is brokered where a documented unit can be in the water faster than a build slot allows, which is common when a developer takes inspection in-house mid-contract.
Installation-side spreads for array and export cable overlap with our Subsea Telecom & Power coverage; where the buyer is a wind developer or a wind O&M contractor the mandate runs here, and the cable-handling equipment itself is covered on that page.

Typical engagements
Recent mandate patterns in this sector
01
Fleet distribution; wind O&M inspection ROV
O&M contractor procuring observation-class ROV across two service vessels for scheduled turbine and array-cable inspection. Distribution mandate run end-to-end; specification, FAT and operator familiarisation inside the campaign window.
02
In-house capability; developer taking inspection off contract
Developer moving scheduled inspection in-house mid-contract needed working kit before the next campaign. Documented used systems sourced and delivered ahead of the build slot the OEM could offer.
03
Tidal programme; survey and positioning spread
Tidal developer commissioning a commercial array specified a survey and positioning package for site characterisation and post-installation verification. Scoped, priced and delivered as a single spread.
04
Divestment; post-campaign surplus
Installation contractor closing out a wind array campaign brought surplus handling and inspection equipment to the desk. Placed with two buyers in the same market rather than stored at the mobilisation base.
FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the main procurement scopes in an offshore wind project?
Offshore wind projects involve several major procurement scopes across the project lifecycle, including foundations, wind turbine generators and towers, inter-array and export cables, transport and installation, offshore substations, and operations and maintenance. Each scope involves different contractors, marine assets, equipment requirements and procurement strategies. Dockstr understands this wider project environment while focusing its equipment activities on the specialist and secondary marine assets relevant to these operations.
What marine assets and equipment can Dockstr broker for offshore wind projects?
Dockstr’ brokering activities are centred on specialist and secondary marine assets such as ROVs, barges, survey and positioning systems, cable-handling equipment, trenching and burial systems, deck equipment and other project-specific marine equipment available through the secondary market.
What advisory services can Dockstr provide to companies active in offshore wind?
Dockstr can support offshore wind contractors, equipment owners, manufacturers and investors with market research and analysis, equipment and fleet strategy, commercial and technical due diligence, market entry, asset optimisation and M&A-related advisory. Its work combines sector knowledge with intelligence on companies, projects, vessels, equipment and market activity.
Can Dockstr value equipment and marine assets used in offshore wind?
Yes. Dockstr can provide independent valuations of specialist marine equipment and relevant assets used across offshore wind projects. The assessment combines technical characteristics, condition and documentation with current market demand, comparable transactions, geographic factors and potential alternative uses across adjacent offshore sectors.
Can Dockstr supply new equipment for offshore wind operations?
Yes. Through its Distribution activities and selected manufacturer partnerships, Dockstr can provide new specialist equipment for offshore wind survey, inspection, subsea and support operations. This complements its Brokering and Advisory capabilities, allowing clients to assess new and secondary-market routes within a broader equipment strategy.
