“The acquisition of OWC offers Aqualis access to the offshore wind and renewables industry. In addition the combination will be able to deliver enhanced services to our clients by sharing expertise and resources, particularly where engineering and offshore attendances are required,” says Aqualis chief executive David Wells.

OWC, which had revenues of more than £780,000 ($1.32m) in 2013, has a "strong" pipeline of secured work throughout Europe "for the remainder of 2014 and beyond".
