Energy
The UK energy sector is undergoing a fundamental transformation as it works toward achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, in line with national legislation and global climate commitments. According to the 2025 UK Energy Transition Outlook, the sector is at a critical juncture, with 88% of energy suppliers and investors accelerating their decarbonisation goals in the past year. This shift is driven by a combination of regulatory pressure, public demand, and the urgent need to mitigate climate change. The transition is reshaping the energy landscape, with rapid growth in offshore wind, hydrogen, carbon capture and storage (CCS), and smart grid technologies. The International Maritime Organization’s net-zero target for shipping by 2050 also intersects with offshore energy infrastructure, reinforcing the need for integrated, sustainable marine engineering solutions. As the UK continues to scale up renewable energy and reduce reliance on fossil fuels, the sector is increasingly reliant on advanced engineering, digitalisation, and resilient infrastructure to meet future energy demands.
Naval Solutions Ltd can apply its deep engineering, marine systems, and safety expertise to support the evolving needs of the energy sector, particularly in offshore, coastal, nuclear, and oil and gas environments. Drawing on our heritage in high-integrity systems and complex platform integration, we are well-positioned to deliver a wide range of services across the full lifecycle of energy assets—from concept and design through to operation, maintenance, and decommissioning.
In the offshore and oil and gas domains, we can provide structural and systems engineering support for platforms, floating production units, and subsea infrastructure. This includes dynamic positioning systems, mooring analysis, and the integration of complex marine systems to ensure safe and efficient operations in challenging environments. We can also deliver engineering solutions for power generation, distribution, and environmental control systems on offshore energy assets, including wind turbine installation vessels, support ships, and oil and gas service vessels.
Our naval architecture and stability analysis capabilities can support the design and assessment of floating energy platforms and marine support vessels, ensuring compliance with safety, performance, and environmental standards. These services help operators optimise vessel performance while meeting regulatory requirements.
In the nuclear sector, we can contribute to the development and integration of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) and Advanced Reactor Technologies. Our expertise in systems integration and safety case development allows us to bring defence-grade assurance processes to civil and commercial nuclear applications.
We are also equipped to develop and implement comprehensive safety management frameworks, including hazard identification, risk assessment, and regulatory compliance. These systems can be tailored to meet the high-integrity requirements of offshore, nuclear, and oil and gas operations.
As the energy sector moves toward decarbonisation, we can advise on the integration of low-carbon technologies such as hybrid propulsion, battery storage, and hydrogen fuel systems. These solutions support the transition to cleaner operations and align with national and global climate goals.
Finally, we can assist with lifecycle and decommissioning services, including planning, end-of-life assessments, and environmentally responsible decommissioning strategies. This ensures that energy assets are managed sustainably from commissioning through to retirement.
