At ABL, our mission remains clear: to help clients globally to de-risk their projects and assets, and drive sustainability across energy and oceans.
Five years ago, AqualisBraemar’s acquisition of London Offshore Consultants (LOC Group) created a leading global independent offshore energy and marine consultancy. Since then, ABL has continued to grow in scale, expanded to 44 countries, and delivered on our founding promise: to be the trusted partner for clients navigating complex energy and marine challenges around the world.
On December 22, 2020, AqualisBraemar and LOC Group joined forces, with a combined team of 880 employees across 39 countries, and with a bold vision: To create a consolidated global consultancy with increased scale and a wider geographical footprint, to better support even more clients in energy and oceans; To synergise complementary technical offerings and expand our service portfolio; To support the growing demand for energy transition technologies and sustainability; To blend market-leading expertise in rig operations, marine warranty survey, and maritime services; To combine legacies in energy and oceans, dating back to 1856 (AqualisBraemar) and 1979 (LOC Group).
“Bringing AqualisBraemar and LOC together was about consolidating two leading market players, doubling our combined size and enhancing our global footprint, with a vision to reach even more clients around the world. Together, we shared a commitment to de-risk operations and drive efficiencies on behalf of our clients, rooted in the expert loss prevention, loss management and OPEX services that we can offer as ABL. And we have continued with this commitment – entering new countries including Namibia, Romania, Saudi Arabia and Panama – whilst bringing in new companies that both further consolidate and diversify our technical offering.” Reuben Segal, Group Chief Growth Officer, Co-Founder of ABL and former ABL Group CEO.
“From the very beginning this was a successful partnership on account of how complementary both companies were to each other. It’s brought us even closer to more clients across renewables, oil & gas and maritime – as well as the rapidly growing sustainability and energy transition space. It’s given us the foundations to keep growing to the benefit of our clients – bringing in new services to ensure we are a single-source provider to support projects through-life. And it has brought countless benefits to our colleagues with more opportunity for learning and development, travel and technical growth. Here’s to the next 5 years and indeed the next 50!” RV Ahilan, Chief Energy Transition Officer and former CEO of LOC.
In just five years, ABL has: Further grown in scale and enhanced its global footprint to 44 countries; Entered new markets in response to our client needs; Diversified our technical offering through strategic acquisitions; Supported more clients than ever before, across renewables, oil & gas, maritime, and energy transition.
Our ability to offer clients a single-source solution, leveraging global reach and multidisciplinary expertise to support projects from inception to operations to decommissioning – no matter where in the world they operate.
Our global presence means we are based in every major maritime and offshore energy hub, with a promise to expand to where are most needed. This ensures we continue to provide a global offering via local market expertise.
As we celebrate our fifth anniversary, we remain committed to supporting our clients’ ambitions and driving positive change in the industry. With historic legacies, a growing team, and an unwavering focus on sustainability and innovation, we look forward to the next five years – and beyond.
