“ABL has been supporting energy and marine projects in Namibia for over a decade. Opening an official entity is the natural next step for us and cements ABL’s commitment and local engagement to support the country in delivering on its energy objectives,” commented Anne Myers, ABL’s Country Manager to South Africa and Namibia.
Namibia is a significant player in African energy, with a focus on traditional oil & gas development, alongside plans to harness its extensive solar and wind energy resources. The country’s renewable energy potential is also evident in its promise as a green hydrogen hub for the African continent.
ABL Namibia will provide the company’s full technical service offering in energy and marine consulting, with a focus on marine technical due diligence, rig inspections and rig moving, marine inspections and surveys, marine warranty survey, and maritime services, including ports consulting.
Via the support of its sister company, the renewable energy consultancy OWC, the new entity will also provide a springboard off which to expand the company’s expertise in energy transition and green energy technical advisory, engineering, and consulting.
“ABL Namibia adds to our legacy presence in the South African market, based in Cape Town. It also represents the next step in our continued expansion as the go-to energy and marine consultant to support safety and sustainability in African energy and oceans. We are very excited to see what will come next from this exciting new venture,” said Donald MacMillan, ABL’s regional managing director for the Middle East, North & South Africa & India.
ABL Namibia complements the company’s further presence in the African continent, with offices in Egypt, Republic of Congo, Ghana, Nigeria, Senegal, and South Africa. ABL is further supported by its consultancy presence in Algeria and Morocco.
ABL is part of Oslo-listed ABL Group ASA, an independent energy and marine consultancy group to the global oil & gas, renewables, and maritime sectors.
