Energy and marine consultancy ABL has launched a new entity in Namibia, expanding its growing operations in-country to support the local oil & gas market, whilst also developing its offering to support Namibia’s energy transition.
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 resource. 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 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,” Anne Myers, ABL’s Country Manager to South Africa and Namibia.
“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,” Donald MacMillan, ABL’s Regional Managing Director for 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 consultancy presence in Algeria and Morocco.
