Marine South East were delighted to win the Rushlight Wind Power Award earlier this week for their work on projects to reduce the installation and operating costs of offshore platforms.

Simon Powell, Marine South East's Operations Director received the award and presented the findings of a number of projects that Marine South East has worked on to improve the financial viability of offshore platforms at sea at the Cleantech Conference. The Rushlight Show and Cleantech Conference were organished by Rushlight Events and sponsored by Innovate UK and others. The Cleantech Conference attracted an audience of fellow innovators, funding agencies and investors. The event provided excellent exposure for the work that Marine South East has been doing through a number of projects to look at ways to reduce the costs of offshore platforms, particularly innovative anchoring and mooring solutions. This was the 12th year of the Rushlight Awards which took place at The Royal Society in London. The awards were presented by guest of honour, Julian Critchlow, Director General Energy Transformation and Clean Growth, BEIS.
