Multimarine  Services joins a Pioneering Project Consortium for Offshore Renewable Energy and Defence Coexistence funded by the European Defence Agency (EDA)

Multimarine is proud to announce its participation in the groundbreaking Project Symbiosis, an initiative designed to foster the coexistence of offshore renewable energy installations and defence activities within European maritime spaces. The project, which is funded by the European Defence Agency (EDA), brings together a consortium of leading experts in renewable energy, marine infrastructure, defence systems, and environmental research to address the unique challenges and opportunities of integrating sustainable energy solutions with strategic defence operations.

As a key consortium member, Multimarine will leverage its extensive expertise in the advanced manufacturing of marine, offshore, and naval structures, particularly within energy, infrastructure, and defence applications. With a proven track record in delivering complex engineering, fabrication, and construction projects for the offshore renewable energy sector, Multimarine is well-positioned to contribute to the project’s objectives of harmonizing offshore energy deployment with defence operations.

Multimarine’s Role in Project Symbiosis

Multimarine’s participation in Project Symbiosis underscores its commitment to innovation and sustainability within the maritime and energy sectors. The company will focus on the following areas:

• Advanced Manufacturing Capabilities: Utilising state-of-the-art shipyard and fabrication facilities in Cyprus, as well as integrated logistics bases in Greece and Belgium, Multimarine will support the design and construction of offshore renewable energy infrastructure. This includes providing specialised fabrication services that align with the technical requirements of defence and energy sectors.
• Integration of Renewable Energy and Defence Needs: Multimarine’s role will be critical in developing practical, real-world solutions that ensure the effective coexistence of offshore wind farms and other renewable installations with defence activities. The company’s extensive capabilities in the life cycle of energy infrastructure projects will be leveraged to validate the practicality and feasibility of project recommendations.
• Contribution to Knowledge Sharing and Stakeholder Engagement: Through active participation in regional workshops, simulations, and evaluations, Multimarine will help facilitate collaboration among key stakeholders, including defence agencies, renewable energy developers, policymakers, and regulatory authorities. This collaborative approach is essential to ensure that the developed strategies are robust, adaptable, and aligned with both energy and defence priorities.

A Strategic Initiative for Europe’s Future

Project Symbiosis is a vital initiative aimed at securing Europe’s strategic and sustainable energy future by addressing the challenges associated with the coexistence of offshore renewable energy projects and defence operations. The project will involve comprehensive mapping of Europe’s sea basins, advanced simulation and modelling, and the development of tailored mitigation strategies to ensure a balanced approach that supports both renewable energy growth and defence readiness.

“We are excited to be part of Project Symbiosis and collaborate with our distinguished partners to pave the way for a future where sustainable energy and defence needs harmoniously coexist within our oceans.” said Mr Pavlos Phokas, Commercial Director of Multimarine Services Ltd. “Our participation not only highlights Multimarine’s expertise in advanced marine and offshore engineering but also our commitment to advancing sustainable and innovative solutions that benefit both the energy and defence sectors.”
