Ian stewart, business development manager at Maritime Assurance and Consulting (MAC) explains to 'Maritime Journal1 why in the harsh and unforgiving marine environment, the role of Marine Warranty Surveying (MWS) has become ever more important to the renewables sector. Marine renewable energy is a growing technology in a severe offshore environment. Typically these structures are installed in some of the harshest marine locations, which report high winds and currents. For any such renewables project, one of the most expensive undertakings is the installation of the equipment.
