Coldharbour Marine, long recognised for the design, manufacture and supply of inert gas and fluid handling equipment vessels (FPSOs) has moved into a new 25k sq. ft. headquarters in Linby, Nottinghamshire. All of Coldharbour’s administration, design, research and development functions, its laboratory, factory acceptance test (FAT) rig, stores and warehousing together with its high-tech factory and assembly shop will all now be under one roof.

Coldharbour Marine is in the final stages of accreditation for a patent protected , inert gas driven, in-tank, ballast water treatment system (BWMS). The projected international demand for this product underpins the company’s current ambitious recruitment plans.  According to Coldharbour Marine’s Chief Executive Officer, Andrew Marshall, “The move to larger premises is part of a planned expansion of our inert gas business and will ensure that Coldharbour is able to satisfy ship owner’s and operator’s demand for the BWMS product.”

Over the next 12 months, Coldharbour Marine expects to recruit 100 additional full time staff including marine engineers and designers, project managers and mechanical engineers.
