Gardline Group

Gardline Shipping was first established in 1969 to provide marine support to the offshore oil and gas industry in the North Sea. In 2009, as part of 40th anniversary celebrations, the Gardline Group was established to bring together many multidisciplinary companies involved in a range of activities that include satellite communications, marine sciences, security, ship building, dry dock engineering, geographical information systems, digital mapping and vessel charters.

In 2010, the company was awarded environmental survey work for the proposed Atlantic Array offshore wind farm project.[http://www.maritimejournal.com/news101/marine-civils/hydrographic-survey/gardline-group-gathers-offshore-wind-work Gardline Group gathers offshore wind work] (Maritime Journal, 20 April 2010)
