CRP Subsea is a polymer engineering business that develops and manufactures buoyancy and protection products for harsh offshore environments in the offshore renewables and oil and gas industries. Operating since 1978 from Skelmersdale in North West England, the company focuses on polymer and syntactic foam‑based systems used on subsea cables, umbilicals, risers, pipelines and drilling equipment. Its product families cover impact and abrasion protection (including the Uraduct range), bend and fatigue protection (bend restrictors, bend stiffeners and NjordGuard and NjordShield cable protection systems), buoyancy and floats (such as distributed and modular buoyancy modules and NjordFloat cable buoyancy), downhole protection using crushable foam wraps, guides and clamps, seabed stability solutions and sensors and monitoring systems that integrate with subsea hardware. CRP Subsea operates on-site full‑scale and laboratory material testing facilities and uses a semi‑automated production line at its UK site for cable protection systems.
The company supplies cable protection and buoyancy solutions to both fixed and floating offshore wind, as well as oil and gas subsea, drilling and downhole applications, marine hose systems, subsea power and telecom cables, and marine vessels. It has delivered cable accessory solutions to at least 16 offshore wind projects in the UK, 12 elsewhere in Europe, 2 in the US, 4 in Taiwan and 3 in Japan, and has been contracted on projects such as Ørsted’s Borkum Riffgrund 3 and Gode Wind 3 and RWE’s Nordseecluster A in the German North Sea. CRP Subsea works globally through local partners in regions including Brazil, China, Italy, Japan, North America, Norway, South Korea and the Middle East, and operates within an ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 certified management framework. Since November 2022 it has formed part of AIS, whose subsea portfolio it complements with buoyancy, cable protection and related SURF products.
