MPI Offshore Ltd operates as the UK-based offshore wind arm of Van Oord Offshore Wind UK Ltd, trading as MPI Offshore from its base in Stokesley, North East England. The company positions itself as an engineering, procurement and construction provider delivering all‑round solutions across the full value chain of offshore wind and adjacent marine construction activities. Drawing on more than 15–20 years of offshore wind experience, it focuses on the installation of offshore wind farms, including Balance of Plant (BoP), through to operations and maintenance activities and ultimately decommissioning, offering turnkey delivery from FEED engineering and detailed design through project management to offshore and onshore execution.
MPI Offshore’s capabilities centre on a modern installation and O&M fleet. It operates dedicated offshore wind installation jack‑up vessels MPI Resolution and MPI Adventure alongside Van Oord’s Aeolus, heavy‑lift installation vessel Svanen, cable‑lay vessel Nexus and trenching vehicles Dig‑It and Deep Dig‑It, with access to additional Van Oord marine construction vessels. These assets enable turbine and foundation installation, cable‑laying, cable burial and BoP works, as well as large‑component exchanges and wider offshore construction. The company serves developers and utilities across the UK and Europe and exports services to markets including the Baltics, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Italy, Japan and the USA, with documented work such as main component exchange campaigns for RWE and participation in O&M frameworks and projects promoted by Van Oord.
MPI Offshore follows Van Oord’s group policies on safety and sustainability, embedding the “YES to safety” behaviour‑based programme and publishing QHSE, environmental, energy and sustainability policies. It applies measures such as using HVO30 biofuel on MPI Adventure to cut CO₂e emissions and aligns with Van Oord’s broader science‑based climate targets. The company also invests in skills and workforce development through apprenticeships, traineeships, student placements and employability programmes designed to build a long‑term talent pipeline for the offshore wind sector.
