Irish offshore survey company Green Rebel has been recognised by Certification Europe for reaching global standards for quality and environmental management.
The Cork-based company runs a fleet of vessels, buoys and aircraft used for research data for offshore wind farm construction. It says it secured the new international certification within two years of starting operations.
The company says it went through a multi-stage assessment process to secure all four certificates. The certificates are valid for three years and will be subject to mandatory audits to ensure compliance.
Kieran Ivers, CEO of Green Rebel said that “offshore wind has the potential to deliver vast amounts of renewable energy and help us to build a cleaner future”.
“However, for Ireland to compete globally it’s necessary for Irish organisations to reach the required international standards. There is a high bar for companies to do business in the offshore industry, and rightly so,”he said.
“Having this certification will allow us to tender for an increased number of valuable tenders and it is especially rewarding to achieve this within such a short space of time. It illustrates once again the vast skill and experience of the dedicated Green Rebel team. Reaching these industry standards reflects the high standards we set for ourselves every day, in our determination to deliver excellence for our clients.”
Green Rebel has a number of ISO certifications, and has ateam of scientists, chemists, engineers, ecologists, vessel crew and business practitioners across multiple locations in Cork and Limerick.
It provides the offshore wind and other sectors an “end-to-end set of data services that extend from acquisition, processing, interpretations and reporting, with their fleet of purpose-built vessels, aircraft, floating LiDAR buoys and in-house team of scientists and industry experts”.
