Intermoor and Jumbo Offshore are forming a strategic alliance. Together, the companies aim to deliver integrated project management, engineering, transport and installation services to the offshore oil and gas as well as floating wind sectors.
This partnership brings together Intermoor’s expertise in mooring systems and offshore engineering (Intermoor is Actean’s mooring and anchors business line) with Jumbo Offshore’s capabilities in heavy-lift transport and mooring installation. The alliance seeks to offer an end-to-end solution across the offshore moorings lifecycle — enhancing efficiency, reducing risk, and improving schedule certainty for complex offshore campaigns.
David McGuire, EVP of Intermoor at Acteon: ‘As offshore projects grow in scale and complexity, collaboration becomes essential. This alliance reflects a shared commitment to delivering smarter, more integrated solutions that reduce interfaces.’

Focus on deep-water mooring market
Under the alliance, Intermoor will lead tow-out, station keeping, and hook-up operations, while Jumbo Offshore will spearhead the pre-lay of deep water mooring systems using its DP2 Heavy Lift Crane Vessels. Both companies will jointly provide project management and engineering services, with chartering of third-party assets such as anchor handlers and tugs to ensure flexibility and responsiveness.
‘This partnership is built on mutual respect and a shared vision for the future of offshore energy and specifically the deep-water mooring market,’ says Brian Boutkan, Director Commerce at Jumbo Offshore. ‘By integrating our services, we’re eliminating bottlenecks and delivering a safer, more predictable pathway from planning to execution. It’s a win-win for operators, developers, and the industry at large.’
The alliance also aligns with Acteon’s recent business consolidation into four core business lines — UTEC (geo-services), Menck (marine foundations), Intermoor (moorings and anchors), and 2H (engineering consultancy) — reinforcing its commitment to delivering engineering-led solutions that simplify offshore energy infrastructure.
