Ocean Kinetics is a private limited engineering company based in Lerwick, Scotland. The company was established by John Henderson in 1992 to specialise in marine engineering solutions.
History
[edit]Established in 1992, the company has expanded to an engineering company in fabrication, oil and gas, renewables, and fishing and aquaculture. The first purpose-built buildings of the company were opened in 1998, and as the company grew an extension was added in 2000 and additional stores in 2002.[1]
Ocean Kinetics expanded its premises in 2012 after announcing its expansion plans of £2M of which £240,000 of funding was provided by Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE) and £500,000 funded by the Regional Selective Assistance (RSA) scheme.[2]
In 2015 the firm was called upon to carry out repairs at the Antarctic Rothera Research Station.[3]
A supply partnership with John Bell Pipeline was also strengthened in August 2015, to help increase the volume of sales in the United Kingdom and overseas.[4]
