Marine Industry

Being based on the South Coast it was inevitable that FAB have built up a portfolio of Marine based clients.

We now work with a broad range of clients covering Naval Architecture, Vessel coding and surveying, Boatyards and Boatbuilding, Marine Engineering, Electronics and Refrigeration, Recruitment, Offshore Support Vessels, Fleet Management Software, Vessel Security, Marine Training and Professional Qualifications and Vessel Charters.

Working with these clients has given us experience in dealing with some of the marine specific issues surrounding VAT and marine fuel duties, but also a good understanding of the industry in general which has enabled us to identify and claim Research and Development Tax Credits for several of our clients. We are also supporting clients with Innovate UK grant funding support.

Our clients deal with some of the global names such as Sunseeker, Princess, Maersk, Carnival and  Stena to name a few, so we are well connected.

Following our move to Port Solent last year we feel even more a part of the local marine community and this is now something we are looking to expand upon to utilise our expertise further.

We are therefore actively looking to work with South Coast based marine businesses who are looking for someone who understands their market and challenges.
