Independent Technical Risk Advisory for Offshore Infrastructure Investors.

Helping investors, insurers and developers understand the engineering risks within complex offshore and subsea systems.

Drawing on more than 30 years of global offshore engineering experience across energy, telecommunications and subsea infrastructure, Odyssey provides independent engineering insight to support informed investment and project decisions.

Our Services

We act as an independent second line of defense between engineering reality and investment decision making.

We do not design, build, install, operate or insure assets. Our sole function is to reduce downside risk for capital.

Service 1

Pre-Investment Technical Risk Review

Independent assessment of engineering risks within offshore infrastructure projects prior to capital commitment.

Typical scope:

  • design assumptions

  • subsea cable systems

  • installation methodology

  • contractor capability

  • project delivery risk

Service 2

Subsea Cable Risk Assessment

Detailed evaluation of subsea cable design, installation and operational reliability.

Focus areas:

  • fatigue risk

  • burial and protection strategy

  • installation constraints

  • environmental loading

Service 3

Project Assurance Advisory

Independent review of engineering strategy during project development and execution.

Helping clients ensure that design, installation and operational assumptions remain aligned with real-world conditions.

Service 4

Technology and Innovation Review

Evaluation of emerging offshore infrastructure technologies.

Examples:

  • new subsea power systems

  • cable technologies

  • installation methods

Why Independence Matters

Independent Engineering Insight

Infrastructure investment decisions increasingly rely on complex engineering systems that investors and financial institutions may not encounter in day-to-day operations.

Odyssey provides independent technical insight to ensure engineering risks are clearly understood before capital is committed.
