The report frames the arrival of TVO Mariner as a concrete enhancement of the group’s capability in those areas.
Strategic intent within the group

The delivery in mid-September is presented as the latest in a sequence of moves to build a specialised fleet able to address technical subsea requirements, and the report places the TVO Mariner’s arrival in this strategic context.
