Safinah renews “Fit for Offshore Renewables (F4OR) status

Safinah, a leading coatings and engineering consultancy, is proud to announce the successful renewal of its Fit for Offshore Renewables (F4OR) “Granted” status. This recognition, awarded through the Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) Catapult’s F4OR programme, reflects the company’s continued commitment to operational excellence, sector readiness, and its strategic role in supporting the UK’s clean energy transition.

The F4OR programme helps UK supply chain companies enhance their capabilities to deliver within the offshore renewable energy sector. Achieving “Granted” status is a rigorous process that requires evidence of strong management systems, sector-specific knowledge, and long-term growth potential. Safinah’s renewal demonstrates its ability to consistently meet the programme’s high standards.

"This successful renewal is a testament to the dedication and expertise of our team. Our involvement in the F4OR programme has strengthened our business processes and further enhanced our ability to support clients in the offshore wind sector with sustainable, cost-effective coating solutions.”

The renewal not only reaffirms Safinah’s position as a trusted partner to offshore developers and contractors and the wider supply chain, but also underscores its alignment with the UK government’s goals to grow a robust, homegrown supply chain for offshore renewables.

Safinah is F4OR granted since 2022. Its continued status enhances its visibility and credibility in the sector, supporting its mission to help clients extend asset lifespans, reduce maintenance costs, and lower environmental impact through expert coatings consultancy.
