Venterra has strengthened its Asia Pacific footprint with the opening of a larger Oceanscan facility in Singapore, marking a significant investment in regional infrastructure and offshore energy support capabilities.
The new facility provides expanded office space, storage, testing and mobilisation areas to meet growing client demand across the offshore energy sector. According to the company, the upgraded base enhances its ability to deliver subsea and non-destructive testing (NDT) equipment, geotechnical services, and specialist personnel across the region.
Oceanscan, which was acquired by Venterra in 2024, has recorded strong year-on-year performance, including a 54% increase in subsea rental revenue and market share gains across its international bases in 2025. The Singapore expansion reflects the company’s broader international growth strategy.
Mirroring Venterra’s headquarters in Aberdeen, the new Singapore site establishes a permanent regional hub supported by a team of 14 specialists. The facility offers on-site equipment storage, testing, mobilisation, and project delivery capabilities designed to streamline operations and reduce response times.
Derek Donaldson, chief executive of Oceanscan, said: “Holding a greater proportion of our rental fleet closer to where it’s needed improves availability and reduces mobilisation time, while our growing team ensures we can continue to deliver safe, efficient and high-quality solutions.”
Donaldson added: “This investment reflects our confidence in the region and the momentum we’re seeing across our business.”
The opening was marked by an event attended by clients, supply-chain partners and representatives from the British Embassy in Singapore.
Satish Kumar, regional director of Oceanscan in Singapore, stated: “Singapore has long been an important base for Oceanscan, and this new facility allows us to better support our clients with more equipment, more space and stronger on-the-ground capability.”
Steve Coates, chief operating officer at Venterra, said: “Venterra has a well-established track record of supporting complex offshore scopes in Asia Pacific; by investing further in permanent regional infrastructure, we’re strengthening how we support projects across the region and demonstrating our long-term commitment to our clients.”
Coates added: “The Singapore hub enhances Oceanscan’s delivery capability and creates a stronger platform for our businesses to work together.”
With the expanded facility, Venterra aims to reinforce its regional presence and enhance service delivery for offshore energy projects across Asia Pacific.
