Venterra has expanded its Asia Pacific presence with the opening of an enhanced Oceanscan facility in Singapore.
Venterra said the new, larger site marks a major investment in regional capability and provides expanded office, storage, testing and mobilisation space to support growing client demand across the offshore energy sector.
According to Venterra, Oceanscan was acquired in 2024 and provides subsea and non-destructive testing equipment, geotechnical services and specialist personnel, with the upgraded base representing the latest step in its international growth.
Mirroring the company’s Aberdeen headquarters, the Singapore facility establishes a permanent regional hub supported by a team of 14 specialists and offers on-site equipment storage, testing, mobilisation and project delivery capability.
The company added that the investment follows strong year-on-year performance for Oceanscan Group, including 54% growth in subsea rental revenue and market share gains across its international bases in 2025.
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.”
Oceanscan marked the opening with an event for 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.”
