Aqualis Offshore opens office in Shanghai

Just twelve months after starting operations, Aqualis Offshore has established 12 offices in nine countries worldwide.

“China has a growing offshore oil and gas industry and a number of quality offshore construction yards which are increasingly becoming strong competitors to the South Korean and Singapore yards. We are setting up a permanent presence to service the offshore industry and to support a growing list of oil companies and rig owners who utilise the yards in Shanghai and elsewhere in China,” says Phil Lenox, director – Asia Pacific, Aqualis Offshore.

Since mid-2013, a team of seven from Aqualis Offshore’s Singapore office has been on-site in China working on a construction supervision project.

Lenox mentions construction supervision, marine warranty, jack-up trials and commissioning, transportation and rig moving as the Shanghai office’s main fields of activity. It will also offer engineering design services with support from Aqualis Offshore’s other offices.
