Venterra has strengthened its Asia Pacific presence with the opening of an expanded Oceanscan facility in Singapore, marking a major investment in regional capability.
The company said the new, larger site provides significantly increased office, storage, testing and mobilisation space to support growing client demand across the offshore energy sector.
Oceanscan, which was acquired by Venterra in 2024, supplies subsea and non-destructive testing equipment, geotechnical services and specialist personnel. Venterra said the upgraded Singapore base represents the latest step in its international growth strategy.
Mirroring Oceanscan’s headquarters in Aberdeen, the Singapore facility establishes a permanent regional hub staffed by a team of 14 specialists and offering on-site equipment storage, testing, mobilisation and project delivery capability.
Venterra added that the investment follows strong year-on-year performance for the 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 the rental fleet closer to projects delivers tangible operational benefits.
“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,” he said.
“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, said the new facility strengthens local delivery capability.
“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,” he said.
Steve Coates, chief operating officer at Venterra, said the expansion underlines the group’s long-term commitment to Asia Pacific.
“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,” he said.
“The Singapore hub enhances Oceanscan’s delivery capability and creates a stronger platform for our businesses to work together.
