Venterra, the offshore wind services group, has bolstered its presence in the Asia Pacific region by opening an enhanced Oceanscan facility in Singapore. This expansion marks a significant investment aimed at supporting the offshore energy sector, reflecting growing client demand and Venterra’s commitment to the region.
The new facility, which mirrors the capabilities of Oceanscan’s Aberdeen headquarters, offers expanded office, storage, testing, and mobilisation space. Acquired by Venterra in 2024, Oceanscan provides subsea and non-destructive testing (NDT) equipment, geotechnical services, and specialist personnel. The Singapore site establishes a permanent regional base, supported by a team of 14 specialists, enhancing operational flexibility and reducing lead times for offshore projects.
Oceanscan has experienced strong growth, with a 54% increase in subsea rental revenue in 2025. The Asia Pacific region, including Singapore, saw a 33% growth, highlighting the strategic importance of local infrastructure. Derek Donaldson, CEO of Oceanscan, stated, “Holding a greater proportion of our rental fleet closer to where it’s needed improves availability and reduces mobilisation time.”
The facility’s opening was celebrated with a traditional Lion Dance ceremony, attended by clients, supply-chain partners, and representatives from the British Embassy in Singapore. Satish Kumar, Regional Director of Oceanscan, emphasised the importance of the new facility in supporting clients with enhanced capabilities.
Steve Coates, COO at Venterra, noted that the Singapore hub strengthens Oceanscan’s delivery capability and supports Venterra’s long-term commitment to the region. From Singapore, Oceanscan will continue to support offshore campaigns across Asia Pacific, complementing Venterra’s operations in countries such as Thailand, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan.
