Venterra expands APAC presence with opening of new Oceanscan facility in Singapore

Singapore, 9 February 2026: Venterra, the offshore wind services group, has significantly strengthened its presence in Asia Pacific with the expansion and opening of an enhanced Oceanscan facility in Singapore, marking a major investment in regional capability to support clients across the offshore energy sector.

Oceanscan has operated in Singapore for several years; the new, larger facility represents a step‑change in scale and capability. It provides expanded office, storage, testing and mobilisation space, reflecting growing client demand and Venterra’s long‑term commitment to the region’s offshore wind and wider energy sector.

Acquired by Venterra in 2024, Oceanscan provides subsea and non‑destructive testing (NDT) and inspection equipment, geotechnical services and specialist personnel. Its expanded Singapore base is the latest milestone in Oceanscan’s growth trajectory and Venterra’s increasingly international footprint, as the group continues to scale its offshore services to support the global energy transition.

Mirroring the capabilities of its Aberdeen headquarters, Oceanscan’s new site establishes a permanent regional base to deliver equipment, services and solutions for offshore projects across APAC. It is supported by a team of 14 highly skilled specialists, reflecting both established capability in the region and strong foundations for future growth. Alongside the office, the facility provides on‑site equipment storage, testing, mobilisation and project delivery capability. Its closer proximity to clients enables better alignment with schedules, reduced lead times and greater operational flexibility for offshore campaigns.

The investment follows a period of strong year-on-year performance for Oceanscan Group, including 54% growth in subsea rental revenue and continued market share gains across its international bases in 2025. Regional growth has included a 30% increase in the Americas (Houston) and 33% growth in Asia Pacific (Singapore), underlining the strategic importance of both markets and the role of local infrastructure in supporting clients effectively.

Derek Donaldson, CEO 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. This investment reflects our confidence in the region and the momentum we’re seeing across our business.”

To mark the official opening, Oceanscan hosted clients, supply‑chain partners and representatives from the British Embassy in Singapore. The event included a traditional Lion Dance ceremony to bless the site and celebrate the Year of the Fire Horse, symbolising energy, momentum and growth.

Satish Kumar, Regional Director of Oceanscan in Singapore, added:

“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. The Singapore hub enhances Oceanscan’s delivery capability and creates a stronger platform for our businesses to work together.”

Singapore’s position as a leading maritime and energy hub, supported by strong infrastructure and access to skilled talent, makes it a strategic base for offshore activity across Asia Pacific. From Singapore, Oceanscan will support offshore campaigns across the region, complementing Venterra’s established operations in markets including Thailand, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan, where the group’s businesses are already delivering complex scopes across offshore energy project lifecycles – from early survey and geotechnical campaigns through to engineering, installation, operational and decommissioning services, solutions and technologies.
