AqualisBraemar opens office in Shanghai

2 May 2014 – Offshore marine and engineering consultancy AqualisBraemar continues its rapid global expansion plan and opens an office in Shanghai, China.

Just twelve months after starting operations, AqualisBraemar 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, AqualisBraemar.

Since mid-2013, a team of seven from AqualisBraemar’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 AqualisBraemar’s other offices.

Its core services includes concept, FEED and basic design engineering for upgrades and conversions of jack-ups, rigs and other fixed offshore installations, rig moving, marine warranty, dynamic positioning and construction supervision services.
