Driven by a major strategic expansion of its operations in Singapore, Denmark’s MacArtney Group is growing its presence and activities in all Asian markets for underwater technology, including repair and maintenance.
Over the next few months, MacArtney Singapore is securing several new staff members, implementing a major expansion of stock and workshop facilities and opening a dedicated slip ring repair and service centre.
Steen Frejo, MacArtney Group, said: "The expansion of MacArtney Singapore will definitely bring us much closer to our Asian customers than what has been possible so far. What started as a one-man regional sales outpost, has now become a fully-fledged MacArtney location with local access to global support".
MacArtney said that its Singapore operations will mean that the group is able work even closer with its regional representative network which will also benefit from direct access to the Singapore based stock of MacArtney and SubConn products.
Since the official opening one year ago, MacArtney has received a warm welcome by all Asia Pacific marine technology markets and segments spearheaded by a surging interest in integrated MacArtney system solutions – especially winches.
The new comes at the same time as the firm announced a major upgrade of two FOCUS-2 ROTV systems belonging to Swedish marine survey contractor and specialist, MMT.
Both vessels have been fitted with new state-of-the-art equipment to carry out geophysical survey missions for clients within oil, gas and renewable energy industries.
Complementing the side scan sonar and sub bottom profiler already onboard, the MMT FOCUS-2 systems have been fully equipped with a multi-beam echo sounder, an inertial navigation system and a doppler velocity log. These upgrades entail that a complete subsea geophysical survey can be carried out at a speed of 6 knots and down to a water depth of 400m.
