Recently, Aker Solutions announced several investments in
Malaysia including a new umbilical and a subsea service
base, in addition to new equipment for its high-tech subsea
manufacturing centre in Port Klang. The company is now
further boosting its presence in the Asia Pacific region
with a brand new workshop for lifecycle services and
refurbishment in Thailand. This centre of excellence will
support Aker Solutions' surface wellheads and subsea
tree businesses.
Dave Hutchinson, Aker Solutions' president of the Asia
Pacific subsea business says: "Aker Solutions has
invested heavily to support the growth of the Asia Pacific
region. This service base is a response to several new
orders and recognition of the growing market demand. We are
now even more capable of serving our clients."
The new workshop replaces two other service bases in
Thailand and consolidates Aker Solutions' lifecycle
services in Thailand under one roof. The new facility,
which has a total area of 3 225sqm, opened today.
Aker Solutions has a solid network of surface product
service facilities in the Asia Pacific region. Apart from
Thailand, it has service bases in Vung Tau in Vietnam,
Jakarta and Duri in Indonesia, Perth in Australia, and
Mumbai in India. The surface wellheads manufacturing
facility is located in Batam, Indonesia, and its global
sales office is based in Singapore.
