Remotely operated vehicle (ROV) provider ROVOP has been awarded £3 million worth of new contracts, which sees the company expanding into two new territories - southeast Asia and Mexico.
The company has also announced the appointment of Neil Francis as vice president of business development in Houston.
Neil brings over 20-years of ROV experience to the role, having held various commercial and operational positions, and will drive and lead ROVOP’s business growth in the US.
ROVOP CEO Steven Gray said: “The market remains challenging but our ability to save operating costs for our customers, while using the best equipment and personnel on the market, means we continue to enjoy regular contract wins.
“These awards further encourage the successful establishment of our Houston office last year and build on the completion of several workscopes in the US Gulf of Mexico and Central and South America over the past three years.
“ROVOP has reduced its pricing to ensure we are competitive and meet our client’s requirements in this challenging market. The challenge the industry faces should not be underestimated but we are working to reduce costs for customers by reducing vessel time and increase efficiency.”
