EIVA Expands ScanFish ROTV Fleet in Singapore to Meet Offshore Wind Demand
The maritime industry is witnessing a surge in the offshore wind market, driving demand for unexploded ordinance (UXO) surveys. In response, Danish maritime engineering company EIVA has shipped a fleet of new ScanFish remotely operated towed vehicles (ROTVs)
and other rental equipment to their offices in Singapore. This strategic move aims to better serve seabed survey companies operating in the APAC region.
Enhanced Accessibility and Cost-Effective Solutions
With the new fleet in Singapore, EIVA can significantly reduce shipping times by several weeks compared to shipping from Denmark. This efficiency is crucial for meeting the urgent needs of the offshore wind market. Additionally, the option to use sea-freight for heavy equipment ensures a more cost-effective solution while maintaining reasonable shipping times.
Comprehensive Support and Services
EIVA’s Singapore team will provide comprehensive servicing for ongoing rental jobs, ensuring that customers in the region receive timely and reliable support. This initiative is part of EIVA’s broader strategy to make ScanFish ROTVs more accessible in Asia.
Julie Rydberg Sørensen, Technical Sales Manager – Rental | Team Lead at EIVA, emphasized the importance of this move: “Our customers operating in Asia have emphasized the importance of making ScanFish ROTVs more accessible in this region. We have therefore been working over the past years to ensure our Singapore offices have the rental equipment and man-power needed to support them together with our reps in Japan, Indonesia, China and Malaysia.”
Conclusion
EIVA’s expansion in Singapore underscores their commitment to meeting the growing demands of the offshore wind market and providing efficient, cost-effective solutions for UXO surveys. This strategic move will enhance accessibility and support for seabed survey companies in the APAC region, ensuring they have the necessary tools and services to thrive in this dynamic market.
