OEG Offshore Global is investing record funds to expand its rental fleet at its 20 worldwide bases
The Aberdeen-based company, which provides specialist offshore cargo carrying units and other equipment to the global oil and gas industry, has set its 2014 spending budget at $22 million (£13.4m), its highest yet.
The majority of the investment will support international customer demand for the group's product range which includes specialist containers, cargo baskets, half heights, waste units, refrigerated containers, tanks, workshops and A60 zoned cabins.
In a first for the company, a $5m portion of the spending has been committed to a fleet of around 200 transportable offshore tanks. These will include chemical tanks and Jet A-1 heli-fuel tanks, which can safely store and transport aviation fuel, all built to international standards.
John Heiton, chief executive of OEG Offshore, said: "This record investment will allow OEG to respond quickly to supply chain demand as the production of global oil and gas increases, supported by one of the largest, most diverse and modern fleets of specialised containers, engineering cabins and other equipment."
He added: "Our full range, tailored to the size and specification our customers require to satisfy their operational needs, can be obtained on a sales or rental basis from our 20 bases strategically located around the world."
The company said the multi-million pound budget would be strategically invested across Europe, the Americas, Africa, Middle East, Asia Pacific and Australia.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
