Marine and lifting equipment specialists Motive Offshore Group (Motive) and subsea and decommissioning equipment rental specialists Hiretech Limited (Hiretech) have joined forces to bring superior technology and service solutions to the Middle East.
Motive, with its UAE hub and existing catalogue of subsea marine and lifting equipment services, is bolstering its current suite with Hiretech’s extensive rental fleet of decommissioning and subsea technology, bringing much-needed consolidation and in-market offshore services support for the region.
Graeme Chalmers, Regional Manager Middle East at Motive Offshore Group, commented, “Having worked with Hiretech for many years, we’re thrilled to formalise our partnership. Harnessing our skills and insights, developed in-step with Scotland’s trailblazing strides in the oil & gas and offshore wind markets, we understand the importance of market consolidation when it comes to keeping costs low and are looking forward to offering greater levels of support from our Middle East base.
“2022 is a big year for Motive. This partnership marks the next stage of our journey, and we are looking forward to continuing to expand our global footprint through increasing sales by 15% in this key region.”
Along with the technology and equipment, Hiretech will also deliver a comprehensive training programme to Motive’s engineers and technicians, enabling seamless delivery of products and technical support.
Andy Buchan, CEO, Hiretech Limited, remarked, “Hiretech has historically served the Middle East region from the UK. This new Middle East partnership puts our equipment in country, significantly reducing mobilisation times and costs for our Middle Eastern clients, with the additional advantages of utilising the extensive commercial, logistical, technical and equipment support available from the Motive FZE team.”
