US-based Chouest Group has acquired ROV services provider ROVOP. With this acquisition, the company alongside its subsea service company, C-Innovation, will control a fleet of over 100 ROVs and 6 autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). The US firm said that bringing ROVOP under the company’s umbrella not only expands its service offerings but also provides ROVOP with support and capabilities of other Chouest companies, including its vessel-based operations, Caltex Oil Tools, Bram Offshore, and C-Innovation. Before the acquisition, ROVOP was backed by specialist energy private equity firm Bluewater. Financial details of the deal were not revealed. “This acquisition is a key part of our strategy to enhance our integrated subsea services. We are excited to welcome ROVOP’s talented team into our family. Their expertise and capabilities are crucial as we expand our portfolio and continue to offer industry-leading solutions to our clients,” said Dino Chouest of the Chouest Group. The integration of ROVOP into Chouest’s operations will begin immediately, with full integration expected to enhance service delivery and operational efficiency across all entities involved. “We look forward to integrating with the Chouest family and leveraging their global resources to enhance our capabilities and expand our reach,” added Neil Potter, CEO of ROVOP. googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1_95_0_1_2'); }); TagsUnited Kingdom United States
