Motive Offshore Group (Motive) has announced a significant six-figure investment in its newly acquired facility at the Loyang Offshore Supply Base in Singapore. This marks the latest milestone in Motive’s strategic integration of Aquatic, following the company’s acquisition in 2024.
The investment solidifies Motive’s long-term commitment to the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region, expanding on its regional footprint established in 2021 with the launch of its Taiwan facility. The new Singapore site is strategically positioned on the quay, enabling direct vessel mobilisation and faster service delivery for offshore operations.
Equipped with large-capacity tensioners, modular reel drive systems, and in-house test beds, the facility offers Motive’s full suite of cable handling and engineering services. This advanced infrastructure will allow the company to better serve key offshore markets such as Australia, Malaysia, and Indonesia, while also enhancing global contract delivery through Motive’s network of specialist hubs across four continents.
“Our investment in Singapore is a testament to the growth we’ve already achieved in APAC,” said Dave Acton, CEO at Motive. “Singapore was the clear answer when it came to expanding our capabilities and meeting client demand across offshore renewables, decommissioning, and traditional energy markets.”
With headcount at the facility expected to grow to 20 by the end of the year, the move also supports local employment and community engagement. A traditional opening ceremony is planned for June to honour local customs and signal Motive’s intent to become a valuable partner in the region.
Graeme Chalmers, Eastern Hemisphere Regional Director, added: “Singapore presents a unique opportunity for us and our clients. We’re wholly committed to delivering tailored, efficient solutions across APAC and beyond.”
