Unique Group Acquires Oceanwide Safety at Sea
Integrated subsea and offshore solution provider Unique Group informs it has acquired Oceanwide Safety at Sea.
Founded in 2002, Oceanwide designs, constructs and performs maintenance on self-propelled hyperbaric lifeboats. The company will be wholly owned by Unique Group but will continue to be managed by its founders, Rob Bunders and Klaas Kapteijn, with the current workforce being retained.
According to Unique Group, Oceanwide will be able to expand its services across the regions where Unique Group has existing facilities, including the Middle East, Singapore and the U.S. Oceanwide will also be able to use Unique Group’s capital to invest in research, development and continued innovation.
Unique Group added that the acquisition of a Rotterdam office will open up access to new clients across the Antwerp, Hamburg and Bremen seaports.
