Mr Lionel Lee, EMAS’s Managing Director, said, “This is an important milestone for us as we further solidify our capabilities in Asia-Pacific and break new ground in South America, reaffirming our growing presence as a global leader in marine and offshore support.”

“Brazil in particular will be investing heavily in offshore oil and gas infrastructure and services over the next few years in order to achieve its goal of being one of the world’s top oil producers. This creates significant opportunities for us for both offshore support and construction servic! es.” Mr Lee added.
