Global offshore accommodation specialist, HB Rentals is expanding its presence in Australia and investing approximately AUS$1 million (£680,000) to meet an anticipated growth in demand in the region for its products.

The company is introducing four new product lines to the area including A60 Temporary offshore accommodation and living quarters modules, ATEX Zone one pressurised A60 cabins, refrigerator containers and workshops to support its growth strategy.

Zone one modules rated to ATEX standard were launched in the North Sea last year and provide the highest safety and technology standards in the world.

The company has had a presence in Australia through an agency partner for the past six years and is now operating independently from its offices in Perth and operations base in Bibra Lake.

Michael Bradley, director of sales and business development for EMEA and Asia Pacific regions, said: “We see huge potential for our business in Australia, which is a rapidly expanding market.

“We have invested significantly in our fleet in response to a global increase in demand from clients for offshore modules and accessories and we are now well placed to meet the region’s needs.”
