PEM Offshore Limited signed a multi-million dollar contract with Kongsberg Maritime on 7th May 2013 for the supply of a full suite of Offshore Anchor Handling, Dynamic Positioning, Power Management and Crane Simulation systems. The new simulators will form the main infrastructure for a world-class offshore simulation training centre and the first of its kind in Nigeria and West Africa.

The new training centre will be located in Lagos and serve to support the training of local and foreign offshore personnel involved in offshore oil and gas operations, underpinning a growing market demand for highly competent and qualified personnel for this high risk environment.

With operations in Nigeria, the USA and Trinidad & Tobago, PEM Offshore has a proven track record as a reliable solutions provider offering a wide range of services aimed at improving safety, quality and reliability in the marine and oil & gas sectors. The establishment of the new offshore simulation training centre will create new high-value employment opportunities for the region and underpin the requirements for qualified marine personnel in this primary offshore supply hub for West Africa.
