Seatrium and Cochin Shipyard level up offshore collaboration

Seatrium Offshore Technology (SOT), a wholly owned subsidiary of Singapore-based offshore, marine, and energy solutions provider Seatrium, has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with India’s Cochin Shipyard (CSL) to strengthen cooperation in the offshore sector across India and Asia.

The MoU will enable Seatrium to combine its engineering expertise, specialized equipment, and offshore solutions with Cochin Shipyard’s infrastructure, fabrication facilities, and ship repair experience to pursue business opportunities.

The focus of this partnership will be on maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) projects in Asia, with the intention of expanding into other offshore markets in the region.

Seatrium said the MoU sets a framework for joint marketing, project execution, and technology collaboration, paving the way for a long-term partnership with Cochin Shipyard to support regional energy transition and offshore development.

The collaboration builds on an earlier agreement signed in November 2024 for the joint design and supply of critical equipment for jack-up rigs that serve the Indian market.

In addition, the latest deal is seen as the foundation for the Seatrium’s long-term participation in India’s offshore industry.
