PanGeo Subsea has opened its operations office in Aberdeen, Scotland, as part of its business plan to grow the company’s services worldwide. Located in the Arnhill Business Park, Westhill, PanGeo Subsea Scotland will support global operations for offshore oil and gas and renewable energy.

Moya Cahill, President of PanGeo Subsea, made the announcement during the Oceanology International show in London. “Aberdeen was a strategic choice for the hub of our offshore operations. We have identified a strong market demand for our 3D acoustic imaging service and want to bring our leading edge technology directly to our customers.”

Specializing in 3D and 4D subsea acoustic imaging, PanGeo Subsea delivers solutions that mitigate risk and create value for subsea installations for oil and gas, offshore renewable energy and other industries including mining and military applications.

In support of PanGeo Subsea’s presence in Europe, Ms. Cahill also announced some significant staff appointments.
