EIVA a company that provides software, hardware and integrated solutions for any offshore survey and subsea engineering operations, has announced that it has entered into a partnership with OceanCosmos Nigeria Limited to become its first representative in Nigeria.

OceanCosmos Nigeria is to offer its clients both EIVA’s hardware and software solutions as an indigenous point of contact that knows the trend of the Nigerian offshore construction and survey industry.

“It is vital to EIVA to ensure that customers are offered the best possible service both before and after delivery of a product. Further developing our representative network has been a key strategic focus in the past year. The OceanCosmos team have many years of experience in the offshore industry, including first-hand, offshore experience with EIVA NaviSuite. This makes the company a valuable partner for our already established, extensive list of customers involved in hydrographic, geophysical, construction, engineering and other offshore-related survey activities”, EIVA sales director Jakob Møller Nielsen said told Subsea World News.

Part of the company’s product portfolio include oil production activities. Africa is one of the leading oil exporters globally and for the last ten years, the company, has witnessed a rising interest from African countries, Nigeria in particular.

“We are working closely together with many offshore operators in Nigeria, which have seen a growing number of activities with EIVA’s solutions on board. Establishing a collaboration with a local, indigenous Nigerian company was an obvious step to take”, Nielsen stated.

He added that EIVA is looking into the potentials of further expanding its activities in Africa in order to feed growing demand.
