International marine and energy solutions provider, Interocean Marine Services (Interocean), has officially launched a new regional office at the Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC), signaling a major expansion drive to strengthen its footprint across the Middle East’s energy and maritime sectors.
The Dubai office, established under Interocean Energy Services FZCO, represents a key milestone in the company’s global growth strategy and underscores its commitment to supporting the region’s transformation through large-scale energy and offshore infrastructure projects.
Interocean’s entry into the Middle East builds on its longstanding presence through its merged sister company, Rigmar Group, which has executed several high-value projects in the region.

The firm’s integrated service model, anchored on its ‘Move-Manage-Maintain’ philosophy, combines marine operations, engineering, asset integrity, and maintenance to deliver full-lifecycle project support for clients.
The company also announced the appointment of a senior management team to lead the regional expansion: Robert Dalziel as Managing Director, Janko Bukovcan as Divisional Director, and Karthik Elango as Business Unit Director. The Dubai office currently employs 10 staff members, with plans to increase headcount by 150 percent over the next 12 months in response to rising demand from clients across the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region.
Commenting on the development, Dalziel described the move as a “landmark moment” in Interocean’s global growth agenda.
“The Middle East is a key region for our business, and establishing a strong local presence backed by proven leadership ensures we continue delivering operational excellence for our clients,” he said. “As our clients pursue international growth, Interocean is matching that ambition expanding our global reach to provide world-class marine, engineering, and asset integrity services with local agility and insight.”
Interocean’s Dubai base joins its growing global network, which includes offices in the United Kingdom, Norway, West Africa, and North America, further enhancing its capacity to deliver integrated technical and operational solutions for energy projects worldwide.
Looking ahead, the company said it anticipates a sharp uptick in project activity through the remainder of 2025 and plans to open additional offices in Abu Dhabi, Doha, Singapore, and Saudi Arabia, reinforcing its strategy for sustainable, diversified growth across key global markets.
