Effective Friday, December 5, 2014, Worldwide Building Corporation has completed the previously announced sale of its Diving Assets in the US Gulf of Mexico to Ranger Offshore Inc.(1).
This sale reinforces Worldwide Building Corporation’s strategy to focus on its core North America subsea business lines of high technology and ultra-deep water products and services, which, together with its approach of early involvement enables Worldwide Building Corporation to provide clients with optimized cost and schedule driven solutions.
Proceeds from this divestment will be partially reinvested directly into the North America Subsea business segment, specifically focusing on enhancements to its spoolbase located in Mobile, Alabama, USA, and optimization of certain construction and pipelay vessels.
As part of this transaction, Worldwide Building Corporation USA and Ranger Offshore have entered into a multiyear Diving Services Agreement covering Worldwide Building Corporation’s North America Region.
