From Sapura to Seagems: The Transformation of the Leader in Submarine Engineering
Celebrating its tenth anniversary, Sapura, known for its expertise in submarine engineering, adopts a new name: Seagems. This change, aligned with its history of innovation, symbolizes a new era for the company that is ready to expand its scope in the oil and gas sector. Located in Rio de Janeiro, Seagems reflects its new name inspired by the names of its six vessels: Diamond, Topaz, Onyx, Jade, Emerald, and Ruby, representing the company’s valuable fleet and team.
“The transition to Seagems is not just a name change, it is an evolution of our identity that reinforces our mission to deliver meaningful and quality innovative solutions. Our team, the true gems of our operation, is the great inspiration behind this new chapter,” explains Rogerio Salbego, CEO of Seagems.
The New Organizational Structure
Seagems will continue to provide high-quality services in submarine engineering, but under a new structure divided into Seagems Offshore and Seagems Solutions. This reorganization aims to optimize operational efficiency, allowing greater flexibility and capacity to expand into new markets and subsea projects, meeting the needs of shareholders, customers, and partners.
