ABERDEEN, UK -- Geo Century and sister company DOF Subsea UK have joined to consolidate their subsea capability. The amalgamated company will operate as DOF Subsea UK starting immediately.

Ciaran O'Donnell will lead the company, which will operate from Geo Century's premises in Commerce Street, Aberdeen. Ian Valentine, former MD of Geo Century, will continue to run the day-to-day business as general manager, and former CEO Mark Vorenkamp, will be involved in the delivery of special strategic projects.

Geo Century's US and Canadian subsidiaries Geo Century (USA) in Houston, and Geo Century Corp. (Canada) in St John's, will now operate as DOF Subsea USA Inc and DOF Subsea Canada, respectively.

"Geo Century has a well-deserved reputation as a 'can do' company that provides innovative technical and commercial solutions to clients for projects worldwide," says O'Donnell. "Bringing the two companies together allows us to consolidate DOF Subsea's service offering and gives clients continuing access to our deepwater survey and positioning expertise, in conjunction with a range of other first-class subsea services."
