Subsea Supplies has announced a strategic partnership with DRIFT Offshore to enhance subsea operations for its growing US customer base. This collaboration will provide customers across the region with faster access to Burton subsea connectors and cable assemblies, combined with DRIFT Offshore’s technical expertise from its base in Florida.

The partnership represents a joint $250,000 investment in machinery, tooling, stock, and test equipment to support expanded operations. By providing local stock availability and faster response times, it will reduce downtime and enhance supply-chain reliability across the energy sector.

DRIFT Offshore’s 5,000 sq ft repair and engineering facility in South Florida, which opened this year, will now manufacture and distribute Subsea Supplies products. As part of the partnership, Subsea Supplies is helping establish the moulding facility and providing in-house training for DRIFT personnel, ensuring the site delivers the same industry-leading quality and reliable service that customers depend on.

Pauline McCann, operations director at Subsea Supplies, said: 
“This partnership is a significant step forward in how we support our US customers. We have worked closely with DRIFT Offshore and have seen first-hand the quality of its work, commitment to service, and understanding of offshore operations. By combining our product expertise with DRIFT Offshore’s on-the-ground capability, we’re giving customers faster access to the right equipment, backed by a team that can provide real, practical support when it matters most."

Meghan Bowers, co-founder and managing director at DRIFT Offshore, added: 
“This collaboration with Subsea Supplies builds on a strong history of successful teamwork and shared values between our companies. Subsea Supplies was looking for a US partner with strong operational credibility and a genuine commitment to customer service. With our technician-led approach and purpose-built facility, we are proud to be the ideal choice to represent their products and provide local support to customers.”

Subsea Supplies and DRIFT Offshore will be available to discuss the partnership at the 2025 International WorkBoat Show in New Orleans this week from the 3-5 December.
