He noted that the partnership demonstrates confidence from a global energy leader and reinforces Vantris Energy’s position as a trusted service provider in the international oil and gas market.
“This achievement validates our strategic direction to strengthen our operations and maintenance portfolio while expanding beyond Malaysian waters,” he said. “It is a testament to the technical expertise, safety standards, and reliability of our team and our long-standing collaboration with Rawabi Holding in Saudi Arabia.”
