RAVENNA, Italy — Tiger Offshore Rentals (“Tiger”), a leading global provider of transportation and storage equipment to the offshore oil and gas industry, has acquired Comea Impianti Industriali’s (“Comea”) entire fleet of DNV certified offshore cargo carrying units (CCUs) in Italy. The acquisition expands Tiger’s position as the leading provider of offshore rentals in the Mediterranean, North Africa, and Southern European regions.

This new fleet puts Tiger in the driver’s seat when it comes to providing DNV certified CCU’s, tanks and skips to the development of Mediterranean offshore plays.”
In conjunction with the acquisition, Tiger and Comea entered into a partnership agreement with that allows Comea to rerent Tiger’s full line of DNV certified CCUs, offshore baskets, containers, skips, cuttings boxes, tanks and carriers to its customers.
