2025 – Tiger Enters the Turkey Market

Tiger entered the Turkey market in 2025 to provide cargo carrying units (CCU) to the region. Turkey has significantly expanded its offshore oil and gas exploration in recent years, particularly in the Black Sea and Eastern Mediterranean. The country has invested in its own fleet of drilling and seismic vessels, including ships such as the Fatih, Yavuz, and Kanuni, allowing it to conduct exploration independently. A major breakthrough came with the discovery of the Sakarya Gas Field in 2020, which is considered the largest natural gas discovery in Turkey’s history. Development of this field is expected to significantly reduce Turkey’s reliance on imported energy. These efforts are part of a broader national strategy to strengthen energy security and increase domestic production.

2017 – Tiger Expands Footprint to Israel

Tiger recently secured a cargo carrying equipment contract for a large player in the Israel market. Israel’s offshore oil and gas industry is a cornerstone of its energy independence and economic strategy, with major natural gas fields like Leviathan, Tamar, Karish and Tanin generating and estimated 70% of the nation’s electricity.  Due to the success of this project, Tiger’s Mediterranean operations moved to a new 8,000m2 facility that is strategically positioned next to the Port of Limassol, Cyprus. In addition to supporting offshore drilling in Cyprus, this base allows us to rapidly service our customers in Israel, Egypt, and the greater Mediterranean region. Our new location is equipped with all of the infrastructure needed to clean, inspect, and repair our extensive rental fleet in the region safely and efficiently which is headed up by Karl Graffte, Intl. Operations Manager.

2016 – Tiger Offshore Moves into Egypt

In 2016, Tiger entered the Egypt oil and gas market in partnership with a local agent to provide rental equipment and waste management services for the Zohr gas field and surrounding region. Zohr was discovered in 2015 in Egypt’s Mediterranean Shorouk Block. It is the largest natural gas find in the Mediterranean Sea, holding approximately 30 trillion cubic feet (tcf) of gas. Discovered in 2015 by Italian company Eni, with production starting in 2017, this super-giant, deep-water field (1,500m depth) rapidly transformed Egypt’s energy sector by eliminating the need for imports and enabling LNG exports.
