Presence in Perth: Atlas Opens New Office on the West Coast of Australia

26 November 2015

Australia has a long history of oil and gas production and the ongoing development of its substantial reserves is strengthening the country’s position as a leading global player in this market sector. Opening this office has its advantages such as access to world-leading research and development in oil and gas technologies, significant oil and gas reserves and is within close proximity to the rapidly growing Asian energy markets.

In August, Atlas announced its goal to grow its presence in Australia for both local and international maritime personnel and clients.

Now, this goal has been realised as Atlas opens its doors in Perth on the West Coast of Australia.
