J&S Subsea Limited has strengthened its international growth strategy through a new partnership with Westpaq International, supporting expansion across key markets in Sub-Saharan Africa.
The agreement establishes Westpaq as J&S Subsea Limited’s in-country partner in Nigeria, Equatorial Guinea and Cameroon, providing local representation, business development support and access to regional opportunities. The partnership builds on J&S Subsea Limited’s existing presence in West Africa, including Côte D’Ivoire and Equatorial Guinea, alongside a track record of successfully delivered subsea projects across the region.
The partnership follows recent engagement in the region, including attendance at SAIPEC, where J&S Subsea Limited and Westpaq International met with operators and industry stakeholders to discuss subsea project requirements.
Supporting subsea projects across established and emerging markets
Through this collaboration, J&S Subsea Limited will deliver a full range of subsea control and engineering services to operators and contractors working in the region.
Capabilities include bespoke subsea product design, subsea control systems engineering, obsolescence management, electrical and hydraulic pressure testing, and offshore support services. These services support both late life asset management and new developments, helping operators maintain reliability while adapting to evolving project requirements.
By combining engineering expertise with local market knowledge, the partnership aims to provide practical, cost-effective solutions aligned with the needs of offshore energy projects in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Enabling sustainable solutions through Legacy Locker™
J&S Subsea Limited’s Legacy Locker™ solution is expected to play an important role in supporting operators across the region.
Legacy Locker™ enables the reuse and refurbishment of subsea equipment that would otherwise be scrapped, providing re-certified, ready-to-deploy components. This approach helps clients unlock value from existing assets, reduce lead times and minimise waste, supporting both operational efficiency and sustainability objectives.
As operators increasingly focus on extending asset life and improving environmental performance, solutions that support reuse and repurposing are becoming an important part of subsea project delivery.
A strategic platform for regional growth
Commenting on the partnership, Alan Smith, Technical Sales Manager at J&S Subsea Limited, said:
“By combining our engineering capability with Westpaq’s strong regional presence, we are creating a platform to deliver solutions that are aligned with the needs of operators across Sub-Saharan Africa.”
Evans Daso, Director of Engineering & Projects at Westpaq International LLC, added:
“This partnership strengthens our ability to deliver integrated subsea solutions across the region. By combining local expertise with J&S Subsea Limited’s engineering capability, we are well positioned to support both project delivery and long-term asset performance.”
Strengthening international capability
The partnership reflects J&S Subsea Limited’s continued focus on expanding its global footprint while maintaining a practical, engineering-led approach to subsea control systems and equipment support.
By developing strong regional partnerships and combining them with in-house engineering capability, J&S Subsea Limited is well positioned to support both existing offshore infrastructure and future developments across the global energy market.
