Nikkiso Clean Energy & Industrial Gases Group (Nikkiso CE&IG) today announced that it has entered into a strategic service partnership with Exion Asia Pte Ltd., a Southeast Asia-based flow control and rotating equipment service provider with an established regional workshop and field service network, to strengthen support for the marine market in Southeast Asia.
As the marine market accelerates its transition toward lower-carbon fuels, demand for specialized aftermarket services for cryogenic equipment on marine fleets is growing. As a result, Nikkiso CE&IG is executing a global strategy built around five fully integrated Marine Hubs, addressing fleet owners’ needs through local inventory management, specialized marine field service teams, and regional workshop infrastructure.
Exion Asia, part of the SWTS Asia Group, operates 17 workshops across Southeast Asia, including three major facilities in Singapore, one of the world’s largest marine hubs. Through this partnership, Singapore now becomes Nikkiso CE&IG’s Southeast Asia Marine Hub, meaning coordinated regional support for the safe, efficient, and reliable operation of cryogenic pumps and equipment. Additional Exion Asia facilities in Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, the Philippines and Indonesia provide comprehensive regional coverage.
The partnership strengthens the capabilities of Nikkiso CE&IG’s Cryogenic Services Business Unit to deliver dry-docking maintenance, exchange programs, upgrades and engineering services, emergency response, and other proprietary service solutions in the region. It also advances Nikkiso CE&IG’s strategic objective of operating five global Marine Hubs across Southeast Asia, Europe, the Middle East, the US, and China.
Sean Fanniff, President of Nikkiso CE&IG’s Cryogenic Services Business Unit, said: “Singapore is a major global hub for the marine industry, and partnering with Exion Asia strengthens our presence in Southeast Asia.”
“We are proud to partner with Nikkiso CE&IG Group to support the growing demand for cryogenic equipment services in the marine sector,” said Eugene Yap, Group Deputy Managing Director of Exion Asia.
“By combining Nikkiso’s cryogenic technology expertise with Exion Asia’s regional service infrastructure and field support capabilities, we can provide faster, reliable support to fleet operators across Southeast Asia.”
This agreement reinforces Nikkiso CE&IG’s commitment to delivering specialized aftermarket services for LNG carriers, FSRUs, and lower-carbon-fueled vessels worldwide.
