Client Testimonials

Marc Lamblin, Project Manager - Bourbon Subsea Services

Susanta Gupta, Senior Offshore Construction Manager (Cables, Flexibles and Umbilical) - NMDC Energy

Chris Cowperthwaite, Senior Business Development and Project Manager - Enshore Subsea

Appreciation to Motive for their outstanding support on the recent KSA project. The winches were ideally suited to our requirements, well-maintained, and consistently reliable, with no breakdowns throughout. Motive operators demonstrated excellent equipment knowledge and collaborated seamlessly with our project team. We also appreciate the responsiveness of their project and logistics teams, who efficiently managed equipment and manpower mobilisation on short notice.

Harold Manurung, Senior Installation Engineer - Subsea 7

Motive provided high-quality equipment and experienced operators during the three cable pull-in operations in the UAE. The equipment was delivered on time and ready to go. Jan De Nul is very satisfied with the cooperation demonstrated by Motive Offshore Group during the complete execution of the project.

Bram Vande Walle, Works Manager Offshore Works - Jan De Nul

The Motive team provided Subsea with a robust and pragmatic solution to our tensioner requirements. Flexibility of design and intended applications of the equipment was an important element of the project and there was a very constructive dialogue throughout the development timeframe. Motive met our objectives, delivering a high quality product which met our scope, delivery schedule and budget. We look forward to working with Motive again.

Simon Appleby, Director - Subsea Environmental Services

When evaluating subcontractors for cable storage we sought a solution that gave us flexibility in storage location and responsiveness for supporting our endclient for any potential future cable repairs. Motive’s innovative solution delivers this flexibility, and their localisation strategy aligns closely with CWind Taiwan’s ambition to be the leading, domestic Balance of Plant maintenance contractor in Taiwan.

Tom Manning, General Manager - CWind Taiwan

I am indeed very impressed by Motive’s attitude since the beginning of the project. Former Navy Captain, I know exactly what going beyond the call of duty means and have experienced first-hand this behaviour from Motive and its personnel, from top management to those in action on deck. I have told your good team during a toolbox talk onboard, in presence of the whole shift, that they could be proud of their company, as they joined the ship at noon on a Sunday after I called Motive on Saturday night for an emergency mobilisation.

Marc Lamblin, Project Manager - Bourbon Subsea Services

Effortless, timely, good expertise. Honesty - if not having the initial requested item or service, always willing to find alternatives.

Espen Nordahl, Tender Manager - DeepOcean

A note of thanks to the Motive team in the UAE - under difficult time constraints new equipment was manufactured, assembled and tested to satisfy our project requirements. The team provided excellent updates on progress and collaborated to ensure timely delivery.

Paul Nickson, Project Manager - Technip FMC

Turnaround for emergency situations was really excellent. We thank the Motive Team and Management – Motive was one of the main reasons for the success of the umbilical transpooling scope of works for the DALMA Project.

Susanta Gupta, Senior Offshore Construction Manager (Cables, Flexibles and Umbilical) - NMDC Energy

l wanted to express our thanks to Motive for supporting our spooling operations along Taichung Port. It was noted by many onsite how Kevin went above and beyond, and certainly his guidance and direction proved invaluable; please pass on our thanks!

James Hope, Regional Manager APAC - Sulmara Subsea

We have used the Motive Reel Drive System and Winches over the past year and have had great reliability throughout, greatly enhancing our operations in supporting our cable installation work scope in Bahrain. This, along with the helpful and proactive assistance from all the Motive Technicians, helped Enshore complete the cable lay on schedule.
