Bermuda-based Paratus Energy Services has obtained the necessary regulatory approvals for the divestment of drilling operations and a jack-up fleet previously owned by Fontis Finance, an indirect subsidiary. The acquiring entities are Proyectos Globales de Energía y Servicios CME (CME) and BC Ventures. BC Ventures is a 50/50 joint venture formed between subsidiaries of Borr Drilling, also based in Bermuda, and CME, positioning it as Borr's dedicated long-term partner for well construction activities within Mexico.
This transaction signifies a strategic move for Borr Drilling, expanding its operational footprint and asset base in the Mexican market. For freight forwarders and logistics professionals, this development indicates potential for increased project cargo movements related to offshore drilling equipment, spare parts, and support services in and around Mexican ports serving the energy sector. The acquisition of additional rigs suggests a commitment to long-term drilling projects, which could lead to consistent demand for specialized logistics, including heavy-lift and oversized cargo transport, as well as general supply chain support for offshore operations.
