Phoenix opens offices in HOuston and norfolk

Tuesday, May 1, 2005 -- Washington, DC -- Phoenix International, Inc. has announced the opening of new offices in Houston, TX and in Norfolk, VA.  The new facilities are in response to the diversification of Phoenix business in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM), and the increasing demand for its underwater ship repair business in the Hampton Roads area.

The Houston office is home to Phoenix’s Subsea Projects Group whose business will be to support GOM deepwater oilfield construction activities.  The office is directed by Mr. Karl Witherow, a manager with 24-years of experience in subsea construction projects, and is staffed by personnel with more than 100 years of collective subsea construction experience in the offshore oil and gas industry.  The Subsea Projects Group will primarily focus on light to medium subsea construction support projects using large DP construction vessels for the expansion of Phoenix’s existing ROV, diving, ADS, Project Management and Engineering services.

The Norfolk operations office opened to better serve the underwater ship husbandry needs of our Navy and commercial clients in the Hampton Roads area.  This office will be under the direction of Mr. Chris Klentzman, P.E. who has over 23-years experience in marine operations and ship repair.  Personnel; including diving superintendents, diver-welders, and tenders; and underwater husbandry equipment has been positioned in Norfolk to provide a mobile, rapid, and cost efficient response to ship repair needs.  This office will also concentrate on expanding our support to the marine construction and marine structure repair markets.
