Aberdeen-based subsea cutting specialist Cutting Underwater Technologies (CUT) has reported 40% revenue growth in 2025, achieved entirely through organic expansion and internal investment.
The company attributes the increase to continued demand for its patented cutting technologies, including step cutting and chain retention systems, expansion of its global machine fleet, and entry into new geographical markets.
CUT has remained focused exclusively on subsea cutting services, positioning itself as a specialist contractor for complex offshore projects.
According to business development manager Bruce Sinclair, the strategy is delivering long-term value.
He said: “Organic growth strengthens both operational capability and client relationships. Repeat business from established clients, combined with strong feedback from new customers, confirms the effectiveness of this approach.”
General manager Tiziana Marras said that market demand is increasingly favouring specialist contractors, adding: “The projects we undertake require highly specialised expertise and strict safety standards. This is particularly valued in the North Sea, where proven performance and specialist capability are critical to project success.”
During 2025, CUT completed 52 revenue-generating projects and secured 13 new clients, supporting operations across oil and gas decommissioning, pipeline installation, and offshore wind maintenance in six continents.
With origins dating back to the 1980s, CUT remains one of the longest-established providers of subsea cutting technology and operates one of the largest global fleets of bespoke cutting systems.
