Subsea Global Solutions is pleased to announce the successful closing of its partnership with GenNx360 Capital Partners (GenNx360), a New York-based private equity firm which invests in middle market business services and industrial companies, effective March 29, 2018. Subsea Global Solutions (SGS) is the leading provider of underwater vessel maintenance, inspection and repair services to shipowners, managers and operators within diversified marine transportation and construction sectors.
