About Us
We are a consulting, financial investment and engineering design firm focused on energy solutions for emerging markets.
We help successful companies who are leaders in their industry in the emerging markets access development finance and project funding. We also offer engineering solutions to overseas clients both in private and government agencies. We are primarily focused in the energy sector.
Based in Houston, Texas we work with the United States Export and Import Bank (US EXIM Bank) and private investors to facilitate funding for large scale energy projects in emerging markets.
Troika Offshore Design started as an engineering consulting firm, and we designed and built more than 50 oil rigs and equipment. We engineer, design, and build only the highest quality products. Troika Offshore Design offers a large array of engineering services to the oil and gas drilling industry.
We then recognized the need to secure financing for overseas projects while exporting LNG & LPG to East Africa. We work with partners who have expertise in investment and government finance to fund any large-scale energy project. We are currently working on a 100MW solar power plant project with our partners that will generate clean, reliable, and affordable electricity.
Troika Offshore Design established in 2010, in Houston Texas as an engineering design company serving the oil and gas industry. Since then we have grown into an energy consulting and export company. We have a great history collaborating with Interlink capital and American construction companies. Troika Offshore is owned by Bethany Nyandusi Ratemo.
