Bahri Logistics, part of Saudi Arabia’s Bahri, has signed a newbuild agreement with Grandweld Shipyard for the construction of two advanced offshore service vessels.

The Saudi Arabian shipowner said the deal will further strengthen its offshore capabilities and support Saudi Arabia’s growing energy logistics corridor.

A statement issued by Bahri said the two vessels “will be custom-built to meet the operational requirements of offshore activities at Ras Tanura Port.”

The boats will be capable of performing multiple offshore support functions including handling vessel clearance procedures with relevant authorities in accordance with applicable maritime regulations, managing crew changes, emergency response, maintenance assistance and technical support for vessels and offshore facilities, and inspection support while maintaining compliance with the highest international maritime and environmental standards, it stated.

The delivery is expected in August 2026, following a 12-month build timeline.

Both vessels will be built at Grandweld Shipyard’s advanced facility in Dubai Maritime City.

Bahri Integrated Logistics president Soror Basalom said, “This agreement reflects Bahri Logistics’ unwavering commitment to expanding our offshore capabilities and advancing the Kingdom’s logistics infrastructure.

“By partnering with Grandweld Shipyard, we are investing in next-generation vessels that embody innovation, safety, and efficiency qualities that define Bahri’s approach to serving our clients and supporting Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 objectives.”
