Abu Dhabi-based Gulf Marine Services (GMS), with a fleet of self‐propelled self‐elevating support vessels (SESVs) to the offshore energy industry, has revealed that it has secured a new contract for an additional vessel in the Middle East.
The company didn’t disclose any financial details or the name of the vessel or the client, but it said that the contract, awarded by a “major regional client,” spans an initial term including extensions of seven months.
This additional vessel, sourced to meet the demands of this project, will support a range of offshore operations.
Mansour Al Alami, GMS executive chairman, said: “This award underscores GMS’s ability to source and provide customised solutions to our clients and demonstrates our flexibility in meeting current as well as future demand.”
Gulf Marine Services PLC, a company listed on the London Stock Exchange, was founded in Abu Dhabi in 1977.
Its fleet serves the offshore energy industries from its offices in the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Kingdom.
According to GMS, the Group’s assets are capable of serving clients’ requirements across the globe, including those in the Middle East, Europe, South East Asia, West Africa, North and South America, and the Gulf of Mexico.
GMS said that the vessels support a broad range of offshore platform refurbishment and maintenance activities, well intervention work, and offshore wind turbine maintenance work (which are opex‐led activities), as well as offshore platform installation and decommissioning and offshore wind turbine installation (which are capex‐led activities).
