GMS lands five-year contract for maintenance services

Gulf Marine Services (GMS) has been awarded a five-year contract – firm period, plus options to extend – for maintenance services as an enhanced extension to an existing vessel contract. 

Mobilization for the contract, with a Middle East National Oil Company, will be undertaken by a new Maintenance Services Division, GMS said on Tuesday.

During 2019, as GMS reviewed its operations in pursuit of greater efficiency and profitability, the team identified a market opportunity to expand its service offering to customers, and has created the Maintenance Services Division.

According to GMS, Maintenance Services provides an integrated offer, allowing the client to focus on core activities. For the new contract, the GMS team will include onshore personnel to manage planning and logistics, together with traditional fabrication and support services based offshore on the GMS vessel.

Work to be performed will include scope definition and scheduling, detailed work preparation and execution including the management of the material supply chain, as well as mechanical fabrication.
