ABL’s Egyptian operation, part of Oslo-listed global consultancy ABL Group, has sealed a new deal with Tidewater Marine Egypt, a subsidiary of Tidewater, to provide certain services to the fleet owner and operator’s offshore support vessels (OSVs) working in the Egyptian part of the Mediterranean Sea, the Black Sea, and wider Europe.
ABL has signed a one-year master service agreement (MSA) to provide marine assurance and DP consultancy services, supporting safety, performance, and asset integrity of Tidewater’s OSVs fleet.
Tamer Gamil, ABL’s Country Manager in Egypt, commented: “This MSA is a reflection of our reputation as marine assurance partners and DP consultants, both in-country in Egypt and across wider Europe.
“Our unique value is in our ability to provide a globally recognised standard to support vessel operability and maintenance, via local expertise with marine surveyors and consultants across over 15 countries in Europe and North Africa.”
As the MSA covers OSVs that are operational in the Egyptian part of the Mediterranean Sea, the Black Sea, and wider Europe, ABL’s team in Egypt can be called upon to support the vessel owner with a wider range of marine assurance services, covering industry standard audits such as OVIDs, CMID and eCMID.
In addition, this may entail vessel suitability inspections, pre-purchase and condition surveys, DP consulting and assurance, including critical systems consulting with FMEA and FMECA.
Mostafa Kamel Awad, Operations Manager at Tidewater, underlined: “We are pleased to enter into this Master Service Agreement with ABL, whose strong reputation in marine assurance and DP consultancy aligns well with Tidewater’s continued focus on safety, and operational excellence.
“ABL’s local presence in Egypt, supported by their extensive regional and global expertise, provides us with a trusted partner to support our operations across the Mediterranean, the Black Sea, and the wider European region.”
This assignment comes after ABL won a deal at an offshore oil project in Guyana’s Stabroek block.
