Gulf Marine Services (GMS), a provider of self-propelled self-elevating support vessels (SESVs) serving the offshore oil industry, has won a new contract and a contract extension for two of its vessels.

The new contract is for one of GMS’ mid-size class vessels. It is scheduled to start immediately, is for 12 months including options, with the vessel supporting a national oil company (NOC) based in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.

In addition, a contract extension has been confirmed for one of the company’s small class vessels chartered to a different MENA-based NOC. The extended period, which has already started, is for 12 months, with a further one-year option period remaining.

We are very pleased that our strong client relationships, leading operational expertise and flexibility have enabled us to secure a new contract and a contract extension for two of our vessels.”
