(MENAFN - Arab News) The Eastern Province-based Mohammad Al-Mojil Group (MMG) announced yesterday that in a follow up to its announcement in December 2011, the delivery of its three state-of-the-art vessels for its fleet in the Marine Services Division has been completed.
Out of the three vessels, two are from future generation with a length of 54 meters. The third one is a crew vessel, which has developed and operational capabilities and a capacity that could hold up to 70 passengers. All the three vessels after procuring the required permissions have become operational to serve Saudi Aramco to provide marine support services to its floating oil and gas platforms as per the five-year contract MMG has signed with Saudi Aramco in December 2011.
According to MMG President and CEO Ebrahim Zadeh, the addition of these three vessels in the fleet is a major step forward in executing MMG plans to improvise and enhance its marine operations by upgrading its fleet in order to meet the expected increase in demand in the shipping and marine sector. He hoped that upgrading of its fleet will strengthen the confidence of MMG's clients, particularly Saudi Aramco. Zadeh reiterated MMG's commitment to continuously improve its marine services in order to exceed the demands of the clients with better quality and high safety standards.
MMG's Marine Services Division is a key component of the group and has created a niche for itself in the shipping industry. It was the first Saudi company to offer a fully serviced fleet of vessels with dedicated equipment and skilled manpower to service Saudi Aramco's offshore projects. Today MMG is serving a large number of clients. Prominent among them are Saudi Aramco, Qatar Petroleum, Saipem, Barwill, National Petroleum Construction Company, J. Ray McDermott, Global Rushaid, Mcdowell Schlumberger.
Marine Division operates in the area of pre-commissioning and commissioning for offshore platform and all marine related tasks. It has been providing maintenance, hook-up and commissioning and drilling support for oil rigs since 1960.
