Two Further New Contract Awards
Gulf Marine Services (GMS), a market-leading provider of self-propelled and
self-elevating support vessels for the offshore oil, gas, and renewables
sectors, is pleased to announce the successful award of two contract
extensions in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region.
The award of these contract extensions reflects continued highly favourable
market conditions and the quality of the Company's fleet, reaffirming GMS's
leading position in the industry and the strong demand for its vessel
services.
Along with the 3 other contracts won in the first half of this year, these two
contract extensions again support a higher level of utilisation and day rates.
The first contract award involves the extension of a large class vessel until
the end of November 2023 and the second for a small class vessel until the end
of March 2024.
Commenting, Mansour Al Alami, GMS Executive Chairman, said:
"These awards reflect continued market strength and the quality of GMS's
client offering and give us reason for further optimism for the remainder of
2023. GMS remains committed to delivering an exceptional service and
maintaining its position as a preferred provider of offshore vessel
solutions."
"We have a strong track record in delivering safe, efficient, and reliable
vessel services that materially contribute to the success of our client's
projects. This has earned us a level of trust and confidence in our
capabilities that often make us the supplier of choice. Nonetheless, that is
not something we take for granted and continually seek to improve the services
we offer and would like to thank our dedicated customers for their continued
support."

services, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Notes to Editors:
Gulf Marine Services PLC, a company listed on the London Stock Exchange, was
founded in Abu Dhabi in 1977 and has become a world leading provider of
advanced self-propelled self-elevating support vessels (SESVs). The fleet
serves the oil, gas and renewable energy industries from its offices in the
United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Qatar. The Group's assets are capable
of serving clients' requirements across the globe, including those in the
Middle East, South East Asia, West Africa, North America, the Gulf of Mexico
and Europe.
The GMS fleet of 13 SESVs is amongst the youngest in the industry, with an
average age of eight years. The vessels support GMS's clients in a broad range
of offshore oil and gas platform refurbishment and maintenance activities,
well intervention work and offshore wind turbine maintenance work (which are
opex-led activities), as well as offshore oil and gas platform installation
and decommissioning and offshore wind turbine installation (which are
capex-led activities).
The SESVs are categorised by size - K-Class (Small), S-Class (Mid) and E-Class
(Large) - with these capable of operating in water depths of 45m to 80m
depending on leg length. The vessels are four-legged and are self-propelled,
which means they do not require tugs or similar support vessels for moves
between locations in the field; this makes them significantly more
cost-effective and time-efficient than conventional offshore support vessels
without self-propulsion. They have a large deck space, crane capacity and
accommodation facilities (for up to 300 people) that can be adapted to the
requirements of the Group's clients.
