New Contract Award for a Large Class Vessel in Europe
Gulf Marine Services (LSE: GMS), the leading provider of
advanced self-propelled self-elevating support vessels serving the
offshore oil, gas and renewable energy sectors, is pleased to
announce it has been awarded a new contract to support a wind farm
project in Europe for an international energy company.
The new contract is for a Large Class SESV with a charter period
of eight months (including options). The vessel will proceed
directly onto the new charter towards the end of Q3 2018 following
the completion of its current long-term contract in the oil and gas
sector in the region.
Duncan Anderson, Chief Executive Officer of GMS, said:
"We have a successful track record in the renewables energy
sector in Europe. Currently two of our Large Class vessels are
supporting wind farm projects in the region and we are delighted to
have gained a new client in the sector with this latest contract
win. We look forward to deploying a third Large Class SESV onto the
new charter, with our ability to transfer from oil and gas
operations to wind farm development testament to our vessel
flexibility and operational experience in both sectors."

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 the
world's 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 the United Kingdom. The Group's assets
are capable of serving clients' requirements across the globe,
including those in the Middle East, South East Asia, West Africa
and Europe.
The GMS core fleet of 13 SESVs is amongst the youngest in the
industry, with an average age of seven years. The vessels support
GMS' 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 - Large, Mid-Size and Small
Class - with these operating in water depths of 80m, 55m and 45m
respectively. 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. In addition, an innovative well workover cantilever system
commissioned on a Large Class SESV in 2017 allows GMS to increase
the well intervention activities carried out from the vessel and to
supplant higher cost non-propelled drilling rigs.
