"As we deliver the latest addition to the fleet, the GMS Endeavour, 2011 will see GMS operate our new E class rigs in Saudi and the UK Southern North Sea. Meanwhile our K class tonnage will also enter the Saudi market as well as continue to operate in our more traditional waters of the UAE and Qatar. GMS has become a truly international operator and now has offices in Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Kingdom. In addition to geographical diversification, we have also expanded into a completely new offshore market, offshore renewables, our knowledge from 33 years in the offshore industry being put to good use in this expanding business stream.

Gulf Marine Services has an operating fleet of eight self elevating, self propelled jack ups with accommodation for 150 on each one of our vessels. The latest additions have full DPS 2 and can travel at a speed of 8 knots, allowing for quick and safe movement between installations without the use of expensive tugs. As barge builders as well as operators we have an in depth knowledge of the assets we operate and extensive heavy lift experience going back many years. This has combined to position ourselves as a prime choice for installing offshore wind turbines in a harsh weather environment.”
