Abu Dhabi: Gulf Marine Services (GMS), the Abu Dhabi based builder and operator of self-elevated and self-propelling jack-up barges for use in the oil industry, launched its latest vessel, the GMS Scirocco ahead of a four-month contract starting in October for an engineering, procurement and construction contractor working for a MENA-based national oil company.
The GMS Scirocco is the second in a series of newbuild barges that have been designed and built by GMS in Abu Dhabi, the company said in a statement. According to it these barges are able to manoeuvre safely offshore between oil and gas wellheads and provide a stable well intervention and maintenance platform.
