AD Ports Group has signed a 25-year agreement with Singapore-based Crystal Offshore to develop a vessel repair facility at Khalifa Port. Under the terms of the agreement a 20,000 m2 plot of land and an associated quay wall will be allocated for Crystal Offshore to construct a base, featuring office facilities and fabrication workshops, to provide repairs and refits to jack-up rigs as well as marine and offshore vessels.
Saif Al Mazrouei, Chief Executive Officer, Ports Cluster – AD Ports Group, said: “Our partnership with one of the world’s leading solution providers in the marine and offshore industry will add significant value to Khalifa Port’s customers and greatly expand the numerous services it offers to cater to the wide base of the marine industry. As we look towards the future, we will continue our drive to further diversify the service offerings in our ports in the UAE and abroad.”
The new shipyard facility situated within Khalifa Port will primarily cater for drilling rigs and marine assets as well as deep water vessels such as FPSOs.
Founded in 2005, Crystal Offshore offers services related to the major maintenance of offshore assets within the oil and gas industry and has a strong track record of successful projects for multiple drilling contractors, both regionally and internationally.
