Energy and marine consultancy ABL have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Egyptian offshore construction and services company Petroleum Marine Services (PMS) to collaborate on rig moving services and marine assurance and risk.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The MoU spells out that ABL\u2019s local operations in Egypt, can be called upon to provide rig moving and operations technical support, as well as its wide range of marine assurance and risk services, including rig inspections, DP assurance and critical systems consulting.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is great to have the opportunity to cement our relationship with PMS on rig moving and assurance. We have a long track-record in supporting safe and optimised rig operations across the Middle East and North and South Africa. Our and PMS\u2019s strong presence in Egypt means that we can provide a really strong end-to-end offering to support Egyptian rig operations.\u201d Stephen Craig, ABL\u2019s Global Director for Rig Operations.<\/p>\n

This move follows December\u2019s announcement from PMS and ABL that the two companies were introducing a unified rig moving service in the Red Sea and Gulf of Suez, with the support of EGPC.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are delighted to formalize the next chapter of our partnership with ABL through this MoU. Building on a foundation of success \u2013 from our initial engineering services to the implementation of unified rig-moving solutions \u2013 this MoU reinforces our shared mission to elevate operational efficiency and safety standards within Egypt\u2019s energy sector. It also reflects PMS\u2019s commitment to deploying world-class expertise that drives the growth, sustainability, and long-term value of Egyptian offshore operations.\u201d Engineer Walid Hegazy, Chairman & CEO of PMS.<\/p>\n
