ABIS Holdings Energy Services Ltd. has signed an agency agreement to support the development and operation of an offshore supply base on the Spanish island of Gran Canaria. The port will aid in the development of offshore West Africa.
ABIS will act as the agent for Gran Canaria Subsea and Offshore Base (GCSB), an organization that operates in the Port of Arinaga, in attracting and negotiating with clients looking to use the strategic maritime port.
An ideal location for operators requiring port facilities ahead of work in West Africa and across the mid-Atlantic Ocean, the location is inside the Canary Special Zone (ZEC), is tariff free and incorporates corporate tax levels of just 4%. The site includes 20 acres of laydown and storage facilities.The base offers a suite of services to support the marine industry with repairs, refurbishments and general maintenance while also being in the center of Atlantic activity making it opportune for project mobilization.
Francis Kiernan, chief executive officer of ABIS Energy, said: “The base provides all the benefits of political stability within the EU and is easily accessible for businesses serving all areas of West Africa, from Luanda to Morocco. Full laydown and storage facilities are accompanied by full technical and project support services with a high quality trained and certified local workforce.”
GCSB services include facility support services, port and harbor facilities, ships agent services and access to full technical and project support services.
Odd Arne Tveit, chairman of GCSB says “Our vision is to create the preferred offshore and subsea hub located centrally in mid-Atlantic with strategic connections to Europe, Gulf of Mexico, West Africa and South America.”
