The Global Marine Group (GMG) launched a new business unit, Global Offshore. The new unit will deliver trenching and power cable laying services to the oil & gas sector. Global Offshore will focus the staff, vessels and subsea equipment needed to meet the demands of industry around the world, for projects that include pipeline, cable and umbilical installation and trenching, platform-to-platform connectivity and complete platform to subsea installation services.
Operating from a base located in Aberdeen, Scotland, the Global Offshore team will be led by MD Mike Daniel.
Global Offshore’s assets include the M/V Symphony, a multi-purpose vessel with an extensive deck space, two powerful and flexible Q1400 jet trenchers and two work class remotely operated vehicles. In addition, depending on the needs of specific projects, Global Offshore will have access to GMG’s full capabilities and diverse fleet, including four specialist cable installation and repair vessels, four maintenance vessels and 16 Crew Transport Vessels.
“Offshore oil & gas customers, who often operate under demanding conditions, have always been important to the Global Marine Group,” said Ian Douglas, Chief Executive Officer of Global Marine Group. “Adding industry leading and highly sought-after specialist trenching capabilities to our offering should create significant opportunities for our customers and for the entire Global Marine Group for years to come.”
