The shipping division Bahri Logistics has formalized a construction contract with Grandweld Shipyard for the manufacturing of two state-of-the-art offshore support units. This strategic initiative aims to consolidate the transportation infrastructure in the region and optimize the flow of supplies in the Persian Gulf. Operations will primarily focus on Ras Tanura port, globally recognized as one of the most active energy distribution hubs.
Operational Expansion and Capabilities of Offshore Vessels in the Persian Gulf
Regarding technical specifications, the vessels will feature modern navigation tools, advanced communication systems, and strict maritime safety protocols. Additionally, their modular design will grant them the ability to perform multiple critical activities in complex marine environments. Their main functions include crew transfer, technical assistance, support for mechanical inspections, and timely response to emergency situations offshore.
Technical personnel will oversee the relevant authorization procedures with the corresponding regulatory entities. The construction of the vessels will take place at Grandweld Shipyard facilities located in Dubai Maritime City. The estimated timeframe for the completion of the works is twelve months, setting the final delivery date for August 2026.
Furthermore, this investment directly responds to the corporate fleet modernization plan undertaken by the Saudi group. The integration of efficient technologies will reduce the environmental impact of daily journeys, a factor directly linked to state sustainability goals. Likewise, the project directly supports the guidelines of the Saudi Green Initiative for the reduction of polluting emissions.
Finally, the operational optimization driven by this commercial agreement represents a fundamental pillar for the economic diversification plans contemplated in Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030. The company reaffirms its commitment to providing intelligent, secure, and sustainable logistics solutions for its most demanding global clients.
