V.Group nets crew management deal for 93 offshore support vessels

V.Group has signed a contract with ADNOC Logistics & Services (ADNOC L&S), located in Abu Dhabi, UAE, to provide crew management services to 93 offshore support vessels. 

To support the contract, and to enable further expansion in the region, V.Group has opened a new Abu Dhabi office, which began operations in early August, V.Group said on Monday.

The office and service function was delivered within a 90-day period, as part of a formal agreement between the two parties.

Senior management from both companies attended an official signing ceremony at the ADNOC L&S headquarters last month, including Captain Abdulkareem Al Masabi, CEO of ADNOC L&S, and Allan Falkenberg, Managing Director of Crew Management at V.Group.

Allan Falkenberg said: “We committed to ADNOC L&S that we would set up a team and be ready to provide crew management services for its fleet within 90 days, and I am proud to say we delivered.”

Following a stabilization period, which is scheduled to run until the end of 2019, the V.Group office will start regular operations by providing crew management services to ADNOC L&S.

V.Group added it then plans to expand its services in the region across all of its ship management and marine support services.
