Gibdock, the Gibraltar-based ship repair and conversion yard, has recently completed a series of high-profile offshore support vessel (OSV) projects, further consolidating its reputation as a trusted partner to the global offshore industry.
In a sector where reliability, efficiency, and safety are critical, Gibdock has consistently demonstrated its ability to deliver projects on time, within budget, and to the highest quality standards. This track record has enabled the company to strengthen long-term relationships with several major offshore players and expand its presence in a significant and growing market.
As part of an ongoing relationship with Boskalis, Gibdock has completed works on the trailing hopper suction dredger Gateway, the construction support vessel BOKA Southern Ocean, and the multipurpose construction vessel BOKA Fulmar in recent months. Other significant OSV projects this year include the repair of Subsea 7’s construction/flex-lay vessel Seven Pacific and the repair and renewal of Technip’s specialised rigid pipelay vessel Deep Blue.
With Solstad’s anchor-handling tug supply vessel Normand Pacific currently in the yard for renewal, and many more projects in the pipeline for the year ahead, Gibdock’s outlook in the offshore support segment is strong.
“Offshore majors trust Gibdock because of our track record in delivering safe, high-quality, and on-time services at good value,” commented John Barnard, Commercial Director, Gibdock. “We work closely with these companies to provide bespoke projects and conversions within a timeline that suits them. Due to the strong and growing demand for our OSV services, we encourage proactive engagement: interested parties should approach us early, even when projects are planned for two or three years out, so we can ensure availability and provide tailored input.
