据离岸工程网站10月24日消息 海湾海事服务公司（GMS）是一家自动推进自升式支援船的供应商，该公司表示已获得一份为期6.5个月的K级（小型）自升式支援船（SESV）合同。

没有披露交易的财务细节。客户是一家国际总承包商，GMS将代表一家中东国家石油公司为其海上业务提供支持。

这项工作将在阿拉伯联合酋长国水域进行，因为该船已经为该项目动员。

GMS的K级船队的利用率目前为83%。SSEV是四足自行式船只，能够在45-80米（147-262英尺）的水深中工作，具体取决于支柱长度。

执行主席Tim Summers补充道：“我们对海湾核心市场不断出现的新投标感到鼓舞，这将使海湾海事服务公司能够专注于建造，以充分利用我们船队中的各类船舶。”

GMS船队由13艘SESVs组成，是业内最年轻的船队之一，平均船龄为8年 。

GMS Secures UAE Contract

Gulf Marine Services (GMS), a provider of self-propelled self-elevating support vessels, said it had been awarded a 6.5-month contract for a K-Class (Small) self-elevating support vessel (SESV).

No financial details of the deal were disclosed. The customer is an international EPC contractor, for whom GMS would provide support for offshore activities on behalf of a Middle East national oil company.

The work will be undertaken in United Arab Emirates waters, where the vessel has already been mobilized for the project.

Utilization of GMS’ K-Class fleet now stands at 83%, the company said. SSEVs are four-legged, self-propelled vessels capable of operating in water depths of 45-80 m (147-262 ft) depending on leg length.

"We are encouraged by the steady emergence of new tenders in our core Gulf market, which will allow Gulf Marine Services to focus on building towards full utilisation of all classes of vessel in our fleet," added Executive Chair Tim Summers.

The GMS fleet of 13 SESVs is amongst the youngest in the industry, with an average age of eight years.
