Partnership to build advanced offshore vessels
Bahri Logistics has signed a newbuild agreement with Grandweld Shipyard, for the construction of two advanced offshore service vessels with the aim further strengthening Bahri’s offshore capabilities and supporting Saudi Arabia’s growing energy logistics corridor.
The two vessels will be custom-built to meet the operational requirements of offshore activities at Ras Tanura Port, one of the world’s busiest energy hubs. They will play a vital role in enhancing Bahri Logistics’ offshore operations, ensuring uninterrupted service delivery, and providing greater flexibility and responsiveness to key clients in the energy and industrial sectors.
Designed for high-performance operations in demanding offshore environments, each vessel will be equipped with the latest navigation, communication, and safety technologies, ensuring maximum efficiency and reliability.
Multiple functions
The boats will be capable of performing multiple offshore support functions including handling vessel clearance procedures with relevant authorities in accordance with applicable maritime regulations, managing crew changes, emergency response, maintenance assistance and technical support for vessels and offshore facilities, and inspection support while maintaining compliance with the highest international maritime and environmental standards.
“We are investing in next-generation vessels that embody innovation, safety, and efficiency qualities that define Bahri’s approach to serving our clients and supporting Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 objectives,” stated Eng. Soror Basalom, President, Bahri Integrated Logistics.
Delivery is expected in August 2026, following a 12-month build timeline. Both vessels will be built at Grandweld Shipyard’s advanced facility in Dubai Maritime City.
