The self-propelled, self-elevating support vessels (SESV) provider said the contracts include a 170-day charter for a newly acquired vessel at “attractive” rates, alongside a one-year third-party vessel management deal.
The awards take Gulf Marine’s backlog to $666m, though full-year earnings guidance was left unchanged.
The vessel management contract is particularly notable as it introduces a new, “asset-light” revenue stream through managing vessels owned by third parties, broadening the group’s business model beyond its core fleet operations.
Executive chairman Mansour Al Alami said: “These two contract awards mark an important step forward in our growth and diversification strategy."
