ABL Group companies in Egypt and PetroSafe, Egypt’s petroleum safety and environmental services company, have signed a memorandum of understanding to collaborate on technical opportunities to advance performance in Egyptian energy assets, offshore and onshore.
The agreement promotes cooperation on technical services to support through-life safety and performance in Egyptian energy facilities and subsea infrastructure.
The memorandum aims to allow PetroSafe the support of ABL Group’s Egypt-based businesses, including energy and marine consultancy ABL and design and engineering consultancy Longitude.
“Together with Longitude, and now with PetroSafe, we provide the Egyptian energy market with a unique technical offering,” said Abdulhameed Yehya, ABL’s engineering projects lead in Egypt. “Our combined capability means we support clients with a holistic approach, integrating niche expertise in engineering, safety, and HSEQ [health, safety, environment, and quality] and marine assurance to help stakeholders in driving safety and performance across the operational life of an asset.”
Under the terms of the memorandum, ABL will work with PetroSafe to provide marine assurance on a call-off basis, including vessel suitability surveys, inspections and audits, prepurchase and condition surveys, dynamic positioning trials, and consulting and critical systems consultancy.
Additionally, ABL, together with Longitude, will support PetroSafe in providing consultancy services for ports and harbors including decarbonization.
This latest memorandum is an extension of one previously signed with PetroSafe for collaboration on asset and data management.
