Second Damen FCS 3307 Patrol Vessel delivered
31st October 2015
Homeland Integrated Offshore Services Limited (HIOSL) will take delivery of its second Damen Fast Crew Supplier 3307 Patrol just 18 months after a sister vessel entered service in the Nigerian offshore market.
Established in 2006, HIOSL serves the Nigerian oil and gas industry with a wide range of maritime, security and logistics services.
The Lagos-headquartered company has ambitious plans to become the leading marine logistics provider in the Nigerian offshore industry.
Undergoing sea trials in Singapore during October 2015, Guardian 2 is expected to be directly employed when she arrives in Port Harcourt, Nigeria, in December. HIOSL will then have five patrol vessels in its fleet.
HIOSL Managing Director Louis Ekere, stresses: “We have had very positive experiences with our first Damen FCS 3307 Patrol – Guardian 1. She has been engaged since day one, working on behalf of the International Oil Companies.”
Guardian 1 has largely been carrying out security patrol services for the IOCs, working alongside the Nigerian Navy, as well as transferring crew and supplies.
