Adnoc L&S acquires six-line boats

Adnoc Logistics & Services, the shipping and maritime logistics arm of the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (Adnoc), on Tuesday announced the acquisition of six-line boats to provide critical marine services across petroleum ports in Abu Dhabi. All six vessels are the Damen Stan Tug 1606 type and were contracted directly from Sharjah-based Albwardy Damen, as part of Adnoc Group’s commitment to boost In-Country Value across its operations, a press release said. The steel-hulled, twin-screw vessels are powered by two Caterpillar engines providing nearly 16 tonnes of bollard pull. With their proven design, these line boats enable Adnoc L&S to continue providing reliable and efficient operations to the Petroleum Ports Authority in Abu Dhabi. Captain Abdulkareem Al Masabi, CEO of Adnoc L&S, said, “We are committed to boosting our operations by contributing to the development of high-end shipbuilding and repair capabilities within the UAE. The country is emerging as a global hub for maritime and shipping operations, and we continue to enhance the environment for shipping.”

“The acquisition of these state-of-the-art line boats from Albwardy Damen is aligned with our strategy of growing the Adnoc L&S fleet with highly specialised marine services, including comprehensive port operations for customers in the UAE
