Since 1990, Valentine Maritime (VM) has assisted in developing the offshore oil and gas industry.
The offshore construction company takes pride in its reach within the Arabian Gulf and the Indian subcontinent with its health, safety and environmental (HSE) policies.
Today, VM foresees an increase in offshore growth due to its expansionist business policy and aims to see growth within the UAE and Saudi Arabia.
VM’s per project value has increased to over a $100 million (Dh360 million) per project since 2000.
The offshore construction company has recently laid down five pipelines for Kuwait Integrated Petroleum Industries Company for the Al Zour Refinery Project. VM has been praised for its efficiency in the project.
“As subcontractor to the consortium of Hyundai/Saipem/SK Engineering, our project team received special appreciation from KIPIC for the safe, efficient and fast-track completion,” says Najjad Zeenni, President of VM.
VM’s ability to stay efficient does not solely rely on its HSE policies. It also approaches sustainability with diversification.
“We have diversified into offshore oil construction to cover all segments such as fabrication, pipelay, cable laying, platforms installation and EPC contracts,” says Zeenni.
In 2017, VM won the Kuwait Al Zour Refinery Project in which laying of 100km of pipelines was completed within five months of project award.
“In the Saudi Manifa Project, VM proved its expertise working in the shallow water where pipeline and cable systems were laid in water depths of less than 10m,” says Zeenni.
Currently, the company is delving into the latest technology with Inconel pipelines and is working with long-term agreement contractors to install and lay down pipelines and deck for Saudi Aramco.
