Renaissance Services subsidiary Topaz Energy and Marine, a leading provider of offshore support vessels, has won a contract from shipping group GAC to provide completion services for two vessels.

Topaz’s NicoCraft shipyard in Abu Dhabi was awarded the contract based on the shipyard’s capabilities and its established track record, a statement said.

The construction and engineering work that will be undertaken by the Topaz Marine Engineering Division includes structural work, outfitting and equipment installation.

Upon delivery, the vessels will be approximately 22 m long, will carry 24 passengers and seven crew, as well as up to 15 tonnes of cargo.

Johan Fulke, managing director, marine services of GAC Marine, said NicoCraft had all the specifications his company was looking for in a GCC-based company.

 Thomas Bower, managing director, Topaz Marine Engineering Division, commented that his firm’s first contract win with GAC was further recognition that “our combined expertise in the construction and repair of aluminium and steel vessels are truly world class.”
