Integrated subsea infrastructure services provider N-Sea Offshore Ltd. has appointed GAC Shipping UK as its ship agent for vessels supporting its operations for the oil & gas and renewable energy industries in the North Sea.

Under the agreement, GAC will provide a package of support services for vessels chartered by N-Sea calling at UK ports.

GAC's overall approach to delivering quality ship agency services, strong Code of Ethics, unrivalled attention to DA management, focus on compliance, experienced staff and extensive national and global coverage were all contributing factors in securing the agreement with N-Sea, according to Steve Gibson, GAC UK's General Manager, Oil & Gas. A construction vessel, due to call at Montrose in early April, is expected to be the first to be handled under the contract.

Gibson added: "GAC's range of shipping, logistics and marine services forms a total package of integrated solutions to support N-Sea's operations, and we shall draw on our extensive oil & gas industry experience to help them achieve their goals in this highly demanding and competitive sector."
