GSP Orion (former Lady Elizabeth) arrived in Constanta

August 4, 2007

GSP Orion, a PSV of 3,000 DWT, is the latest GSP’s Naval Division acquisition. The vessel left Aberdeen on the 4th of August heading for GSP’s headquarters in berth 34, Constanta Port, where it arrived on August, 19th. The ship increases the number of GSP’s support vessels to six. The ship entered a contract with Petrom – OMV. GSP Orion will support the drilling operations of GSP’s Jupiter drilling rig on the Romanian continental shelf of the Black Sea. It will also perform supply transport in the Black Sea for Petrom’s production rigs.

The GSP’s Naval Division development strategy took into account the long term market tendencies in the offshore oil industry.
