An offshore contractor, engineered over five decades
From the founding of GMS in 1977 to the Caracara 6401 of today, Navtec has built a reputation on engineering, safety, and offshore reliability.
A specialist in self-elevating support vessels
Navtec Marine Services, headquartered in Dubai, delivers offshore marine solutions to the oil, gas, and renewable energy sectors. The company specializes in self-elevating support vessels and the services around them — offshore construction and heavy lifting, accommodation and hotel services, well intervention and workover, and qualified manpower.
The group's engineering pedigree reaches back to 1977 and includes the world's first SESV built for rigless well intervention. That experience now stands behind a modern fleet led by the C-Class Caracara 6401.
