GMS Endurance makes its way West
CEO Message
Philips in the summer while Endeavour is likely to
remain in the North Sea for the foreseeable future.
The Commercial Department is working on some
interesting contracts at the time of writing well into
2014 for all classes of assets.
A
s we move into the 2nd quarter of 2012, I would
like to take this opportunity to provide all staff
with an update on GMS and its development
to date.
We have a lot to be proud of, our safety record
continues to be the best in the industry, we are usually
first among the competition to win new contracts, all
of our vessels are on mid to long term hire and we
are making steady progress in the delivery of our
financial targets for 2012. The Company board, senior
management team and I recognise your part in this
and would like to thank each of you for your ongoing
commitment to the success of GMS.
From an operational perspective our K Class and AHTS
vessels continue to perform well in contracts in the
Arabian Gulf, Endurance has demobilized following
a successful contract with British Gas Tunisia and is
currently preparing for a new contract with Conoco
The management team and I are very excited about
the changes ahead for GMS and expect half our
annual revenue to be generated from the North Sea
with both our E-Classes on charter in these waters. As
a result of our success in Europe, we have expanded
our regional presence in Aberdeen by building up a
UK onshore team to support our European Operations
Manager. We anticipate moving into larger GMS
premises in Aberdeen from 1st May 2012.
Whilst we can feel proud about the successful growth
of GMS and the focus on a more global operation we must also recognise we have only achieved this by
taking tough decisions, diligent forward planning and
focusing on performance and cost. We must deliver
more of the same to support the changes ahead for
the organisation and to allow us to continue to grow
successfully.

ZERO LTI’s
19 Years No LTI’s
“GMS K-Class vessels Kamikaze and Kikuyu have amassed an incredible 19 year collectively of
no loss of time injuries.”
T
his is a fantastic achievement for GMS and we
would like to congratulate and thank the GMS
crew, contractors and clients, who have worked
together to create a safe working environment for all.
With the KIKUYU (No LTIs – 7 years) and the KAMIKAZE
(No LIT’s – 12 years) continuing their good work, GMS
now looks to the future and is confident that this
success will be achieved across the entire fleet.
Capt. Edy Hermawan, captain of the KAMIKAZE, had this
statement to share “12 years No LTI’s is the contribution
of the entire crew on board the KAMIKAZE 4301. This
is not something that can be easily achieved; it needs
continuous hard work, concentration, cooperation,
GMS CEO Duncan Anderson receives award for achievement of 12 years no
LTI’s from Adma’s Senior VP (Drilling) Ahmad S. Al-Suwaidi
team work and the awareness to carry out all jobs safely.
We try to make a work safely attitude a habit”.
ADMA – OPCO, who continue to contribute greatly
toward the success of GMS, had this to say “This
achievement is the result of team work on the KAMIKAZE
4301 to perform any job safely. It did not suddenly
drop from the sky; it needs the continuous effort of all
personnel to continue good work in a safe manner”.
Likewise the achievement was noted by Occidental
Qatar and Capt. Mykhaylo Koval on board the KIKUYU,
which boasts 7 years of no LTI’s. “GMS is committed to
the health and safety of its employees/clients. Corporate
HSE policy forms an integral part of the daily business.
Education and training programs encourage staff to
be conscious of their HSE roles and responsibilities,
improve their awareness of HSE issues and promote
voluntary participation in HSE activities”.
Mr. Sharafuddin, Occidental Remote Safety Advisor
shared “GMS has been able to achieve its ultimate goal
of having no incidents or accidents on Barge KIKUYU
to date. This is indeed another feather in their cap and
proves that they have been working to the fullest in
maintaining safety as a priority. They deck crew along
with all the officers have been very efficient in their
jobs, and have been noticed on various occasions,
considering the necessary safety precautions and
regulations before executing a job. We are indeed
proud to be associated with them. We wish and hope
Jack Flash Spring Edition 2012 |
the same practices continue in the future”.
Capt. Mykhaylo Koval of the KIKUYU shared with us his
insight and what it was like to receive and be part of
such an achievement.

adds to our responsibility as a safety conscious and well
trained team, who can protect themselves and those
around them. In all fields of our operations, we urge our
crew not to be complacent and be attentive – “at the
end of the day, what matters is the ability to go home
safely”.
It was a very exciting day when we achieved 7 years
without a lost time accident. All on board of KIKUYU are
extremely proud of this achievement and look forward
to many years of zero lost time accidents. This has
only been achieved through the diligence and safety
consciousness of the entire crew, with their continued
attention to the job at hand and a refusal to take
shortcuts or risks during day to day work.
I have been in charge of KIKUYU 4303 since September
2011, and would like to share the credit with the
previous barge masters, Capt. Yeri Arieffianto, Helal
Cheikh, Eddy Hermanwan & Florentino Galverz for their
contribution in the development and implementation
of the safety practices and procedures which have
helped us achieve a zero accident safety culture. Going
7 years without a lost time accident is a remarkable
achievement that speaks to the commitment barge
KIKUYU 4303 has towards everyone’s safety.
“Safety is not something people just talk about, it’s what
the crew of KIKUYU does each day, putting safety at the
forefront of everything they do – it is ingrained in each
and every daily activity”.
Kikuyu out on location for Occidental Qatar
GMS looks to celebrate and give recognition to good
safety practices throughout the fleet, it is important
to remind the teams of their achievements whilst
reminding them how important it is to avoid any
compliancy and keep up the safe working practice at
all times.
We believe that safety is a result of team work, with
the crew of the KIKUYU working in close partnership
with Occidental to develop a strong culture of safety,
anchored by their remarkable work ethic and daily
dedication. Safety is one of GMS’s core values and all of us
aboard the KIKUYU have always believed that one of the
best indications of our performance is its safety record.
We believe in learning from our mistakes, speaking up
and reporting through the WHAT IF observation cards,
which allow the crew to communicate and report any
safety issues, identifying and addressing any dangers
and risks before they become an accident.
The main concept of a zero accident safety culture is
that all accidents are preventable; we just need to pay
attention, use common sense, and take the time to do
things the correct way – the safe way.

Endurance
Endurance in Tunisia and Beyond
R
ecently the GMS Endurance has come back from
a short job with NPCC/ADMA just off the coast
of Abu Dhabi to mobilise for its new contract in
Tunisia with British Gas Tunisia (BGT).
The initial mobilisation was conducted by GMS
personnel at our base in Mussafah, Abu Dhabi. The
Construction Department completed the mobilisation
as per the project schedule with the removal of the 4
thursters ready for departure on the Swan Heavy lift.
A dedicated team was put together to make sure the
voyage and mobilisation onto the heavy lift went as
planned, the team included Ron McGuire (Operations
Director), Mohamed Fawzy (Marine Superintendent),
Keneth Yan (Piping Engineer) and the Endurance Crew
pictured below. The Endurance departed on the 17th
December, taking advantage of the first available
weather window.
GMS Crew who helped with mobilisation
Endurance placed into position onboard Heavy Lift Vessel
The Endurance sailed south around the Cape of Good
Hope, SA and then North until she passed through
the straights of Gibraltar into the Mediterranean onto
her final destination the port of Sfax, Tunisia. She
arrived on the evening of the 26th of January, coming
off the heavy lift vessel the following day. The GMS
project team had been in Sfax the previous weeks
making preparation for a smooth discharge from the
heavy lift vessel, this took place on 29th January. The
team including Fleet Manager John Watson, Electrical
Manager Charles Anthony and Project Engineers Nonito
Tono, Siyad Ebrahmi and Kenneth Yan, they proceded
with preparing GMS Endurance for work offshore.
The project was
completed with
the assistance of
the Endurance
crew personnel,
HRP (thruster manufacturer) and subcontractors from
Sfax, all completed on time and to budget with no
safety issues to report.

Endurances recent mobilisation and departure to Tunisia
Once the mobilisation was
complete she departed on the
7th of February to the Miskar
Gas field situated 130km East
of the Port of Sfax to provide
accommodation in support
of the Miskar shutdown for
British Gas.
The project has been
completed to the complete
satisfaction of BGT ahead of
schedule and the barge is
now moving to a contract in
the Southern North Sea where
she will work under GMS UK.
SFAX
A recent history, Sfax was used as a major base for the axis forces in
world war II, until they were defeated by the British forces in 1943.
After world war II Sfax was returned to the French but later in 1956
Tunisia was given independence from France but there still remains
strong ties with its old colonial power. During the war there was
heavy bombing and most of the city was lost. The town is now split
up into 2 sections, the old town where the 10th century mosque is
and the modern Sfax which is mostly built on reclaimed land.
There are regular scheduled flights to Paris CDG and chartered
flights between Mecca during times of pilgrimage. Tunis is 270km
away and has direct road link the A1.

New Crewing
Department Structure
Logistics - Anna Lee Brigido has extended her duties
to deal exclusively with crew logistics for the whole
fleet.
Following the recent appointment of Mike Woods
as Crewing Manager it was felt that this represented
an ideal opportunity to reorganize the crewing
department by having all the relevant crewing roles
logistics, recruitment and marine HR, working within
one department.
Recruitment - Najam Saqib is now employed
exclusively on filling all offshore vacancies within the
GMS fleet.
The crew department team is now composed of the
following:
Manager - Mike Woods joined GMS in December
2011 to assume this role.
Marine HR - Malu Noriega provides invaluable
assistance on any personnel issues which arise
whether personnel are at home or onboard.
Support Services - Heidi Torres has recently joined as
an internal transfer from GMS Accounts Department. It
is hoped that by having all these functions operating
within one department that our offshore personnel
will benefit from a centrally provided service.
Gulf Marine Services Walk for Life
“Employees of GMS take part in walk for life to raise awareness for diabetes”
Gulf Marine Services participated
again this year in the annual walkathon
for the Imperial College London
Diabetes Centre (ICLDC) and The
National Health Insurance Company
Daman - it took place at Yas Marina
Circuit on 25th November, 2011. Held
under the patronage of HH Sheikha
Fatima bint Mubarak, the Walk for Life
draws the attention of the nation to
the importance of regular exercise
as part of a healthy lifestyle. Making
the case for a brisk walk, the annual
walkathon first stepped out five years
ago and has already attracted more
than 45,000 people of all ages.
Dr Maha Taysir Barakat, ICLDC’s
medical and research director
and consultant endocrinologist,
confirmed that exercise is known
to contribute enormous benefits to
health.
“A sedentary lifestyle and a
poorlybalanced diet are likely to lead
to excess body weight which in turn
can eventually manifest as type 2
diabetes.”
Did you know?
GMS Empolyees attending the Walk for life at YAS
Meanwhile, Daman’s chief executive
officer, Dr Michael Bitzer said that
Daman continues to support public
awareness initiatives.
“We remain firmly behind Walk
for Life as year after year it draws
the attention of the nation to the
importance of regular exercise,” he
said.
Adults need at least 30 minutes
of moderate physical activity
most days of the week and this
can be as simple as walking
briskly, or climbing the stairs.
It’s clear that simple lifestyle
changes can prevent diabetes
and other related diseases.
Research shows that the
combination of a healthy diet,
regular exercise, weight control
and abstinence from tobacco
has significant health benefits.

How to Manual Lift
Manual Handling Campaign
At GMS we have been promoting our manual lifting
campaign amongst our employees through out the
company and below are some tips on how to lift
items safely.
yy Do not twist while carrying a load. Instead, shift
yy
yy Provide general ergonomics training and
taskspecific training.
yy Get a coworker to help if a product or other item
yy
is too heavy to lift.
yy If possible, use powered equipment instead of
manually lifting heavy materials.
yy Reduce lifts from shoulder height and from floor
yy
height by repositioning the shelf or bin.
yy Use your legs and keep your back in a natural
position while lifting.
yy Test the load to be lifted to estimate its weight,
size, and bulk and to determine the proper
lifting method.
yy
your feet and take small steps in the direction
you want to turn.
Make sure there are appropriately marked
and sufficiently safe clearances for aisles
and at loading docks or passageways where
mechanical-handling equipment is used.
Properly stack loose or unboxed materials which
might fall from a pile by blocking, interlocking,
or limiting the height of the pile to prevent
falling hazards.
Bags, containers, bundles, etc. should be stored
in tiers that are stacked, blocked, interlocked,
and limited in height so that they are stable and
secure to prevent sliding or collapse.
Storage areas should be kept free from
accumulation of materials that could lead to
tripping, fire, explosion, or pest infestations.

Christian Mosakera
1974 - 2011
It is with deep regret I have to inform you of the passing away of
Mr. Christian Moskera out Project Superintendent in the Technical
Department yesterday evening.
Christian has worked for GMS for 14 years and has been at the
forefront of the design and building of the majority of GMS’s jack
up barges which now operate so successfully. The Company
expansion and reputation for quality would not be where
it is today without Christian’s hard work, determination and
innovation. Christian was a very popular and likeable member of
our team and was well respected by his peers and department
heads alike. He will be a great loss to the Company, both as a
friend and employee.
Our thoughts must be with his, wife, children and extended family
at this time; on behalf of GMS I would like to extend our deepest
condolences to them.

HUMAN RESOURCES
GMS Core Behaviours
Leadership
L
eadership, one of GMS’s core behaviour is critical
to the success of GMS and its operation. Captain
Wolfgang from the GMS Endeavour gave his views
on what he believes to be leadership.
Leadership is a job well done, clients satisfied and crew
members happy and most importantly and rewarding
for me is to have a zero accident rate on board the vessel
under my command by constantly executing realistic
safety drills, conducting safety meetings and doing in
depth risk assessment before the start of each job.
All of this should involve active participation and
enthusiasm from each one of the crew on board from
all the departments. And it can only be achieved by the
good team work, involving the heads of departments
showing the best of their organisational skill and
leadership abilities. Which from my point of view - we
have in abundance for each one of my crew members.
Leadership abilities and personal initiative should be
encouraged and rewarded. That’s why we’ve established
a system of rewarding the best on board initiative and
the best safety observation with a prize (sponsored by Statoil).
