FSO Safer was constructed in 1976 as a ULCC under the name Esso Japan. It was converted a decade later into a floating storage and offloading (FSO) facility for crude oil and renamed after its new owner, the Safer Exploration & Production Operation Company (SEPOC) – Yemen’s national oil company, which in turn is named after the location of the country’s first crude oil reserve discovery outside Marib at Safar (also spelt “Safer”). Unfortunately, after years of neglect, FSO Safer no longer lived up to the alternative interpretation of its name.
Anglo-Eastern Technical Services (AETS) has successfully delivered 11 ships this year, and currently has 59 more under its newbuilding supervision. With the potential of adding another ten units to its portfolio within the year, AETS continues to maintain a formidable newbuilding order book.

With climate change at the top of many agendas, renewable energy projects like offshore wind farms have taken flight, and with that the demand for heavy transport vessels to support their construction, as previously noted.
The Boskalis heavy transport fleet is known for its many special projects, from novel float-over installations to serving as floating dry-docks for supersized vessels. Now, increasingly, wind farm deliveries can be added to the fleet’s project portfolio, and once again we are proud to be a part of it – as ship managers helping to shape a better maritime future.
We were extremely proud to officially launch Anglo-Eastern Women of Seas (AWOS) during the Mumbai Conference, with a one-day workshop for female seafarers and cadets on February 22nd.
