"This is a significant strategic move for BVT. Gulf Logistics and Naval Support will greatly enhance our customer base and global footprint. It will combine our outstanding naval support experience with the world-class and complimentary capabilities of ADSB in the Gulf,' remarked BVT chief executive Alan Johnston. "Together, we provide a high level of expertise to address the growing demand for enhanced through-life naval support from organisations in the region," Johnston noted. ADSB's chief executive officer William Saltzer said the military vessels and the equipment carried on board are complex and sophisticated, requiring a high degree of support. 'GLNS, supported by its shareholders, will provide this support, ensuring the maximum availability of vessels and the efficient operations of their non-core base activities and facilities allowing them to focus their efforts on the important duty of protecting their countries." "Combining our in-depth local knowledge and capability with the innovative processes and techniques for naval support developed over many years by BVT, our aim will be to inspire confidence and build relationships so that our customers view us as a long-term strategic asset," Saltzer added. GLNS will initially be 70 per cent owned by ADSB and 30 per cent by BVT, with provisions that may allow BVT to increase its holding to 40 per cent in the future, the company statement said. Both companies are fully committed to the effective transfer of technologies, processes, systems and skills in the field of naval support services to GLNS. It will initially employ approximately 90 people, including secondees from BVT. This number is expected to grow significantly as the business grows, it added.- TradeArabia News Service Copyright 2008 www.tradearabia.com Copyright 2009 Al Hilal Publishing & Marketing Group Provided by Syndigate.info an Albawaba.com company |
