Caromarine, the marine company of Carogas Services, owns, operates and manages offshore supply vessels, tugs, barges and specialist marine craft for oil, gas and energy operators in Nigerian waters and beyond.
Overview
Caromarine operates as shipowner, charterer and vessel operator. This direct operational control means our clients work with one team that is responsible for crewing, maintenance, class compliance and vessel performance throughout every assignment.
Our management team has delivered towage, offshore supply and well testing operations across West Africa, Latin America and the Middle East. We pair that experience with a growing Nigerian crew base and access to a wider fleet through partner owners, so we can respond to routine and specialist requirements alike.
Operations in Nigerian territorial waters, the wider Gulf of Guinea and international fields.
Equivalent vessels stand ready when a unit goes in for survey, dry dock or repair.
Training and progressive crewing with Nigerian seafarers to support client local content obligations.
