Investment case

A diversified offshore platform, built quickly and financed institutionally

Six pillars underpin the equity and credit story: fleet, contracts, geographies, asset backing, capital structure, and the founder-led team behind it.

01

Leading offshore O&M operator

Pure-play owner of self-propelled SESVs and OSVs supporting operations & maintenance across offshore oil & gas and renewables. Founded in 2023 by Hassan Elali, previously founder of ZMI Holdings, the world's largest owner of self-propelled SESVs prior to its sale to ADNOC L&S.

02

Modern, growing fleet

A fleet of 31 vessels, of which 19 were delivered as at September 2026 and 12 are under construction with deliveries scheduled through 2026–2027 and the final vessel expected in Q4 2027, comprising self-elevating support vessels, offshore support vessels, an accommodation barge, and subsea-support tonnage.

03

Tier-one clients, contracted backlog

Contracted with ADNOC L&S, NMDC, Abu Dhabi Oil Company (Japan), Ørsted, SSE, and Semco Maritime, with USD 799m of contracted backlog at 30 June 2026 with investment-grade-rated counterparties and 90% H1 2026 operating-fleet utilisation.

04

Balanced regional exposure

Positioned across two supply-constrained markets: aging Middle-East oilfield infrastructure driving brownfield maintenance and well-intervention activity, alongside structural offshore-wind O&M demand in the North Sea and Americas.

05

Institutional capital structure

Inaugural USD 550m senior secured bond placed in June 2026, the largest Nordic-market bond issuance by a MENA-headquartered company, materially oversubscribed. Management estimated 2026 EBITDA of USD 190m, the mid-point of a USD 180–200m range, of which approximately 78% is contracted, and net leverage of 1.21x at 30 June 2026.

06

Founder-led, offshore-native team

Led by a management team with more than 40 years of combined offshore-energy experience, including the founding and sale of ZMI Holdings and senior roles across banking, M&A, and leveraged finance.

Debt investors

Inaugural senior secured bond: June 2026

USD 550 million placed in the Nordic bond market to fund the newbuild programme, refinance a USD 175m Goldman Sachs bridge facility, repay a related-party loan, and support general corporate purposes. Materially oversubscribed on a broad international institutional order book.
