AOS are continuing our long standing partnership with Fugro for the provision of marine crew and catering services. AOS are engaged by Fugro to provide full marine crew including deck officers, marine engineers, deck crew and crane operator. AOS also provide a full catering service including supply of provisions, menu planning and professional chefs and catering crew all based on an agreed daily budget.

AOS have recently supported Fugro in the successful completion of a geotechnical drilling campaign for Esso in the Bass Strait. Fugro utilised the specialist geotechnical and scientific drilling vessel the Fugro Mariner for the campaign.

Fugro project manager Abhijit Bandyopadhyay commented:

“The support received from AOS during the Bass Strait geotechnical campaign in providing marine crew and catering services for the Fugro Mariner has been outstanding. This was the first time the Fugro Mariner was being brought in Australia. Fugro engaged with AOS right from the start of the contract and worked together along the way in identifying key elements required to address smooth operation in Australia. The quality of marine crew provided onboard were excellent and the marine crew and project crew acted as a single team all through the campaign. The client provided good feedback on the high morale and safe working attitude amongst the crew. The catering services including quality of food, menu planning, delivery of provisions etc. were of high quality and received positive feedback from client and project team. We look forward to working with AOS in future.”

AOS are continuing to support Fugro on the Fugro Etive which is engaged in a long term IMR contract for Woodside.
