General – Workboat Transfer
Jifmar Group from France and Vlissingen-based Seacontractors today finalized the transfer of Seacontractors’ fleet of 15 workboats, following the agreement signed on 28 August 2025.
As of November 19, 2025, the vessels and their associated teams will officially join Jifmar, marking a significant step in the Group’s expansion across the Middle East and Indian Ocean regions.
The transaction includes a six-month transfer services agreement under which Seacontractors will continue to support fleet operations, ensuring continuity for clients and a seamless handover of ongoing projects.
The team within the Dubai office and the seafaring crew assigned to the fleet will transfer to Jifmar and maintain their current commitments towards the future.
With this acquisition, Jifmar Group now operates a fleet of 84 vessels, including 26 units positioned in the Middle East and Indian Ocean, consolidating its status as the leading global operator of shallow-draft workboats.
The expanded fleet strengthens Jifmar’s capacity to deliver turnkey maritime solutions to the energy- and coastal infrastructure industries.
