Thursday Mornings Blog!

Welcome to Thursdays Blog! As news was limited yesterday I did not post anything, apologies!!

Company Profile.

Offshore Marine Support Ltd eveolved from our previous business " The Arun Experience"
This was started by me initially to offer trips to Customers in the Bristol Channel, it was a good place to start but with limited success, today we are in a very different market. OMS Ltd was founded in 2010, the search for a way into the industry began, I attended many conferences from Aberdeen to Falmouth and during those trips I have made many friends, on two occasions have been given the opportunity to address the delegates, standing in front of up to 300 delegates as a relative "newbie" is not easy! I remember at one event getting applause for having the nerve to take the stand!

OMS Ltd is dedicated in providing, a comprehensive, safe and well organized solution to offshore Charter. We can assist with a variety of different situations our vessels are JNCC compliant for survey, however they are suitable for a multitude of tasks;

Ornithological Survey
Survey and Towing
Crew Transfer
Safety
Safety standby
Maintenance
VIP site tours
Filming
Small cargo Etc

Location.

We are based in Portishead, however on Arun is currently in Refit in Northern Ireland and Mabel Alice is currently working out of Brighton, we are able to mobilize quickly to any location.

Previous Customers include

EON, Natural England and Natural Power, we welcome new customers and would like to thank our previous customers for there custom and support!

The Future for OMS Ltd,

As we continue to grow I hope that we can add further vessels to our growing fleet, during 2011 we propose to add or at least order new build wildcat to our fleet and as a result are seeking to engage with end users!! If you are seeking to contract such a vessel please contact me.

Thanks for reading my Blog, I am glad to receive comments, it proves that this is being read! I have had several positive comment from around the world, please keep them coming,

Have a great Thursday and "Stay Safe"

No! but I have a very strong belief that we can win through. Please keep the comments coming they are important and for anyone setting out on the long road, "keep positive, believe in your product and network like crazy!! GOOD Luck!

OMS Ltd is seeking opportunities!!

Can we support Your Project?

Today I find myself in the office talking to and connecting with prospective customers, quite often I am at sea at the helm of Mabel Alice, you might even find me at conferences around the UK seeking those opportunities, where ever you might find me please come and say "Hello"!
We are here to help and assist, call us with your requirements if you cannot see what you need on our web site we may still have access to it! we can tailor a package to suit your needs and application.

Wind Cats

We have planned to add a 20 mtr wind cat to our growing fleet, in the last few days I have secured a build slot for her, I am now seeking those of you out there that have a suitable requirement for a NEW BUILD vessel, early days, however talk with us (it cost nothing), together we can develope a purpose built vessel for your long term project, important!! we have the option to build more than one (how many do you need) this is a very REAL opportunity, I have general arrangements if you need to view them.

Finally.

Our Service is proffessional! our vessels are maintained to the highest degree, many of our crew members are Ex RNLI and trained to the highest levels, and the environment that we work in is very important to us and we take every step to ensure we work to protect it!

Mabel Alice Continues to be Chartered on the Rampion wind Farm Project in the English Channel, she is currently berthed in Brighton Marina, our next Survey is penciled in for April 15th.

We are always looking for new customers and more projects to support, if you have an offshore project and would like to use our services, please do not hesitate to call me, we have many vessels in our fleet in England and Northern Ireland.

JNCC Compliant!!

Our Aruns are JNCC Compliant! after lengthy discussions with JNCC, they agreed that the Aruns were suitable for Bird and Mammal Survey, fitting in with the guidelines that they have laid down!

We take a huge amount of Pride in our vessels, Mabel Alice is the Ex Penlee Lifeboat and is part of Cornwalls maritime history, she served Penlee for 20 years bringing the crew and casualties home safe time and time again, all our vessels are maintained to the highest level, our crews are highly proffessional and have many thousands of hours at sea, many of them are either current or Ex RNLI Crew.

The Environment

The environment around us is important, we like to do our bit by ensuring that our operation is as green as possible, we take care to ensure that we protect this vital asset!! we return all waste to shore!! dirty oils, bilge water and general rubbish is removed and disposed off correctly! we maintain the highest standards of house keeping onboard.

Our Vision

We aim to provide a one stop shop for the Renewables sector, from survey to ongoing maintenance for the life of a Windfarm, working openly with operators. Although early days we are now being recognised and we have provided some valuable support to the industry with great results.

We look forward to working with you!!

Thank you for reading our Blog, Have a great Sunday

NEW BUILD WIND CAT
Yesterdays post included some news about our proposed new vessel, talking to our Builders yesterday we have now decided on a 20mtr version as it seems this is the preferred size, over the next few days we will have new General Arrangement drawings for the proposed vessel, these vessels cost a fortune to build to the specification I have asked for, if you are considering chartering one in the future its time to talk to us now!! we can add specific feature's to ensure all requirements are catered for!!!

Mabel Alice 

Mabel Alice is still in Brighton, she is working currently on the Rampion WF site, carrying out Ornithological Survey on behalf of EON, thank you to all those concerned for choosing us!

More news

We have several Tenders due to come to decision during April, wish us good luck as we continue to develop! 

Vessels and Services

We currently have 2 Arun Class Vessels both are JNCC compliant, Mabel Alice is also Cowrie Compliant.

We have available 2 Harbour Tugs for Charter 15T Bollard pull.

We also have available 2 coded robs (Cat 3) available on trailers for fast response.

New Location

We now have a Northern Ireland associate, based close to Belfast and able to cover Irish Sea and West Coast on England and Scotland including the Isle of Man and the Scottish Isles.

Determination!!!! Does it Pay off?

YES!!  In today's market place its very difficult to succeed, I have struggled over the last 2 years to break into the market, however my resolve is much greater than to give up! we are not out of the woods yet! however things are steadily improving. There is little or no help for news enterprise in the UK, you have to be Bold! try everything to win through and you will succeed.

I

am Ex RNLI crew and the best thing I ever read was a simple sentence, "Lifeboat crew never turn back"! I have applied this time and time again!!  you choose.

Have a great weekend and " Stay safe"
