    Operational context

    Project

    The West Nile Delta development, spanning the Taurus & Libra, Giza & Fayoum and Raven fields off Alexandria, is one of Egypt's largest offshore gas programmes. Max Marine's role was local operational support: crew logistics, agency, documentation, port passes, customs coordination and ground movements through Egyptian gateways.

    Client requirement

    Continuous offshore activity depended on reliable crew rotations and documentation while schedules were also affected by adverse weather, restrictions associated with official visits and customs inspection requirements.

    Execution structure

    Delivery

    Max Marine coordinated crew logistics, immigration, port agency and customs through one local team across Alexandria and Port Said.

    Max Marine coordinated crew rotations through Alexandria and Port Said, preparing documentation ahead of each movement and connecting airport transfers, immigration support, port agency and customs coordination so offshore personnel movements remained aligned with the drilling schedule.
