    Rowan (now Valaris) Rig Agency & Shore Support operations in Abu Qir, Alexandria, Egypt - Max Marine Group support

    Operational Context

    Rowan later became part of Valaris through the EnscoRowan combination. This case study focuses on the earlier Egyptian rig-support engagement and the local operating model Max Marine provided from Abu Qir.

    Client Challenge

    The drilling schedule needed a shore partner at Abu Qir to keep crews, port formalities, customs support and supplies moving without adding day-to-day coordination overhead for the operator.

    Max Marine Scope

    1
    Rig and vessel agency at Abu Qir
    2
    Crew changes and airport-to-rig transfers
    3
    Customs clearance and temporary port passes
    4
    Supplies, stores and provisions
    5
    Equipment rental and transport
    6
    Yard storage and shore-side support

    Execution Model

    The engagement used a single Abu Qir coordination point for rig agency, people, passes, customs, supplies and shore-side support.

    Max Marine worked as the rigs' shore-side support arm at Abu Qir: agency and port formalities, crew movements between airports and rigs, customs and pass support, supplies, equipment, transport and yard coordination.

    Assets & Capabilities Used

    Results & Operational Value

    The Rowan engagement demonstrated Max Marine's Abu Qir rig-support model: one local team coordinating agency, crews, customs, supplies, equipment and yard support for offshore drilling activity.

    Rig agency and shore support were coordinated from Abu Qir.
    Crew, customs, supplies and yard support were handled through one local structure.
    The case shows continuity of rig-support capability before the later Valaris era.
