Marine Agency & Vessel Support for Subsea 7 on the West Nile Delta
Subsea 7 executed the subsea construction and installation for BP's West Nile Delta development, one of Egypt's largest offshore gas projects, with further work on the GFR and Atoll gas fields. Max Marine provided the full marine-agency and logistics layer across Alexandria, Damietta and Abu Qir for the installation fleet.

Operational Context
West Nile Delta is a deep-water Mediterranean gas development operated by BP, where Subsea 7 delivered the EPCI of subsea pipelines, structures, umbilicals and risers linking offshore wells to onshore processing. The installation spread included some of the industry's most specialised construction vessels, each calling through Egyptian gateways for crews, supplies, clearances and support craft.
Client Challenge
A deep-water construction spread cannot wait on disconnected shore-side formalities. Heavy-lift, reel-lay, dive-support and cable-lay vessels all needed attendance, clearances, crew movements, guard boats, supply runs and equipment kept moving across more than one port area, with high manpower mobilisation running at the same time.
Max Marine Scope
Execution Model
The team coordinated agency, crew logistics, customs and supplies across multiple ports rather than treating each port call as an isolated job, scaling vehicles, manpower and support craft up and down with the offshore campaign.
Max Marine attended the installation fleet across Nile Delta port areas, clearing formalities, rotating crews, chartering support craft and keeping equipment, fuel and provisions flowing, so the offshore construction spread had one local marine-support workflow wherever it called.
