Integrated Offshore Support for TechnipFMC on the NEA/NI Project
On TechnipFMC's NEA/NI subsea tieback, an Energean-operated gas development off Abu Qir, connecting new offshore wells back to the Abu Qir hub, TechnipFMC delivered the integrated subsea scope while Max Marine provided one Egyptian operations structure for vessel attendance, crew movements, husbandry, supplies, transport and shore-side support.

Operational Context
NEA/NI is a subsea tieback development in the Mediterranean off Abu Qir, delivered by TechnipFMC under an integrated EPCI contract covering subsea trees and controls, manifolds and foundations, tie-in spools and jumpers, flexible and rigid flowlines, umbilicals, and offshore installation through hook-up and pre-commissioning. Supporting that campaign meant vessel calls, crew rotations, local procurement, transport and base support all had to move together through one accountable local desk.
Client Challenge
The risk was fragmentation. If agency, crew logistics, supplies and shore support were split across separate providers, the project would have faced slower handovers, weaker visibility and more operational follow-up for the client team.
Max Marine Scope
Execution Model
One Max Marine point of coordination connected the port desk, crew logistics, procurement, transport and base-support teams. That model reduced the number of handovers the client had to manage during live offshore operations.
Max Marine ran the scope through one operations channel. The agency desk handled vessel calls and port liaison, while the same structure coordinated crew transfers, stores, provisions, vehicles, equipment and office support at the base.
Assets & Capabilities Used
Results & Operational Value
The NEA/NI campaign received a single local support structure for vessel calls, crew movements and shore-side logistics, reducing day-to-day coordination load on the client team.
