The Birth of a Maritime Powerhouse
In the heart of **Abu Dhabi, UAE**, a new chapter in offshore marine history has begun. Two giants — **International Marine Construction Company (IMCC)**, established in 1974 and headquartered in Kuwait, renowned for its leadership in offshore marine maintenance and construction services, and **Maridive Offshore Projects**, founded in 1993 in Egypt as one of the region’s largest marine and oilfield service providers — have joined forces to create something monumental.
On **November 4th, 2025**, during the prestigious **ADIPEC Abu Dhabi** event, both companies signed a **Memorandum of Understanding (MoU)**, officially launching **‘One Marine’**. This groundbreaking joint venture will focus on offshore support vessel (OSV) operations and deliver integrated marine services across the GCC, Middle East, Asia, and global markets.
From the very beginning, the vision is clear: to combine unrivaled operational expertise, advanced marine assets, and innovative technical capabilities to provide efficient, safe, and high-quality offshore support, maintenance, and logistics. Headquartered in the **Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM)**, One Marine is set to become a beacon of excellence for the energy, ports, and infrastructure sectors worldwide.
Strategic Partnerships and a Vision for the Future
This alliance is more than business — it is a bold statement about regional cooperation and shared ambition. **Mr. Ahmad Saad Al-Mnaifi**, Chairman of IMCC, and **Mrs. Shahira Zeid**, Chairwoman of Maridive Offshore Projects, spearheaded the signing, marking a pivotal step toward enhancing maritime service capabilities within critical markets.
The leadership team itself signals strength: **Mr. Maen Razouqi**, Vice Chairman & CEO of IMCC, will serve as Chairman of One Marine, bringing decades of expertise in regional growth and strategic market positioning. Meanwhile, **Mr. Mohammed Nadim**, CEO of Maridive Offshore Projects, will take on the role of Vice Chairman, ensuring the venture harnesses over **80 years of combined experience** to meet the soaring demand for efficiency, safety, and sustainability in the industry.
Supported by **Gate Capital**, a Dubai-based strategic and corporate finance advisory firm, One Marine is already being hailed as a “milestone transaction” in the offshore marine landscape. **Mr. Munther Hilal**, CEO of Gate Capital, emphasized the profound value structured partnerships bring to the ever-evolving marine sector.
With such powerful synergy, One Marine is not just poised to navigate challenging seas — it is set to lead them
