“The merger has provided additional regional capacity, technical depth and an increased office network with the addition of our Cairo office.  As part of this process, I am delighted that David has taken up the role as our UAE country manager in charge of servicing both UAE-based clients and supporting our offshore marine operations across the region,” says Ben Lazenby, AqualisBraemar LOC’s regional MD for Middle East & India.

Duffy and his 50-strong team support the Middle East region’s important oil and gas industry with rig moving and marine warranty services.
