<strong>Manning</strong> solutions for all requirements<br />
Global reach, local expertise<br />
Rich sources of oil and natural gas in and off the coast of West<br />
Africa have secured an important place for the energy sector in<br />
the development of local economies. The <strong>GAC</strong> Group provides<br />
a wide range of shipping, logistics, marine and related services<br />
to support oil and gas exploration and extraction throughout<br />
the region.<br />
Trained professional manpower<br />
Trained professional manpower is a must. <strong>GAC</strong> responds to<br />
that need with by supplying qualified local crew to the marine<br />
industry through <strong>GAC</strong> <strong>Manning</strong> Services (<strong>Nigeria</strong>) Ltd.<br />
In many locations, regulations require a proportion of personnel<br />
to be locally sourced. For more than a decade, <strong>GAC</strong> <strong>Manning</strong><br />
Services has combined the best of local resources and overseas<br />
training to provide local marine crew, as well as cadets, specialists<br />
like mooring masters and officers for marine operations related<br />
to energy projects in <strong>Nigeria</strong>, Ghana, Togo and Benin.<br />
Excellent industry relationships<br />
<strong>GAC</strong> <strong>Manning</strong> Services sources deck crew from the <strong>Nigeria</strong>n<br />
Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) pool and<br />
their own extensive network. Such crew are duly certified, have<br />
received basic training and hold all the relevant, valid papers.<br />
The company also has more than 70 cadets on its books, sourced<br />
through extensive interviews and testing at the Maritime<br />
Academy of <strong>Nigeria</strong> in Oron. Training is also coordinated through<br />
the Regional Maritime University in Ghana, SAMTRA in South<br />
Africa, NMCI in Ireland and SOLENT in the UK.<br />
For officers, the company works closely with <strong>GAC</strong> Training &<br />
Service Solutions (GTSS), a joint venture between <strong>GAC</strong> and the<br />
National Maritime College of Ireland (NMCI) to provide specialist<br />
training. Merchant Navy Courses provided include specialised<br />
training for oil, LNG and chemical tanker operations.
