Gulf Logistics and Naval Support LLC (GLNS), a new Abu Dhabi-based company, was launched on July 27, offering a complete range of support services to maritime defense forces and other vessel operators in the GCC region. GLNS has been set up in a joint venture by Abu Dhabi Ship Building (ADSB) with a 70% shareholding and the UK’s BVT Surface Fleet which will hold 30%. Together the companies provide a powerful combination of regional presence, established naval shipbuilding and support capability, and unparalleled experience in providing through-life naval support services.

AVEVA (LSE:AVV), a supplier of engineering IT systems for the marine industries, said that Abu Dhabi Ship Building (ADSB) has selected the AVEVA Marine software solution to support the design, fabrication and construction of its new projects. ADSB specialises in the construction, repair, refit and upgrade of Naval, Military and Commercial ships at their yard located in Mussafah, Abu Dhabi.  ADSB has especially strong ties with the UAE Navy and is affiliated with several Gulf Navies.  Their decision to select AVEVA Marine came after rigorous studies and benchmarks of other commercially available systems.  AVEVA Marine has become an integral part of ADSB’s exciting business plan.
