The Arabian Gulf’s most demanding operating conditions are met by certified offshore lifting equipment, proven and dependable offshore pipe handling systems, and specialized marine drilling support.
The precision, compliance and absolute safety are required for offshore and marine operations in the Arabian Gulf. Whether it’s jackup rigs and drillships in deep water or commercial vessels carrying out busy lifts in areas of the GCC shipping lanes, there is a high risk if the wrong equipment is used. We know this environment inside and out and can provide offshore crane lifting solutions that range from lifting equipment and rigging to certified rigging gear that is rated to the most rigorous standards of classification societies, rig operators and port state control authorities throughout the region. We provide credibility and capability in every offshore supply contract as we are ISO 9001:2015 certified and have authorized partnerships with trusted worldwide brands.
For any equipment supplier, the Arabian Gulf is one of the toughest environments for operations. If you want to save yourself from wasting time on common industrial equipment, which will be ruined in no time by salt water corrosion, extreme heat and prolonged humidity, you need to find equipment that can withstand those factors. Not only are there mechanical failures risks for operators using substandard offshore lifting equipment, but there are also potential regulatory risks, including from port state control inspections and classification society surveys. Procurement teams in UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and elsewhere are faced with the constant hurdle of locating a supplier that has inventory in the region, all compliance paperwork, and a genuine understanding of the urgency of the situation for maritime applications.
In addition to corrosion, the components for offshore drilling support operations must be manufactured to API & OEM tolerances; even if there is a minor deviation in a marine drilling support component, it could result in significant downtime on a rig costing tens of thousands of dollars per day. Drilift fills this gap by having stock of fast moving parts available in the GCC region along with complete traceability documentation and class approved certifications, so that operators never have to wait for parts to arrive from Europe or East Asia.
Our offshore crane lifting solutions are designed to address the unique characteristics of load dynamics, salt water environments, and regulatory compliance in platform and vessel crane applications. We provide top quality wire rope that complies with the requirements of the crane, luffing and pendants of jack-up rigs, semi-submersibles and offshore supply vessels. All wire ropes are obtained from our official wire rope distribution relationship with one of Europe's most renowned wire rope manufacturers, Teufelberger-Redaelli. Safety testing certificates, dimensional verification and certificates from DNV or Lloyd's Register are included in each unit as standard and can be sent for class survey immediately.
Rigging equipment should withstand repeated loading cycles to operate safely and efficiently in an offshore pipe handling system in a corrosive marine environment. Drilift offers a complete line of wire rope slings, synthetic round slings, shackles, swivel, hooks and lashing chains all certified to DNV 2.7-1 (Offshore Lifting Sets) and EN 13414 (Wire Ropes). Colour coded lifters and load tested lifting sets make it easy to identify SWL on deck, minimising the risk of human error during high pressure pipe running operations. These products aid in tubular goods handling, casing & tubing management and drillstring management on offshore rigs in the GCC region.
Sea drilling is dependent on a constant supply of reliable consumables and spares. Our marine drilling support equipment category encompasses engine spares, drifter parts, drill rig spares and high-grade lubricants designed for use in high-temperature, high-vibration environments. We are an authorized distributor for Mitsubishi Materials (Diaedge) rock drilling tools, including bits, rods and shank adaptors designed for rock drilling with a high precision penetration rate in hard rock. All parts are provided with OEM documentation, material certificates, to meet rig HSE requirements and classification society inspection requirements.
All Drilift’s products supplied to offshore and marine clients are documented to comply with the highest industry standards, which are in use in the GCC. Our offshore crane lifting solutions and rigging gear are DNV 2.7-1 compliant for offshore lifting sets; EN 13414 compliant for wire rope sling production; and SOLAS Chapter VI compliant for cargo securing on commercial vessels. For critical crane applications wire ropes are produced according to ISO 2408 and EN 12385 with full material traceability (Melt origin).
Our ISO 9001:2015 certified source of our drilling consumables and engine spare parts and our own ISO 9001:2015 certified quality management system provide for us consistent quality control in all procurement and supply steps. Drilift’s compliance documentation package contains all the certificates and reports you must have for periodic survey, dry-dock and port state audit inspections by DNV, Lloyd’s Register, Bureau Veritas and ABS, and includes load test certificates, material mill certificates, dimensional inspection reports and manufacturer declarations of conformity.
Drilift has established a successful track record of dependable supply in the most challenging offshore and marine projects in the Gulf. Here, we have assisted offshore drilling contractors in providing them with fast-response offshore lifting equipment supply to the jackup rigs working in the water of Abu Dhabi in UAE and have shortened the time required as opposed to importing from outside of the country. We have provided certified lashing and lifting equipment to operators of vessels that are 100% SOLAS compliant in their GCC routing fleet in Qatar’s Ras Laffan Industrial City, home to some of the biggest LNG operations in the world.
Drilift’s marine drilling support equipment and rigging solutions have been used in infrastructure, energy and construction projects in the Jubail industrial corridor in Saudi Arabia and also in the Port Sultan Qaboos in Oman, where delivery times are measured in hours and not days. We have regional logistics capability, including supply vessel transfers to offshore platforms which enables us to be a partner who is ‘maritime’ at a practical level.
Drilift represents both Teufelberger-Redaelli wire ropes and Mitsubishi Materials diaedge drilling tools, and offers products that are authentic and traceable — not the “grey-market” variety. This could be a critical issue for offshore clients as counterfeit or untraceable components can result in liability issues during class surveys and incident investigations.
We have a regionally available stock of fast-moving lifting and drilling consumables in UAE and we can provide the fast dispatch to the rigs, shipyards, dry-docks and commercial port berths in all six GCC countries, much faster than sourcing from European or Asian suppliers.
The entire documentation package (load tests, material mill tests, manufacturer’s declarations and dimensional reports) is delivered with each shipment, for review by DNV, Lloyd’s, ABS and Bureau Veritas. No follow-up requests. No time lag at the survey.
Drilift’s ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System ensures that all procurements, inspections and deliveries are carried out in a documented manner, ensuring that the offshore crane lifting solutions and equipment delivered to an offshore operator remain consistent each and every time, regardless of the size of the order or the urgency of the delivery.
We arrange logistics directly from warehouse to offshore platforms, ships at anchorage and commercial port berths and dry-docks, not warehouse-to-warehouse. We are familiar with the port agent coordination process and customs clearance for equipment placed under an ATA Carnet and the documentation needed for an offshore delivery in every GCC jurisdiction.
