Saudi Gazette - Aramco plans offshore fleet expansion by 2016:

"Saudi Aramco's offshore fleet is set to grow by 50 vessels to a total of 260 by 2016, as well as a fleet renewal strategy that will see most of its tonnage replaced with new, larger, more powerful vessels in the next few years, Seatrade Communications Limited reported Monday.

Speaking at the opening of the three-day Middle East Workboat and Offshore Marine in Abu Dhabi, Nabil Khalid Al Dabal, industrial services executive director at Saudi Aramco, outlined the program as well as a number of key projects in the Middle East region.

Recent projects producing significant work for the offshore fleet in the Middle East include the automation of the world's largest offshore field, Safaniya, and continuing work on a number of large gas fields in the region."
