JAD Group has completed the successful acquisition and loadout of five new Class 215 jack-up barges, marking a significant milestone in the company's continued investment in offshore capabilities.

The new vessels, including the flagship 'Raimy Eymard,' were transported from Louisiana, USA to Nigeria, further strengthening JAD's position as a leading provider of Self-Elevating Work-Over Platform (SEWOP) services in West Africa.

The acquisition brings JAD's liftboat fleet to include vessels across Classes 170 through 230, offering clients an unmatched range of options for offshore construction, production engineering, drilling support, and major project requirements.

This investment demonstrates our commitment to providing our clients with the most modern and capable fleet of SEWOPs in Nigeria. These vessels meet the highest international safety and operational standards.

The new barges undergo rigorous inspection protocols before deployment and are operated by professionally licensed, experienced, and safety-minded crews.

JAD's SEWOPs division continues to set the highest safety and performance records in Nigeria, supporting major clients including Chevron Nigeria Limited, Shell SPDC, and Mobil Producing Nigeria.
