GSP won the auction held by Pemex, and it will now relocate two marine platforms to Mexico, said Radu Petrescu, GSP’s spokesman.
The GSP Atlas and GSP Orizont platforms will be moved from the Persian Gulf to Mexico, where they will start work in May-June. Upgrades on the two platforms required an investment of $66.5 million so far, and transport will require $10 million, which the company will borrow from Romanian largest lender, BCR.
GSP has other contracts with companies such as Gazprom (Russia), TPAO (Turkey), Melrose Resources (UK) and the European Agency for Maritime Safety.
Over the past two years, GSP has invested over $140 million in equipment and ships for marine construction activities.
Businessman Gabriel Comanescu holds 90% of GSP through Upetrom Grup Management, and 5% directly.
