Emas AMC landed offshore contracts

Ezra Holdings Limited (“Ezra” or “the Group”), a leading contractor and provider of integrated offshore solutions to the oil and gas industry, today announced that the Group’s Subsea Services division, EMAS AMC, has secured multiple contracts from various energy companies valued at more than US$65 million (including options).

Scope of work includes project management, engineering, and transportation and installation works for a floating production storage offloading (FPSO) vessel in Africa, as well as various engineering and offshore construction support contracts.

Work on the various project activities has commenced with offshore execution taking place in 2015 and 2016.

“Despite the current headwinds faced by the oil and gas industry, our tendering activities remain healthy,” said Mr Lionel Lee, Ezra’s Group CEO and Managing Director.

“We sit in the value chain where it is more resilient. Since the beginning of 2015, the Group has announced contract wins totalling more than US$355 million. I am delighted that we are consistently being recognised for our track record and engineering capabilities across the development and support of offshore oilfields by our clients.”

Moving Abroad Checklist

Initial Considerations

Will your partner be travelling with you?

If so, what will they be giving up in your present home and will they be able to continue with their career in your new home? You will need to check whether a separate visa is required for your partner to work or if your visa gives that right. If they are unable to work you will need to decide on the effect on your finances and what alternatives are available to give a fulfilling life (home business, training, voluntary work).

Are you taking family with you?

Moving with family raises many exciting opportunities, but also can create challenges. The HSBC Expat Explorer survey indicates that expat kids can take six months to settle in to their new country (see article). Getting young or even older children to prepare to move and leave their friends and family behind can be a challenge and should be thought through.

The options for education is another area that needs to be thought through.

Moving your child to a new country with a different education system can be a great opportunity to broaden their experience, but if they are close to key exams the timing can make this inadvisable. If you do take your family with you, it is important to decide between joining the local school system or choosing an international school.

Where will you be living?

Whether you will be living in a house or apartment, furnished or unfurnished, these decisions will affect what you need to take with you. The time you are planning to live overseas will also affect whether you should leave your property at home empty, rent it out or sell it. See the article Sell, Store or Ship.
