LADOL Restates Commitment to Create Jobs

The Lagos Deep Offshore Logistics Base (LADOL) has pledged to focus on working with the government and the private companies in Nigeria to create more jobs after the successful handling of the integration work on the multidollar Egina Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessel.

The company said in a statement that it was also working toward the creation of an enabling environment for policies that will ensure that Nigerians, who worked on the integration of the Egina FPSO at its yard at the Lagos Free Trade Zone, remain employed and that thousands more are employed in future projects.

The Managing Director of the company, Dr. Amy Jadesimi, revealed this following the successful completion and departure of the fully integrated Egina FPSO from the LADOL yard in Lagos.

According to him, “Boasting a purpose-built, state-of-the-art logistics and engineering base, LADOL was selected by Total and Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) as the local content partner for Samsung Heavy Industries for the Egina FPSO project.

“Under the arrangement, LADOL was to make available its facilities for the integration of the topsides of the FPSO after its fabrication by Samsung at its yard in Geoje, South Korea. And with the completion of the fabrication work, the vessel sailed away from that country in October last year, arriving the LADOL yard at the Lagos Free Trade Zone, owned by LADOL, amid splendour on January 24, 2018.”
