Words from President

In Youssou’s words: “Senegal’s local content laws are one of the greatest advancement the country’s industry has seen in the past five years. We have the networks, we  have the expertise, but we still need to develop local resources to compete with the large foreign companies. The goal of local content frameworks is not to force the oil and gas majors, or IOCs, but rather to make them aware that when they come here to Senegal, they can find local companies, complying with the international standards requirements, to work alongside with the local permits, reliable vessels, expertise and innovation to make things easier for them. And so far, our new laws are succeeding. It was time for the winds of change to blow and push forward Senegalese companies and expertise, and that is what we’ve seen.”

“Senegalese oil and gas is a young sector but the attractiveness of the country for business is evident. We have a strong, stable political scene and have never experienced war. After all this is the Land of Teranga, the Land of Hospitality.” The company’s name also derives from a local word: “Gainde” meaning “lion,” inspired by an Ernest Hemingway quote which captures the spirit of Gainde Marine Offshore:
“The old man never dreamed of a storm again, nor of great events, nor of fights, nor of tests of strength. He dreamed only of landscapes and lions by the sea.” On a continent fraught with challenges for business and in an industry prone to a certain volatility, this peace of mind from a top quality, reliable, full integrated marine services experience is what Gainde Marine offers – a no fret solution for fresh and established players in the country’s emerging mega-industry.
