At the end of the visit, a debrief on the tour was done by Aveon senior management and comments were received from the Executive Secretary and the IOCs senior representatives.
Summing up his impressions, Engr. Wabote commented that, “It’s been an impressive story; all the International Oil Companies Aveon has worked for have given positive feedback on Aveon Offshore even the major contractors that sub-contracts jobs to them, the likes of Saipem have also commended the activities of Aveon Offshore. We are seeing a company that has thought through the entire process in terms of HSE, in terms of Quality and are committed to it. This is one fabrication yard that we think is doing very well, they are wholly indigenous and also fully established in the Niger Delta, creating employment for Nigerians and also supporting the oil and gas industry.”
