Company:Great Offshore Limited

From HandWiki

Great Offshore Limited (GOL Offshore) is an Indian offshore oilfield services company.[1] It is based in Mumbai . The company's operations date back to 1983, although it has only been trading under its current name since 2006.[1][2]

The company has come under criticism in 2016 for not paying the crews of two of its platform supply vessel ships: Malaviya Seven[3][4] and Malaviya Twenty.[5][6] The ships were detained in Aberdeen and Great Yarmouth respectively.[6][7] These cases have been highlighted in the UK parliament.[8]

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency has been working with the International Transport Workers' Federation (ITF) as the non-payment of the crew members contravenes both the Maritime Labour Convention and UK Modern Slavery Act 2015.[9]

In September 2017 a court allowed the sale of the ship Malaviya Seven, and owner GOL Offshore was reported to be in liquidation.[10]

In August 2018 Captain Rastogi and the last four crew of Malaviya Twenty won a high court case, helped by the Nautilus International union and the ITF, with the Admiralty marshal agreeing that the ship could be sold to pay the port and crew.[11][12]

GOL Offshore Ltd. was a publicly traded company on BSE (Scrip Code: 532786), however from July 19, 2017, it is suspended from trading.
