Milaha Explorer is a new and modern vessel, and we wish its captain and crew safe and successful operations,” said Milaha president and ceo Abdulrahman Essa Al-Mannai.
Milaha took delivery of the China-built Milaha Explorer in 2016, and it is part of the group’s marine offshore fleet comprising over 47 anchor handling towing vessels, platform support vessels, dive and construction support vessels, and other offshore support vessels.
