Message from the CEO
GMS had a busy year, with seven of our jackup barges deployed
in the Arabian Gulf and two located in the North Sea during 2012.
We added another K-Class vessel to our fleet and our anchor
handling tug support vessels are in high demand in the Gulf. This
continues to be the picture, with our vessels already contracted for
some years to come. While 80 per cent of our business continues to be oil and gas
related, built on the strong foundations of long and valued
relationships with our clients in the Middle East, we also entered
the renewable energy industry in 2011. Our DP2 E-Class barge
GMS Endeavour completed a wind turbine installation project for
Statoil in the North Sea and is continuing on with three contracts
signed for transformer installation in the offshore German sector.
We increased our presence in Europe with the expansion of our
office in Aberdeen, which is handling contracts for GMS Endeavour
and her sister barge GMS Endurance, with the latter contracted to
ConocoPhillips in the Southern North Sea.
Our business has blossomed in recent years; in fact we are fiscally nine times
larger than we were in 2007. As we move forward, we recognise that critical
to sustaining successful growth is the continuity of our exceptional HSE
standards, operational performance and client services. Our attainment of UK North Sea Safety Case for both our
E-Class barges has been an important achievement and we have
commenced a new barge expansion programme.
2012 was the second consecutive year we achieved zero lost time
injuries (LTI). We had more than 17,000 combined days without
LTI on our vessels and renewed our ISO 9001, 14001 and OHSAS
18001 certification for another three years with BSI. More than
10,000 safety observations were reported by our fleet thanks to
additional onshore and offshore safety reporting initiatives.
We upgraded our IT and equipped our staff with new mobile phones
that are fully integrated with our office systems. We developed
a bespoke business awareness and management training
programme that is proving beneficial in our day-to-day working
practices. I am particularly pleased to say we have substantially
increased our workforce, in both the UAE and Europe.
I’d like to thank all our staff for their continued diligence as we go
forward in 2013.

3.1 2012 HSE Objectives
In 2012 our objectives centred on the expansion of our operations in the North Sea while maintaining
our excellent HSE record in the GCC. Part of the expansion involved the development of Safety Cases
for the E-Class vessels. The Safety Cases had to be approved by the Health and Safety Executive prior
to the vessels’ commencement of work on an oil and gas contract. Our HSE management systems also
had to be revised to take account of UK health, safety and environmental legislation. Company-wide,
we still expected to complete a year without injuries, and proactively looked to improve our audit and
incident closure performance.

Lagging Indicators
GMS tracks the number of days a vessel, or area of operation such as our yard in Mussafah, has
gone without a Lost Time Injury being sustained. The table below shows by area the results. The
Kikuyu still leads the way with an astounding 2,922 days. There has actually never been a Lost Time
Injury on the Kikuyu as 2,922 days is actually the number of days since she first went on contract
with Occidental Petroleum of Qatar.
The safety period shows the total number
of leading and lagging indicators recorded

The Atlas and Helios, our two Anchor Handling Tug Supply (AHTS) vessels, are also doing very well
as the operations they are engaged in are often very hazardous with a large potential for seafarers to
have hands trapped in wires and cables during routine operations. In order to keep track and show
the LTI records on the vessels and in the yard, we recently installed digital clocks that are visible
when boarding a vessel or entering our premises.

2012
The table below shows the total number of incidents recorded in 2012, including Environmental
and Occupational Health incidents. No Occupational Health cases were recorded or Environmental
Pollution incidents. There was, however, one loss of oil on the deck of a barge which was cleaned
up without any spillage overboard. The incident was recorded as a Near Miss. We also categorise
incidents by actual severity and potential severity to determine the detail of investigation required.

CBT was introduced to GMS in Q4 of 2011. In January 2012, the E-Class and K-Class vessels were
22% compliant with CBT training, as per the GMS HSE Training Matrix. In Q3 2012 an action plan was
put in place between the QHSE department and the Captains, Chief Mates and HSE representatives
on the vessels to really push forward the CBT training and raise the competence levels of the crew.
The crew actively promoted the CBT training on board with a challenge between the vessels to see
who would be the first to be 100% compliant.
The results spoke for themselves. By December the crew was 80% compliant with CBT. This included
the crew on rotations and new crew who had joined the company.

The HSE company induction will be going online in 2013. There will be three company inductions:
offshore, onshore and construction yard. From February all crew, employees and contractors can
undertake the same specific induction wherever they are in the world.
The new HSE induction will allow:
g New employees to access the inductions online from anywhere in the world with an internet connection
g
The ability to run reports from one computer to view the inductee’s progress and results
g
GMS to edit material easily anytime there are changes to company policies or procedures
g
For all employees to be inducted before they start work, saving time and money familiarising the new employees with the company
g
Inductees to be assessed at the end of the induction and all results recorded in a central database
g
Consistent induction training throughout our multinational company
In 2013, four new CBT trainings will be introduced: Electrical Safety, LOLER, PUWER and Working
at Heights. The aims of the new CBT training are to help the crew to operate more safely in their
day-to-day offshore operations.

Safety Case
Early in 2012 we submitted a Safety Case to the UK Health and Safety Executive for GMS Endurance.
The Safety Case submission is a requirement of the Offshore Installations (Safety Case) Regulations
2005, for vessels to operate in the UK continental shelf as an installation. The Safety Case was approved
by the Health and Safety Executive and we then prepared a similar Safety Case for GMS Endeavour.
7 Document
Management System
The project was started by identifying the requirement for a Document Management System (DMS).
We reviewed documentation in use throughout the company that needed to be controlled and then
looked for suitable DMS systems.
This was done through initial departmental meetings to identify the type of documents that needed to be
controlled and then looking at the technical constraints within GMS that would affect our ability to deliver
a solution to our offshore assets.
Systems were then vetted on the above needs, documentation and technical aspects along with a
scored assessment criteria which included aesthetics, usability, document visibility and transparency,
functionality, vessel compatibility, implementation and cost. The end result showed that BusinessPort
Agility was able to successfully satisfy all the criteria making it the recommended system for GMS.
The BusinessPort Agility Management System provides an innovative solution to highlight compliance
throughout the company. The software is Microsoft SharePoint compatible with features centralised
around visual Business, Processes and Document Management. The Agility Process Mapping tool
provides clarity over ‘who does what, when and where’ without having to create voluminous text
documents. The system is aimed at simplifying the complexity of multi-tiered documents and using a
process-based approach. The BusinessPort solution will provide GMS with greater transparency, easier
access and better understanding of the processes and documentation required to operate.
