Through major contract wins and completion of key build and refit projects, we are committed to supporting our regional partners and will continue delivering contracts while focusing on expanding our capabilities and offering in 2016.”

In 2015 ADSB continued to bring more focus towards growing its service offering for clients. In line with this effort, ADSB is now focused on setting up a Floating Dock facility in Mina Zayed, introducing Through Life Capability Management (TLCM) service contracts with UAE Naval Forces, CICPA and other GCC Navies and expanding long-term service contracts with local and international commercial customers.

To complement its core service offering, ADSB will continue to diversify through investment in two wholly owned subsidiaries Frontiers, which specializes in the management and integration of combat systems, and Safwa Marine which specializes in sales, servicing, refits, charter, brokerage and management of luxury and super yachts.

The company also has a deep commitment to develop the next generation of Emirati leaders and offers talented UAE nationals access to a work environment with top of the line training programs and consistently challenging yet rewarding projects to help them become the business leaders of tomorrow. In line with the company’s agenda of Emiratization, ADSB appointed four UAE nationals to director positions to lead the Baynunah Corvettes Development Program, the Naval Support Services (NSS) division, the Arialah Project and Kuwait LandingCraft project.
