GOL OFFSHORE Great Offshore were part of Great Eastern Shipping Company until 2005 when they became a separate entity. All of their ships are called "Malaviya something". The company has recently taken delivery of the Malaviya 23 and the Malaviya 28, increasing their total fleet of vessels to 42, although not all of them fit into any of the ship types listed here. Great Offshore also designate their vessels slightly differently from us, but we have preserved our designations here. In addition to these vessels there is one MSV on order but no details are available yet. The fleet has been subject to some changes, not all of them reflected by the current fleet list. They have also sold one ship off the stocks to a Nigerian company. They seem to have no further ships on order. At some point the company name has been changed to GOL Offshore, and so this page name has been changed in line. At the 2015 update, the website does not seem to be quite correct since it still has one ship present which has been sold, and a number missing which, as far as one can tell, are part of the fleet. They have one medium sized anchor/handler on order.
