Vessels

Oyeli Star
At the beginning of its activities, the company operated with a brand new ship 85 TBP AHTS called OYELI STAR. The ship arrived in Pointe-Noire harbor on January 2, 2015 after her delivery by Sinopacific shipyards.

This state-of-the-art vessel at the cutting edge of technology has demonstrated all its capabilities, to the satisfaction of our customers.

Its technical reliability, its latest generation systems (dynamic positioning, FIFI, etc.), its diesel electric propulsion (optimized fuel consumption and low carbon emissions in the atmosphere) as well as its most modern operational capacities (maneuverability), offer essential guarantees of reliability to the customers of Congo Maritime Services Company. The vessel regularly assisted supertankers (VLCCs) and Suez max size vessels during their crude oil loading at the DJENO SBM BUOY.

In March 2021, the OYELI STAR ended its bareboat contract with Congo Maritime Services Company and was replaced by a front-runner, the SEAWAYS 12, pending the arrival of a new construction planned to replace the ‘OYELI STAR, the motor vessel MARC ANTOINE.

Marc Antoine
Since March 11, 2021, the MARC ANTOINE has been performing the towing service at DJENO as the main tug, replacing the OYELI STAR.

Equipped with more than 120 TBP, the MARC ANTOINE is an AHTS- DP1 - ORO II - Hoses flushing - FiFi type tug, with conventional propulsion (CPP).

Due to its configuration and its traction power, the MARC ANTOINE provides a towing service that meets the expectations of oil tankers.

Maridive 233
With the concern of guaranteeing safety and quality in the oil crude terminals, in particular that of DJENO, the company ensures since September 15, 2020 a permanent security watch using a second tug of 85 TBP called MARIDIVE 233. The vessel has been mobilized in the harbor of Pointe-Noire, on October 30, 2020 from Alexandria in Egypt.

This vessel has conventional propulsion (CPP), which gives it comfort and technical reliability in terms of its maneuverability. In addition to this, it is equipped with the latest generation systems (dynamic positioning, FIFI, etc.).

Its technical and operational capacities provide essential assets to ensure quality work and bring benefit to Congo Maritime Services Company customers.

Mini Star
Congo Maritime Services Company also has a specialized terminal workboat, the MINI STAR, to assist with the mooring and unmooring of tankers from SBM and IMODCO buoys.

Its role mainly consists of operating the loading hoses.

This terminal workboat is also used as a support vessel during SBM and IMODCO buoys maintenance operations.
