Ensco DS8 & DS9.
The Valaris multinational,
owner of the Esco ship fleet, which constitutes one of the biggest in the
sector of offshore services worldwide, has decided to leave the port of Santa
Cruz de Tenerife in order to move its vessels to the port of Las Palmas de Gran
Canaria. In this sense, we can highlight that the Valaris multinational is made
up of two companies, Esco and Rowan, both of which equal 82 oil platforms all
over the world, and its headquarters are in London.
According to the ship
repair company Tenerife Shipyards, this decision means an anual loss superior
to 8 million euros for the port of Santa Cruz de Tenerife. As the managers of
this company say, “this is very bad news not only for the port facilities in
the capital, but also for the whole municipality of Santa Cruz, because we lose
the biggest multinational in the sector of oil operations”. In their opinion, “the
fact that we have lost this opportunity will also entail a loss of jobs and
investments in the city, regarding to accomodation, food, transport and other
spendings”.
Besides, Tenerife
Shipyards has submitted a request for setting up a floating dock in the port of
Santa Cruz de Tenerife and they expect that it will be approved wiithin a
deadline of ten months, after a processing period which has lasted more than
three years. Mario Suárez, director of Strategical Development at this company,
comments that the port authority of Santa Cruz de Tenerife submitted to its
state counterpart, more than a month ago, the environmental procedure necessary
to implement the dock in a sheet of water in this port.
From our entrepreneurial
initiatives, we are considering the possibility of paying a visit to the
headquarters of the Valaris multinational in London, within a second trip to
the UK capital, with the aim of presenting our proposal for a leisure port and
a marine research centre in the zone of Playa Paraíso (municipality of Adeje).
In the same way, we are thinking to visit the headquarters of Tenerife
Shipyards in the port of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, because this company is
managing the creation of a floating dock in order to perform ship repair in
this port.
Our purpose consists
in getting the sponsorship of companies related to the naval sector, such as
Valaris and Tenerife Shipyards, the main hotel companies and restaurant
business placed in the zone of Playa Paraíso and the hotel business association
in Canary Islands (Ashotel), with the aim of seeking support to the proposal which
we are designing for this zone of Adeje. This sponsorship strategy will allow
us to perform the presentation of this initiative with success at the London Chamber
of Commerce and Industry, and we are even thinking in getting previous
financing for the presentation through a crowdfunding platform.
