Great Offshore Limited

Great Offshore Limited (GOL Offshore) is an Indian offshore oilfield services company.[1] It is based in Mumbai. The company's operations date back to 1983, although it has only been trading under its current name since 2006.[1][2]

The company has come under criticism in 2016 for not paying the crews of two of its platform supply vessel ships: Malaviya Seven[3][4] and Malaviya Twenty'.[5][6] The ships were detained in Aberdeen and Great Yarmouth respectively.[6] These cases have been highlighted in the UK parliament.[7]

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency has been working with the International Transport Workers' Federation as the non-payment of the crew members contravenes both the Maritime Labour Convention and UK Modern Slavery Act 2015.[8]
