Loyz Marine

What Loyz Marine does

Loyz Marine Services Limited is an indigenous Nigerian oil and gas servicing company headquartered in Lagos that provides an integrated suite of maritime services to international and national oil and gas operators, commercial shipping, and public sector entities operating in the Nigerian maritime domain and Gulf of Guinea. Its core offerings span four service areas: Security & Surveillance (a fleet of 8 purpose-built security vessels manned with Nigerian Naval personnel, armed guards, port facility security assessments, and risk management), Marine Logistics Support (offshore support vessels including AHTS, PSV, crew boats, house boats, and product tankers for DPP/CPP/LNG/LPG products), Maritime Consultancy (vessel sales/purchase, crude evacuation solutions, and asset operations and maintenance), and General Services/Procurement (industrial equipment, PPE, pipe fittings, pumps, valves, and bespoke sewage evacuation solutions).

The company's operational backbone is a 24/7/365 Operations Command Center (OCC) in Lagos, which integrates AIS Live Technology, VHF, UHF, satellite communications, and GSM to provide real-time vessel tracking, surveillance, and incident response. Field Security Liaison Officers (FSLOs) are embedded onboard Security Escort Vessels to serve as a bridge between the OCC and the Naval team and to deliver threat analysis. The company positions itself as a localized, indigenous alternative to international maritime security and logistics providers, operating under a strategic partnership with the Nigerian Navy.

Loyz Marine's business model is enterprise B2B project-based services, with contracts negotiated directly with oil and gas operators and government entities. All four revenue streams — security and surveillance, marine logistics, consultancy, and procurement — are structured as professional services engagements. The company is privately held and founder-operated (Bassey Adie serves as CEO, Founder & Managing Director), with no disclosed institutional investment, no funding rounds, and no parent company. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Marketing channels are primarily digital (corporate website, LinkedIn, Instagram, X) supplemented by monthly Maritime Risk/Security Reports and participation in industry events such as London International Shipping Week and NIES 2024.

Broad incumbents

• Vroon Offshore: International shipping group with offshore and subsea vessel operations serving oil & gas and offshore energy clients. Comparable to LOYZ's vessel chartering line but as a broad incumbent with global reach and larger fleet.
• Tidewater: One of the largest global operators of offshore support vessels serving the oil & gas industry with a presence in West Africa. Overlaps with LOYZ's vessel chartering offering but as a broad incumbent with a much larger and more diversified fleet.
• Bourbon: Global offshore marine services company operating a large fleet of OSVs (AHTS, PSVs, crew boats) serving oil & gas operators worldwide, including West Africa. Comparable to LOYZ's Marine Logistics & Support services but at significantly larger scale and broader geographic footprint.
• Solstad Offshore: Norwegian-based global provider of offshore support vessels (AHTS, PSVs, subsea construction) to the oil & gas industry. Overlaps with LOYZ's marine logistics offering as a broad incumbent with deep operational and capital resources.

Direct peers

• Protection Vessels International (PVI): UK-based maritime security operator that provides armed security escort vessels and personnel for commercial shipping transiting high-risk waters. Directly comparable to LOYZ's Security & Surveillance offering, though operating globally rather than focused on the Gulf of Guinea.
• Caverton Offshore Support Group: Nigerian offshore logistics and marine support company that provides vessels, aviation, and offshore support services to oil & gas operators. Directly comparable indigenous Nigerian peer with overlapping vessel chartering and oilfield services.
• Maritime Asset Security and Training (MAST): UK-headquartered provider of armed maritime security and training services for vessels operating in piracy-affected regions. Directly comparable to LOYZ's armed escort and FSLO-embedded security offering, though MAST's footprint is more globally distributed.

Emerging players

• Vallianz Holdings: Singapore-based integrated offshore marine services company offering vessel chartering, ship management, and engineering services to oil & gas clients. Comparable multi-service model to LOYZ but operating in a different geography (Asia/Middle East rather than West Africa).
• Pole Star Global: Maritime intelligence and vessel tracking technology provider offering fleet monitoring, sanctions compliance, and risk management services. Comparable to LOYZ's Operations Command Center tracking stack (AIS, satellite, communications) as an enabling technology peer.

Regional players

• Eastern Airways / East Atlantic Security Brokers: Portuguese-origin maritime security provider operating in West African and Gulf of Guinea waters, offering armed security teams and vessel protection. Directly comparable security offering but focused on Portuguese-speaking markets.
