About Zamil Offshore Company
Al-Zamil Brothers founded ZAMIL Offshore Services,
ZOSCO as a 100% Saudi owned, Limited
Liability Company. From the inception it is actively involved in both offshore
and onshore marine work.
In 1977

first vessel chartered by ZOSCO to SAUDI ARAMCO. In the same year, Zamil
introduced ship repair to Saudi ARAMCO. Zamil built a floating dock for ARAMCO
then leased it to them and operated it for repairing their vessels thereafter
sold it to them.

Zamil became pioneer in gradually diversifying and increasing
the scope of its services in the marine business. King Fahd Ship Repair Yard
(KFSRY) was taken by the company on a long-term lease. Its business was
reshaped by involvement in the repair and conversion of offshore support and
port service vessels.

navigation and pilotage in King Abdul Aziz port in Dammam in addition to

repair, refits, overhauls, and conversions of offshore vessels.
