Four die as vessel capsizes in Suez Gulf; three still missing
The incident occurred around 130 nautical miles from the southern entrance of the Suez Canal and has not disrupted navigation along the trade route, the Suez Canal Authority Chairman Osama Rabie said in a statement.
Egypt's petroleum ministry on Tuesday said oil and gas producer Offshore Shukheir Oil Co (OSOCO) reported the incident as occurring near Egypt's Gabal El-Zeit area along the Red Sea.
The vessel is a jackup barge unit named Admarine 12 owned by a subsidiary of offshore drilling service provider ADES. It was carrying 30 personnel, 23 of whom were rescued, ADES said in disclosure to the Saudi Exchange.
The petroleum ministry earlier misidentified the vessel as Adam Marine 12.
Three ADES personnel and one contractor were killed, and rescuers are searching for the remaining three, ADES said.
The vessel was operating in a concession where ADES and OSOCO have partnered to drill wells.
The vessel and personnel are comprehensively insured and at this stage there is no material impact on finances or guidance for the fiscal year 2025, ADES said.
"The company is working closely with local authorities and emergency services, with the safety and well-being of all personnel remaining its highest priority. A full and thorough investigation into the incident will be conducted," ADES said.

Turkiye denim producer signs $20m Egypt factory deal to boost exports
The deal, valued at $20m, is expected to generate approximately 500 direct employment opportunities. The factory is projected to produce up to 18 million tonnes of denim fabric each year. Half of this output is designated for export, while the remaining half will supply domestic factories in Egypt. Covering 16,700m2, the plant will focus on producing denim yarns, threads, and fabrics, which serve as the foundational materials for different types of jeans textiles. The agreement was formalised by General Authority of the Suez Canal Economic Zone chairman Walid Gamal El-Din and Şirikçioğlu Grubu chairman Atef Şirikçi. Walid Gamal El-Din said that 'the Suez Canal Economic Zone continues to intensify its efforts during the current phase to attract more investments in the sectors that the authority aims to localise within its strategy, in order to achieve the state's goals of deepening local manufacturing and increasing exports'. The authority also commits to improve the region's infrastructure to align with increasing international demand for goods by enhancing supply chains and integrating them with the economic zone's ports on both the Red Sea and Mediterranean as well as its industrial and logistics zones, the authority chairman said. The latest undertaking marks the 25th project within the Qantara West Industrial Zone, bringing the total investments in the area to $681.5m and creating 34,955 direct jobs. 'This confirms the success of the strategic approach followed by the authority to promote export industries, deepen the local manufacturing system, and localize supply chains in the spinning and weaving sector, starting from the manufacture of raw materials, through the stages of denim fabric production, which is the raw material for producing jeans, and ending with the ready-made garment industry,' Walid Gamal El-Din stated. Şirikçioğlu Grubu Textile Turkiye, which was established in 1997, produces denim threads and fabrics. With a workforce exceeding 5,000 across its factories in the country, the company exports its textile products to numerous global brands. Waleid Gamal El-Dien recently signed a contract with Turkiye company Ulusoy for the establishment of an industrial project on a 35,000m2 land plot in the Qantara West Industrial Zone. This factory will produce fibre yarns, carpet yarns, hand-knitting yarns, tricot yarns, and household crochet yarns. The $18m project is expected to generate around 855 direct job opportunities. In August last year, Turkiye's Eroglu Garment started construction on a $40m ready-made garment factory in the Qantara West Industrial Zone.
