JSI Alliance has opened an office in Bilbao in cooperation with Noatum Maritime Services that will handle the commercial representation of its multipurpose and heavy lift fleet and provide port agency services across Spain, Portugal and North Africa.
Through the partnership with Noatum Maritime Services, the JSI Alliance representative office on the Iberian Peninsula will initially serve the Spanish, Portuguese, and North African markets, with plans to expand activities into Türkiye and later the Middle East.
“We are delighted to have found the ideal partners in SAL Heavy Lift and the JSI Alliance to further advance our growth strategy in port agency services,” said Terry Gidlow, ceo of Noatum Maritime Services. “Both sides bring decades of experience in the international project and heavy lift sector and complement each other perfectly – a truly ideal match.”
Dr Martin Harren, ceo of JSI Alliance members SAL Heavy Lift and Intermarine, as well as the Harren Group, added: “Having an outstanding team led by Josu Iturri in Bilbao, and working closely with Noatum Maritime Services, will play a key role in our future development. Our strong presence in North and South America will become even more closely connected with European ports, as many transatlantic routes pass through Iberia. In light of our planned fleet expansion, strengthening our activities in Spain is a logical step – and with Noatum Maritime Services, we have exactly the right partner at our side.”
In July 2025, HLPFI reported that the JSI Alliance is expanding its fleet with the addition of six D-type vessels.
