Between July 4 and July 10, 2026, Starzs Investments Company Limited (SICL) will observe its 40th anniversary. This week of events marks four decades of resilience and innovation within the Nigerian maritime and energy sectors. Under the theme “Transforming Lives, 40 Years On,” the company will host policymakers, industry experts, and community leaders to discuss the future of the Blue Economy.
The celebration begins with a Thanksgiving Service and community-focused social responsibility projects. The week concludes on July 10 with a maritime symposium titled “Anchoring Resilience: 40 Years of Private Indigenous Initiative, Shaping Nigeria’s Maritime Future,” followed by a formal gala.
Engr. Greg Ogbeifun established SICL in 1986. Starting as a modest marine services provider, the company has evolved into a prominent logistics firm with a fleet of 11 offshore support vessels. Since 2010, the company has completed over 35 offshore contracts, supported by a workforce of more than 200 staff members. SICL now operates as a diversified group with subsidiaries covering security, automotive care, and gas distribution.
A core pillar of the company is its dedication to training Nigerian seafarers. Its cadetship program has successfully mentored over 100 individuals, offering them professional sea experience. Managing Director Ms. Iroghama Ogbeifun emphasized that the company’s true impact lies in the transformation of people’s lives through these training and employment opportunities.
Looking ahead, SICL remains focused on advancing local content, modernizing infrastructure, and fostering the next generation of maritime leadership to ensure Nigeria remains a globally competitive force in the industry.
