Sapura Energy said the contracts would keep the company’s accommodation workboats and geosurvey vessels engaged for an extended period during financial year 2026.
KUALA LUMPUR: Sapura Energy Bhd’s operations and maintenance (O&M) division has been awarded multiple offshore support vessel (OSV) contracts in Malaysia and Thailand, totalling close to RM100mil.
It said in a statement yesterday that the contracts would keep the company’s accommodation workboats and geosurvey vessels engaged for an extended period during financial year 2026 (FY26).
“The contracts include the chartering of two 200-pax-capacity workboats, KPV Redang and Sapura Duyong, to support offshore operations in Sabah and Sarawak.
“The contract for KPV Redang commenced in February for a duration of one year, with an optional one-year extension, while that for Sapura Duyong began in March and runs for eight months, with an option to extend for an additional two months,” it said in a statement yesterday.
Sapura Energy also said the OSV’s 200-pax accommodation workboat, Sapura Aman, secured a 245-day charter with an option for a further 90-day extension with a Malaysian operator.
“Sapura Energy’s subsidiary, Sapura Offshore Sdn Bhd, has engaged the OSV’s 300-pax accommodation workboat, Sapura 300, for a duration of 30 days. Both vessels will provide accommodation services for offshore crews in Malaysia,” it said.
In Thailand, the offshore company has been contracted to provide geotechnical soil boring services using Sapura Wira to support drilling at the Rossukon field in the Gulf of Thailand.
It noted that the contract, secured following the successful completion of another project in Thailand, is expected to be completed in the coming weeks.
Meanwhile, Sapura Energy O&M chief executive officer Nasri Mehat said the contracts are a testament to its clients’ trust in its capability to deliver reliable offshore support services.
“In FY25, we achieved 99% uptime for all our OSVs and maintained an impeccable safety record with zero recordable and zero lost time incidents,” he said. — Bernama
