A Singapore offshore support vessel owner and builder is diversifying into new offshore sectors and building a fleet for the future
Kim Heng Group deputy chief executive for marine and offshore, Justin Tan, talks about the advantages of operating a fleet of offshore support and construction barges to deliver on projects in the oil, gas and renewable energy sectors.
During an interview at Riviera’s Offshore Support Journal Conference, Asia 2024, held in Singapore in September, he explains the future investment strategy for the fleet and other assets for organic growth.
Kim Heng owns a fleet of more than 35 vessels with a mixture of support vessels, workboats, construction barges and anchor handlers.
The Singapore-based company is diversifying into operating geotechnical survey vessels to engage with the offshore windfarm sector and is also investing in assets for the growing cable-laying sector. This includes converting a vessel into a geotechnical survey ship.
Riviera’s Offshore Support Journal Conference, Middle East will return to Dubai, UAE, 11-12 December 2024, bringing together the industry’s leading vessel owners, oil and gas companies, EPC contractors, technology and service providers to discuss opportunities, challenges and strategies to succeed in a booming offshore market.
