Singaporean company enters Middle East with maiden oil & gas contract in Arabian Gulf

Singapore’s offshore marine solutions company PACC Offshore Services Holdings (POSH), part of the Kuok Maritime Group, is extending its subsea construction capabilities into the Middle East with the award of a maiden contract in the Arabian Gulf.

POSH has secured a subsea umbilicals, risers and flowlines (SURF) contract with what it describes as a leading oil & gas EPC major in the Arabian Gulf, under which it will deliver the transportation and installation (T&I) of various SURF products, with offshore execution scheduled to commence in the first quarter of 2025.

The scope includes miscellaneous pre-lay and post-lay support services, along with the installation of approximately 170 kilometers of power cables, umbilicals and flexible flowlines.

The company will use its DP-3 multipurpose offshore construction vessel (OCV) POSH Deep C to transport and install subsea umbilicals risers and flowlines products for several projects.

Leonard Kong, Head of Subsea Construction and Installation, said: “The award of this project represents a key achievement and is a testament of our growing partnership with our client. With this milestone, our collaboration has expanded beyond India into the Middle East region, and we are well-positioned to continue to support our client with our high-quality integrated services in the region.”

POSH acquired POSH Deep C, at the time known as BOA Deep C, from BOA OCV back in 2022. The capabilities of the 119-meter-long vessel encompass deepwater floaters and mooring installation and removal, installation of offshore floating wind structures and mooring systems as well as SURF installation works.
