Platform vessel boost for LSE

The recent signing of a RM100mil contract by Labuan Shipyard Engineering Sdn Bhd (LSE) for the engineering, construction, testing and delivery of a 77m diesel-electric propulsion platform supply vessel with Tanjung Kapal Services Sdn Bhd has placed the company in a better position in the marine and oil and gas industries.
LSE chief executive officer Mohd Azman Nasir said that the vessel, the first to be built in the country, would be designed to transport deck cargo, personnel, consumables and equipment between the offshore platform and shore base.
It would also cover the areas of external fire fighting, pollution prevention and rescue operations.
“We are glad to be given such a big role and trust by Tanjung Kapal to undertake the project. This would enable us to play our role in the growth and development of the marine and oil and gas industries of the country,” he said.
The contract, signed on Sept 30, also marked a significant milestone in the continuous business and working relationship between LSE and Tanjung Kapal, Azman said.
He said LSE would execute the project in accordance with the stringent safety and quality standards and requirements of the marine and oil and gas industries.
This was LSE’s first major marine project designed to serve the upstream oil and gas sector, Azman said.
He added that the company was looking forward to taking on bigger roles in the development of the industry.— Bernama
