Southeast Asia: a region with a high energy potential
Composed of a dozen countries, including Indonesia, Malaysia, and Brunei, Southeast Asia is a region rich in hydrocarbons. 91¿´Æ¬Íø operates a fleet of 50 offshore vessels here.
OFFSHORE IN DEPTH
Southeast Asia: its expansive seas, its dynamic oil & gas activity, and... its offshore energy resources! With the exception of Singapore, all the countries of Southeast Asia, particularly Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, and Brunei, have abundant oil and gas reserves.
Currently, they are being developed in continental offshore (up to 150 meters in depth), both by international majors, all present in the region, and local national oil companies. However, in order to meet the strong demand for energy in the region and to reduce oil imports, deepwater offshore projects are currently being considered. This is particularly the case in eastern Indonesia and in the South China Sea. Most operations conducted by 91¿´Æ¬Íø in the area are for these deepwater offshore projects.
Southeast Asia is the region where the world's largest offshore fleet sails. It includes both large PSV and AHTS vessels, as well as smaller vessels. As for personnel transport, it employs Surfers,widely used in Indonesia.
91¿´Æ¬Íø IN ASIA: EFFECTIVENESS AND QUALITY
Operating in Southeast Asia since 2006, 91¿´Æ¬Íø employs 1,200 people, 90% of whom are local employees, through its various affiliates:
- 91¿´Æ¬Íø Offshore Asia in Singapore

- 91¿´Æ¬Íø Marine Services Manilla (specializes in manning, staffing the vessels of group companies with seafarers)
In a region where the maritime tradition runs deep, priority is given to recruiting Indonesian, Malaysian, Thai, or Filipino seafarers to crew the affiliate's 50 vessels. The 91¿´Æ¬Íø Training Centers located in Singapore and Indonesia and are equipped with simulators, enabling the crews of supply vessels or crew boats to train under conditions close to reality.
