PACC Offshore Services Holdings (“POSH”), a leading provider of offshore marine solutions, has expanded its Towage & Installation fleet with the addition of a new anchor handling towing (AHT) vessel, POSH Courage.

This fleet enhancement strengthens POSH’s capacity to undertake larger or multiple towages, further boosting the Company’s ability to execute concurrent tows and offering clients greater scheduling flexibility and operational scalability. Built for demanding global offshore infrastructure projects, POSH Courage is equipped with a Dynamic Positioning Class 2 (DP2) system and delivers a powerful bollard pull of 203 tonnes. The vessel is suited for intercontinental FPSO tows, deepwater mooring installations and complex rig moves, operating reliably even in challenging offshore environments.

“POSH Courage represents more than just fleet expansion. It enhances our ability to deliver timely, reliable and efficient offshore project solutions globally,” said Eric Ng, Head of Offshore Projects, POSH. “With more vessels in play, we are well-positioned to support multiple projects simultaneously and meet the growing demands of the offshore energy industry.”

The POSH Courage joins the Company’s “C Series” fleet of anchor handling towing vessels designed for deepwater and intercontinental towage, mooring and hook-up operations. This brings POSH’s global fleet to 45 vessels, further reinforcing its position as a trusted partner for complex marine projects worldwide.

PACC Offshore Services Holdings (POSH), a leading specialist in offshore marine solutions, announces successfully completing the transoceanic tow of the Agogo Floating Production Storage and Offloading (Agogo FPSO) to Angola. The Agogo FPSO is the latest fleet of Yinson Production and will be operated in Block 15/06 offshore Angola for Azule Energy. POSH’s high-performance anchor handling towing vessels (AHT) – POSH Eagle, POSH Hawk, and POSH Osprey were instrumental in relocating the Agogo FPSO from China to Angola.

Measuring approximately 330 metres in length and weighing over 300,000 metric tonnes, the massive unit was towed for more than 10.000 nautical miles to the offshore Agogo. The extensive voyage underscores the exceptional strength, endurance, and reliability of POSH’s ocean towing fleet. The AHTs navigated challenging sea and weather conditions in convoy to safely deliver the FPSO to its final offshore location. Notably, the Agogo FPSO is the first in the industry to feature a post-combustion carbon capture pilot system.

POSH’s fleet continued to provide station-keeping services to ensure the Agogo FPSO maintains its precise position and heading during the critical phases. POSH Eagle, POSH Hawk, and POSH Osprey will remain on standby, ready to provide dynamic positioning assistance and contingency towing if required. This phase is crucial for the Agogo FPSO’s safe and efficient integration into the field’s production infrastructure.

“This milestone demonstrates our proven expertise in managing complex, long-haul towing operations across different regions,” said Eric Ng, Head of Offshore Projects, POSH. “With our well-equipped vessels and experienced crew, we consistently provide our clients with robust and dependable offshore logistics solutions.”

POSH’s role in the Agogo FPSO tow reinforces its standing as a trusted offshore marine partner, building on a track record spanning over 70 years. POSH offers a comprehensive suite of offshore support services, including ocean towage, offshore construction and installation, subsea services, serving clients across the energy and marine industries.

SINGAPORE, 13 APRIL 2022 – Offshore marine services provider, PACC Offshore Services Holdings (“POSH”), has commenced work on a major subsea installation and construction project off India’s west coast, after securing a contract over US$100 million with its consortium partner Seamec Limited.

POSH, in consortium with Seamec, is providing an integrated suite of subsea services for the seventh development phase of the Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (“ONGC”) Pipeline Replacement Project (“PRP-7”) for engineering, procurement and construction (“EPC”) conglomerate Larsen and Toubro (“L&T”).

POSH will deploy four vessels including the heavy subsea construction and installation vessel POSH Natuna and Dynamic Positioning 2 (“DP2”) Dive Support Vessel (“DSV”) POSH Mallard for the project, which is expected to run until May 2024. POSH will oversee overall project management, integrated scheduling and installation engineering aspects as lead partner of the consortium.

To further bolster its ability to serve the subsea sector, POSH recently repurposed POSH Mallard as a DP2 DSV with ABS Class Notation including integrated Air and Saturation Dive systems, compliant to International Marine and Contractors Association (“IMCA”) and International Oil and Gas Producers (“IOGP”) standards. Having been retrofitted with 300-metre Saturation and Air Dive systems and equipped with a 100T Subsea crane that can work in depths of up to 200 metres, POSH Mallard is now ready to support all forms of subsea work including light to moderate construction, installation as well as inspection, remedial and maintenance (“IRM”) scopes.

Mr Ulva Chai, Chief Operating Officer, POSH, said, “This contract win demonstrates the strong progress made by POSH Subsea in winning and managing offshore projects, having performed numerous similar projects in the past few years. It solidifies our position as a partner of choice in the fast-growing subsea space, which is an area of focus for us. We are also pleased to add POSH Mallard to our subsea-capable fleet. Together, these developments augur well for POSH as we continue to accelerate our transformation to become a future-ready, sustainable solutions provider for the global energy sector.”

Mr Kurush Contractor, Managing Director, POSH Subsea, said, “POSH is pleased to be supporting this phase of ONGC’s PRP-7 project for L&T. We are confident that our quality fleet of vessels, committed team and excellent track record will enable us to deliver on this highly technical job, and many others to come.

POSH Subsea’s POSH Mallard will feature classed air and saturation diving equipment

Dive system providers are developing bespoke solutions for subsea vessel owners

Looking to offer integrated diving solutions on its vessels, Singapore-based POSH Subsea inked a deal in January with Unique Group to design, manufacture and deliver classed air and saturation dive systems.

Over the next two years, Unique Group will supply classed air and saturation diving equipment, compliant to the stringent Oil and Gas Producers (OGP) 468 and International Marine Contractors Association (IMCA) guidelines, as well as consumables and technical support during and post installation.

POSH Subsea, a unit of PACC Offshore Services Holdings Ltd, operates specialised vessels capable of supporting subsea inspection, repair and maintenance (IRM), construction and installation.

To minimise operational downtime, Unique Group is supporting the contract with its Unique Equipment Manager (UEM), a digitalised planned maintenance system that integrates with the dive systems to enable POSH to track the condition of the equipment more accurately.

Subsequent to its contract with POSH Subsea, Unique Group secured an order from Kazakhstan-based subsea services provider FSDS Group for a bespoke air dive systems. In June, Unique Group’s Diving & Life Support division in Sharjah delivered such a system in eight weeks.

ABS classed and built to IMCA guidelines, the diving system comprises a dive control station, diver decompression chamber, diver monitoring and life support, air storage, high- and low-pressure compressors and main diver and standby diver hot water machines.

FSDS Group chief executive Matt Richards, said: “Our technical team worked rigorously with the engineering team at Unique Group to ensure that the system was designed to our specific requirements.”

UK-based JFD, part of James Fisher and Sons plc, was similarly challenged in September with an order to deliver saturation diving products rated to a depth of 500 m. JFD designed and delivered the new products as part of a saturation diving system for a leading offshore service provider.

For the contract JFD developed new environmental control systems, gas reclaim and life support products that provide saturation dive capability. To meet the requirement for 500 m-rated products, JFD updated its existing technology to provide greater performance capacity, as well as developing entirely new products, all of which had to be verified and proven at this lower operational depth. The new technology utilised by JFD has enabled products to be designed that are able to cope with increased pressure, increased ability to heat and which cool the divers’ living environment; they also offer increased transfer of gas and fluids at extreme operational depths.

JFD has previously modified its range of equipment to meet customer requirements. In 2014, as part of a saturation diving system built for the Russian Navy to support submarine rescue operations, JFD’s saturation diving products were enhanced for 450msw operation and incorporated within the diving vessel Igor Belousov.
