Terasea Hawk first called at Singapore on June 3 for bunkering and re-supplying while Terasea Osprey continued towing. In less than 24 hours, Terasea Hawk was back with the convoy, releasing Terasea Osprey for port call on 5 June.
With the tug and tow smoothly underway, the FPSOs are estimated to arrive at Rio Grande on August 1 and will operate in Buzios pre-salt field in the Santos basin. The towage of P-75 and P-77 will mark another successful project delivered by POSH Terasea, underscoring again our commitment to service excellence.
Here’s our 16,000 BHP AHTS POSH Commander en route as part of the convoy for Energean Oil & Gas’ FPSO Energean Power.
POSH Commander was contracted to tow the hull from Zhoushan, China and expected to arrive in Singapore by the middle of the month, where topsides will be integrated before the Energean Power FPSO is to be towed to its destination of the Karish field in Israel.
Our hearts are filled with gratitude for our marine front liners - both the POSH crew and our partner stakeholders - who are working tirelessly to ensure minimal disruptions to operations worldwide in such unprecedented times. Thank you.
Safe voyage to all onboard and onwards towards a successful completion!

Offshore marine services provider, PACC Offshore Services Holdings Ltd. (“POSH” or the “Group”), has commenced support for the Petronas Floating Liquefied Natural Gas 2 (“PFLNG Dua”) after securing two towage and positioning contracts that involve the deployment of four POSH vessels.
The PFLNG Dua is Petronas’ second FLNG unit with an annual production capacity of 1.5 million tonnes of LNG, and the world’s first FLNG vessel to operate in deep water.
The first contract sees two POSH 16,300 BHP vessels undertaking a tow of the PFLNG Dua from Geoje, South Korea, where it had been built, to the Rotan Gas Field in offshore Sabah, Malaysia, where it will be deployed. An additional third 16,000 BHP vessel will also be escorting the PFLNG Dua en route.
As part of the second offshore services contract, a fourth 16,000 BHP ‘C-class’ vessel will be deployed to join the convoy, where it will provide station-keeping services for the PFLNG Dua.
Both charters are expected to complete in early April. POSH is also overseeing the overall project management for the transportation and station-positioning leg of the project.
The contracts are undertaken by POSH’s newly launched Offshore Projects division, comprising a fleet of eight versatile and high-specification vessels including the 21,456 BHP Anchor Handling Tug vessel (“AHT”) POSH Teal with Dynamic Positioning (“DP2”) system.
Mr Eric Ng, Managing Director of Offshore Projects, POSH, said, “POSH is humbled to be supporting this momentous project, which will help address the world’s growing demand for clean-burning fossil fuel. We are confident that our quality fleet, deep experience and excellent track record will enable us to deliver on this highly technical job and many others to come.”
Mr Lee Keng Lin, Chief Executive Officer, POSH, said, “Through our acquisition of POSH Falcon, POSH Hawk and POSH Teal, we are well placed and committed to serving our clients in the ocean towage market. We have complete trust in Eric and his team, who have overseen and delivered many landmark towage and positioning projects for our sector including the Shell Prelude FLNG and Petronas Satu FLNG. The team is well positioned to once again produce the optimal outcomes for PFLNG Dua.”

In October 2018, our anchor handling tug supply vessel ("AHTS") POSH Defender supported the complex transportation of topside and boat-landing from the Ocean Might Yard in Kuching, Malaysia, to the D28 oil field approximately 172 nautical miles off Kuching, marking one of the biggest loadouts of its kind in our industry.
The project tested the mettle of our crew and we executed the project successfully, supporting our clients' business needs.
One unique aspect of the loadout was the sheer weight involved. The total weight of the deck cargo loaded onboard was 446 metric tonnes ("MT"), a heavier than usual load.
The topside and grillage were loaded onto the extreme left of the vessel, which was required to hold dynamic positioning ("DP") approximately two metres from the installation during the offloading of the topside. To ensure that POSH Defender was up to the task, we had to carefully manage the stability calculations involved with the loading of such a massive weight, while taking into consideration the sheer size of the topside.
The concerns were that the heavy load at the extreme ends of POSH Defender might lead to high bending stresses mid-ship. Based on the stability calculations, POSH had to ensure all stability criteria and bending moments for loadout and transportation were within the permissible limits. We refined this multiple times with our client for more than a month to ensure full compliance with International Maritime Organisation Class & Marine Warranty Surveying ("MWS") requirements.
Besides weight and size considerations, we also had to abide by five different inspections - Offshore Vessel Inspection Database ("OVID"), Offshore Support Vessel Inspection System ("OSVIS"), MWS, 2H Offshore and PETRONAS - for the release of the Green Letter to close the punch list.
Managing this massive project seamlessly, safely and completing it on schedule without issue was a major achievement by the team. This speaks to our operational excellence, high standards of service and safety as well as steadfast reliability which we always strive to achieve.
