The first vessel, AHTS 1, will be owned by the Group’s 71% indirect subsidiary, PT Pelayaran Nasional Bina Buana Raya Tbk (PT BBR). Measuring 60.8 meters in length and 16 meters in breadth, it delivers 80 tonnes bollard pull and 6,000 BHP, featuring Dynamic Positioning (DP2) and Fire Fighting Class 1 capabilities.

The second vessel, AHTS 2, to be Singapore-registered, is larger with an LOA of 76 meters and breadth of 18.5 meters. It has a bollard pull of 135 tonnes and 10,800 BHP, and is also equipped with DP2 and Fire Fighting Class 1 systems.

Primarily intended to support offshore oil & gas activities in Southeast Asia, the new vessels can also be deployed to Northeast Asia for offshore wind farm projects, aligning with Marco Polo Marine’s diversification strategy. With their addition, the Group’s offshore fleet will expand from 19 to 21 vessels.

CEO Sean Lee described the move as a milestone in the company’s fleet renewal strategy: “These vessels, expected to be completed in 2026, will enhance our ability to serve both traditional oil & gas operations and the rapidly growing offshore wind sector. We are confident this investment will strengthen our competitive edge and create long-term value for our stakeholders.”
