Swissco Holdings Limited (Swissco), a leading marine service provider for the shipping and offshore Oil and Gas industries, has made plans to expand its fleet of vessels with 2 additional crew boats which are expected to be delivered in the first half of 2014.
“ We are seeing heightened activity levels in the offshore marine sectors, particularly in the South East Asian countries as oil majors expand exploration and production programmes. We believe the demand is sustainable and have therefore negotiated with our preferred shipyard for the construction of more vessels. Together with our fleet expansion programme, we are striving to provide a comprehensive range of vessels for our customers, and to achieve a larger base of stable income ”, says Mr. Robert Chua, Executive Chairman of Swissco.
The Group has 14 vessels under construction for the vessel chartering segment, 7 of which will join in 2H 2013, and 6 in FY2014.
