MMHE aims at offshore market

Malaysia Marine and Heavy Engineering (MMHE), formerly known as Malaysia Shipyard Engineering (MSE), is set to become Malaysia?s deep-water hub. MMHE will be focusing on expanding its marine and heavy engineering business and plans to build and upgrade deep-water and marine repair facilities. The transformation is taking place via tie-ups with three industry leaders, i.e. Single Buoy Moorings Inc for Kikeh FPSO, Technip Marine Sdn Bhd for fabrication of spar platforms, and Bergesen Worldwide Ltd for LPG-FPSOs, and will involve upgrading MMHE?s design and engineering capabilities.

Technip Marine, through its associated company, Technip Geoproduction, has awarded two contracts for fabrication of the Spar floating production platform hull and topsides under the Murphy Kikeh deep-water oilfield development to MMHE in March.
