Malaysia Marine and Heavy Engineering (MMHE) obtained a contract from Shell in Malaysia for the Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) services of the offshore platform for the Rosmari-Marjoram gas project that it develops together with its partner Petronas Carigali.

This unmanned platform will be powered primarily by renewable energy, specifically solar panels. Designed with a useful life of 20 years, it will supply up to 800 million standard cubic feet of gas per day. It is expected to come online in 2026, supplying natural gas to the Petronas LNG complex in Bintulu, Sarawak.

Pandai Othman, Managing Director and CEO of MHB, a parent company of MMHE, confirmed that they are excited to spearhead the project, adding: “In addition to our ultimate goal of delivering this project in a safe and timely manner, we are pleased to say that this project is aligned with our commitment to provide cleaner energy solutions. By using renewable energy to power the platform.”

The platform will consist of a top, a 4-leg deck, and pilings. Once completed, the platform will be installed at a depth of 140 meters within the SK318 area, off the coast of Bintulu, Sarawak, Malaysia.
