Providing leading offshore services for clients worldwide, Vallianz Offshore Marine Pte Ltd offers a diverse fleet of vessels and a distinguished vertically integrated approach. CEO, Ling Yong Wah, and Chief Marketing Officer, Gavin Tan, delve deeper into the company’s unparalleled dedication to operational excellence.
ENGINEERED FOR TRANSFORMATIVE OFFSHORE SUCCESS
Following a surge in energy prices and oil and gas developments over the last five years, the offshore services sector in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region is a hive of renewed activity.
This influx of operations equally comes with its challenges, with major oil and gas organisations facing increasingly tight regulations and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) expectations.
Simultaneously, there is a notable shortage of support and assets from both local and international offshore support vessel (OSV) providers, whilst current geopolitical uncertainties and supply chain disruptions further complicate the operational environment.
Nevertheless, for companies such as Vallianz Offshore Marine Pte Ltd (Vallianz) – who has invested in digitalisation, fleet modernisation, and strong regional partnerships – this environment presents significant opportunities.
“These investments have enabled us to operate with agility and continue to deliver value to our clients across the region,” introduces Ling Yong Wah, CEO.
Backed by over 20 years of experience, Vallianz is a leading OSV provider of offshore marine solutions and a strong force in the global energy sector.
AN ARRAY OF OFFSHORE OPERATIONS
Headquartered at Labrador Tower in Singapore, Vallianz is a wholly owned subsidiary of Vallianz Holdings Limited – a publicly listed company on the Singapore Stock Exchange (SGX).
Vallianz, combined with its subsidiaries, joint ventures (JVs), and associates, owns and operates a diverse fleet of over 100 OSVs, ranging from anchor handling tugs, platform supply vessels, accommodation workboats, flat-top cargo barges, liftboats, and semi-submersible barges, primarily deployed across the Middle East and APAC regions.
Beyond vessel chartering, management, and brokering, Vallianz also provides project management, in-house engineering, shipbuilding, repair, and conversion capabilities through its shipyards in Batam, Indonesia, and other third-party yards.
“Currently, we are project managing 33 new buildings across eight shipyards in four countries, not including the four liftboats we delivered in 2024,” informs Gavin Tan, Chief Marketing Officer.
The company’s primary clients comprise major national oil companies, windfarm developers, and global engineering, procurement, installation, and commissioning (EPIC) contractors.
Over the last 20 years, Vallianz has also established a number of notable regional partners – such as Rawabi Holding in Saudi Arabia and Marineast Vallianz Offshore Co., Ltd (Marineast) in Thailand – and supported a wide range of projects spanning exploration, production, construction, renewables, and decommissioning.
The company’s workforce, meanwhile, is made up of several hundred dedicated professionals across its operational regions, including vessel operators, crew, shore support, and project teams.
POSSESSING A DIVERSE FLEET
Vallianz is distinguished from its competitors by its vertically integrated model, combining asset ownership, engineering, shipyard, and fabrication capabilities.
More from APAC Outlook
“Spanning two continents and serving major energy clients, we deliver complete end-to-end offshore marine solutions,” Ling expands.
Owning and operating its own fleet also gives Vallianz a distinct advantage and strategic edge in the OSV market, particularly for high-demand regions like the Middle East where reliability and responsiveness are critical.
“Fleet ownership enables us to achieve faster deployment and turnaround times, as well as greater flexibility in vessel allocation and scheduling. Operationally, this enhances key aspects such as safety, maintenance, and overall performance,” Tan details.
From a commercial standpoint, fleet ownership enables the company to offer more competitive pricing without compromising on service quality as it continuously invests in technology upgrades, such as electric fuel monitoring systems and digitally planned maintenance systems, which improve operational efficiency and sustainability.
At the same time, Vallianz has been able to retain high quality across all its vessels, extending their service life through proactive refurbishment, dry-docking, and retrofitting programmes.
“In essence, owning and operating our vessels gives us the strategic, operational, and financial flexibility to consistently serve our charterers more effectively, whilst also positioning Vallianz as a reliable, forward-thinking partner in the offshore marine industry,” Tan emphasises.

COMPREHENSIVE, CUTTING-EDGE SOLUTIONS
Vallianz’s comprehensive capabilities are exemplified by the company’s recent standout venture, the Rosmari Marjoram project in Malaysia.
Vallianz played a pivotal role in the operation, leveraging the jacket launching capabilities of Holmen Pacific, its submersible launch barge, and Vallianz Titan, an anchor handling vessel, to support the project’s jacket launch barge operations.
This was completed in collaboration with the company’s subsidiary, Pt. United Sindo Perkasa (PT USP), where the barge was prepared and configured for loadout conditions.
“This project was especially significant as it showcased Vallianz’s ability to deliver a comprehensive, end-to-end integrated service solution.
“By coordinating marine assets, shipyard support, and launch execution, we successfully met the client’s schedule and operational requirements, reinforcing our reputation as a reliable, full-service offshore partner,” Ling affirms.
Elsewhere, Vallianz has been part of a JV with Rawabi Vallianz Offshore Services Co., Ltd (RVOS) since 2013, supporting the company in its offshore oil and gas operations and infrastructure development.
RVOS is one of the largest offshore marine services and integrated marine solutions providers in the Gulf region.
As part of its fleet expansion programme, Vallianz has provided project management and in-house engineering services, delivering a variety of vessel types to RVOS specifically tailored to regional requirements.
“This JV has significantly strengthened our regional presence, particularly in the Middle East, and continues to be a cornerstone of our growth strategy,” Tan insights.
AT THE CORE OF SUCCESS
Behind each of Vallianz’s successful projects is a well-orchestrated supply chain, a key driver of the company’s operational excellence.
For projects involving complex setups, offshore installations, and tight schedules, Vallianz’s ability to seamlessly coordinate logistics, procurement, and vessel operations is vital.
Over the years, the company has built long-standing relationships with shipyards, equipment suppliers, and service providers across the region in order to achieve its comprehensive solutions.
“These collaborations go far beyond transactional exchanges; they are strategic partnerships rooted in trust, reliability, and a shared commitment to quality and safety.
“The expertise and responsiveness of our partners empowers us to deliver integrated, end-to-end solutions that consistently meet client expectations,” Tan shares.
Vallianz deeply values the contributions of these partners and suppliers, whose unwavering support has helped strengthen its reputation as a dependable and trusted operator, positioning the company to effectively take on the most demanding industry challenges.
Additionally, at the core of the company’s success is its staff base. Vallianz recognises its people are at the heart of everything it does and therefore makes an active effort to support and recognise their contributions.
“We empower our teams by giving them the right tools, training, and trust they need to excel in their jobs.
“This includes ongoing professional development opportunities to grow within the company and encouraging open communication between heads-of-department and staff to foster a culture where everyone’s voice matters,” Tan details.
Employee contributions are recognised in both formal and informal ways, as Vallianz ensures that it acknowledges good work when it sees it.
This involves regular feedback, team meetings, and company-wide updates, which also extend to vessel crew members in the field.
“Ultimately, our goal is to create an environment where people feel valued, supported, and part of a meaningful community.”
ELDERLY AND ENVIRONMENTAL CARE
Vallianz endeavours to uphold a strong ESG responsibility culture, driven by strategic partnerships, employee-driven programmes, and a commitment to uplifting communities through fostering inclusion, and promoting sustainability.
“By encouraging cross-department collaboration and integrating social impact into our operations, we empower our people to contribute meaningfully, both professionally and personally,” Ling impassions.
Vallianz has also been a dedicated partner of Care Corner Singapore (CCS) for over a decade, enriching the lives of elderly individuals through meaningful engagement and long-term support.
“Our annual Lunar New Year celebration in particular remains a cherished tradition, bringing together 500 seniors for a grand banquet filled with warmth and joy,” Tan remarks.
The company also remains deeply committed to CCS’s hot meals programme, ensuring that elderly communities receive nutritious meals every day. This initiative not only provides sustenance but also enhances seniors’ overall well-being and quality of life.
“Our dedication to uplifting the elderly reflects our belief in fostering a compassionate and socially responsible community,” Ling notes.
Vallianz’s ESG efforts extend to initiatives focused on environmental conservation, education, and social inclusion.
For example, the company’s first beach cleanup at East Coast Park in Singapore was a major step in raising awareness about marine conservation and pollution reduction.
By actively participating in environmental preservation, Vallianz reaffirms its responsibility towards a more sustainable future.
Elsewhere, the company’s subsidiary, PT USP, launched the ‘Sharing is Caring’ CSR programme last year in collaboration with Yayasan Ashabul Yamin orphanage in Indonesia, reinforcing its dedication to education, engagement, and sustainability.
“This year-long initiative extended beyond material donations, focusing on quality, time, and holistic development. Volunteers conducted structured sessions covering lessons in English, arts, agriculture, sports, and cultural traditions, allowing children to learn and express themselves in meaningful ways,” Ling expands.
As Vallianz continues its ESG journey, its focus remains on expanding efforts to reach more seniors, students, and underprivileged families.
“True success is measured not only by business achievements, but also by the ability to uplift others,” he reflects.
“Our focus remains clear: to expand strategically, operate efficiently, deliver consistently high-value marine solutions to our clients, and position ourselves for sustained growth”

FORECAST FOR GROWTH
Continuing its upwards trajectory, Vallianz has a long-term growth strategy that will see the company expand into markets in Malaysia, Taiwan, and Thailand.
“These countries represent strategic gateways to Southeast and East Asia’s evolving offshore energy sectors, and present significant opportunities for fleet deployment and diversification,” Ling tells us.
Malaysia, specifically, remains a key market where the company has supported offshore oil and gas activities since its inception.
Operations in Thailand, meanwhile, represent a multitude of opportunities for Vallianz, particularly with the increasing number of offshore developments – most notably in the decommissioning sector.
Recognising the long-term potential of this market, the company has strategically invested in the Thai offshore sector through a JV with Marineast.
“This partnership enables us to gain firsthand insight into local market requirements, align our services with client expectations, and position ourselves effectively for the upcoming demand in marine support operations.
“The JV also reflects our commitment to building sustainable, locally anchored operations in high-growth regions,” Tan ends.
Elsewhere, Vallianz is a key player in supporting Taiwan’s offshore renewable sector. Indeed, the company has consistently provided reliable OSVs to the country, helping drive the growth of its offshore operations.
Beyond vessel deployment, PT USP has also delivered three specialist new-build vessels, with another to be delivered to Taiwanese clients later this year.
Once again, this demonstrates the company’s commitment to local partnerships and long-term value creation.
Vallianz is additionally actively growing its presence in the Middle East. With demand here expected to continue over the next three to five years, the company is well positioned to capture and meet the region’s evolving needs.
This ongoing expansion reflects Vallianz’s commitment to becoming a globally connected and regionally anchored OSV provider.
“By aligning our fleet deployment with high-growth offshore markets in Malaysia, Thailand, Taiwan, and the Middle East, we are reinforcing our ability to support both traditional and renewable energy sectors whilst, at the same time, building a more resilient, future-ready global fleet network,” Ling highlights.
As such, the company anticipates the continued growth of its vessel chartering activities in the second half of 2025, with more assets set to be committed to significant regional projects.
“Our focus remains clear: to expand strategically, operate efficiently, deliver consistently high-value marine solutions to our clients, and position ourselves for sustained growth,” he concludes.
