INTRODUCTION TO OCS
OFFSHORE CONSTRUCTION SPECIALISTS (OCS) INTRODUCTION
Our services are equally compatible with offshore renewable wind power facilities as they are with oil and gas installations.
To complement our Operational and Field Engineering staff OCS has built up a mature Design and Construction Support Engineering group equipped with the latest industry software to provide engineering analysis required for marine structure and pipeline design, transportation studies, pipeline and cable lay, pile drivability, mooring analyses, engineered lifts, jacket launch, float and upend, topside float-over installation and a range of other applications.
Using experienced construction management, engineering and technical personnel OCS has developed and operates a comprehensive suite of strategic marine construction equipment. Theequipment is comprehensive and covers key activities such as platform and pipeline decommissioning, pipeline pre-commissioning, pipeline free span corrections, pipeline pre and post trenching, pile remediation etc. This equipment can be deployed from our UB-01 “Miss Pennie” or on a stand along basis from 3rd party equipment.
The OCS conceived, designed, constructed and operated Utility barge “Miss Pennie” provides pre-trenching, post trenching and bespoke marine construction solutions for marine projects. Vessel operations are complemented where required by other OCS key support equipment.
In 2013 the company assisted the Indonesian EPIC Contractor PT Timas Suplindo to acquire the Derrick Pipelay Barge DLB 01 from McDermott and OCS now operates the vessel on behalf of Timas executing a wide range of marine projects. The vessel is equipped with a 12 point mooring, 900 ton revolving Derrick tub crane and full pipelay capability. Timas has more recently acquired the dynamically positioned combination Derrick Pipelay vessel T-1201 which is also managed by OCS on Timas behalf.
OCS fully owned office and workshop complex is located at 36 Kian Teck Rd, Singapore. Additional facilities are located in Batam, Indonesia and Bangalore, India. The Company is certified to ISO 9001 and by NATA (Australia) and Singlas (Singapore).

The workshop is equipped with machining facilities and is used for the maintenance of OCS Equipment and for the construction of specialised equipment packages leveraged by our onsite Construction management and engineering. The facility had been continually improved and is now a centre of excellence and critical hub for the support of OCS various business lines.
OCS has constructed a small utility barge UB01”Miss Pennie” specifically designed for the support of pre-trenching, small pipelay post trenching and miscellaneous nearshore and shallow water projects. The barge is attended by a multicar AHT, diving, survey and other critical equipment and is fully owned and operated by OCS. The vessel is available for charter or for lump sum contract services.
