en.Wedoany.com Reported - Malaysia's Perdana Petroleum Berhad, according to a stock exchange disclosure document, has signed a shipbuilding contract with China's Aulong Shipbuilding Co. Ltd. to construct two anchor handling tug supply vessels. Perdana Petroleum is a Kuala Lumpur-listed company providing offshore support services to the oil and gas industry.

Under the contract, each AHTS vessel will have a bollard pull of approximately 60 tons, with a total contract value of around $34 million. Perdana Petroleum stated that the vessel construction will be financed through a combination of internal funds and bank loans, with deliveries scheduled in batches during the third and fourth quarters of the 2028 fiscal year, primarily for the domestic and regional oil and gas markets.

Perdana Petroleum Managing Director Jamalludin Obeng noted that the construction of these two 60T AHTS vessels marks a significant milestone in the company's fleet renewal plan, as the group has not undertaken newbuilding since 2012. Against the backdrop of improving market conditions, the shipowner believes that now is an appropriate time to modernize and gradually renew the fleet, ensuring continued support for future operational needs, enhancing competitiveness, and sustaining long-term business growth.
