Swire Pacific Offshore

Swire Pacific Offshore (SPO) is a trusted name in the offshore marine industry.  Established in 1975, the company has built a reputation as a leading service provider to the offshore oil and gas industry, with a network that spans the globe.

Swire Pacific Offshore owns and operates more than 75 offshore support vessels, and will have a fleet size of more than 100 vessels by the end of 2015.  SPO’s fleet is modern, with an average age of 10 years, and a large proportion of the fleet is equipped with dynamic positioning systems (DP1 or DP2).  The fleet includes a mix of Anchor Handling Tug Supply (AHTS) vessels, Platform Supply Vessels (PSV), Ice-breaking Supply Vessels (IBSV), Anchor Handling Tugs (AHT), and Seismic Survey Vessels.  Additionally, during 2012, SPO has taken delivery of one wind-farm installation vessel, with a further unit to be delivered this year, and an accommodation barge, with a further unit to be delivered this year. The company has also acquired Swire Seabed, including two multipurpose subsea vessels, and a majority stake in Altus Logistics during 2012. SPO is therefore fully equipped to support a wide range of offshore activities, including drilling, production, exploration, pipe-lay, subsea construction and FPSO operations.  SPO and its subsidiaries are also able to cater to seismic, salvage, environmental requirements as well as wind-farm installation and support.

With a strong emphasis on operational excellence and a proactive attitude towards Health, Safety and the Environment (HSE), SPO places great importance on providing reliability for its partners through quality service. The establishment of a dedicated marine training centre in 2007 with a state-of-the-art simulator has reinforced this commitment to high standards, even under challenging conditions in harsh operating environments.  The simulator underwent a multi-million dollar upgrade in 2011 so that our sea-farers can train on the latest generation of vessels even before they have left the shipyard.

Headquartered in Singapore, SPO and its subsidiaries have regional offices in Angola, Australia, Brazil, Brunei, Cameroon, Denmark, Equatorial Guinea, Ghana, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, New Zealand, Norway, Qatar, Philippines, Russia, Scotland and the United Arab Emirates, and operates vessels in every major oil exploration region outside of North America.
