this is where i have been working ...



... for the last one week and until to the mid december this year.

yeah, i'm in down south of Peninsular Malaysia due to work commitment. Due of this, i have to cancel some of the wedding engagements . Terribly sorry to my prospective clients. This is something that i cant help. I have three mouths to feed and i need to keep priority right at this moment.

Anyway, insyaAllah by mid of next month i'll be back in KL.

By the way, something abt my working place now. The company (subsidiary) was acquired by my current company (holding company) and my company has become the major share holder. This subsidiary company is one of the biggest marine repair business in the region. It carries out :

1) repairs (such as vessel repair, drydocking, refitting and refurbishment from aframaxes (>100 Dead Weight Tonne), panamaxes (>70 DWT), ULCCs - ultra large crude carriers (400 DWT) , VLCCs - very large crude carriers (250-300DWT), petroleum tankers, chemical tankers, oil rigs, gas carriers, and other offshore support vessels. Even Sembawang ship repair in Spore could not even come close when it comes to marine repair. This subsidiary even have afacility to lift the vessel to the dry land. This is called shiplifting. There are only 5 cranes in the world that can do shiplifting and this company has one.

2) it also carries out marine conversion to FPSO (floating, production, storage and offloading) or FSO (floating, storage and offloading) of crude oil. It also carries out jumboisation works, such as length and breadth extension.

3) other business is engineering and construction such as fabrication, building and upgrading of deepwater vessels, drilling platforms and other oil and gas facilities for mostly national petroleum company and foreign oil compannies.

I made a brief yard visit a few days ago and i was flabbergasted with the huge size of the vessel. The photo below is a crude tanker oil ARMATA bound for ship repair. The size is really really huge.

2) For Container carriers there are classify based on their TEUs (twenty equivalent units or container) - They use names such as Bunga Delima, BUnga Pelangi, Bunga Teratai, Bunga Mas (Lima - 12) etc etc. Most of them were sold off already.
3) Chemical tankers - there are Melati Class, Anggerik Class, Semarak Class and Melawis Class - such as Bunga Melati (Satu - Tujuh) and etc.
4) For Petroleum tankers they have VLCC, Aframax, Produc Tankers and LPG. They use names like Bunga Kelana series, Bunga Kerayong, Bunga Kemiri and also Eagle series (from American Eagle Tankers (AET) company) - such as Eagle Milwaukee, Eagle Baltimore, Eagle Phoenix etc etc)
