Austen Maritime Services has supported the dry dock for the Woodside-operated Okha FPSO, providing a range of agency and in-country services over a four-week period from arrival until sail away.

Austen’s support on the project included crew change, tank-cleaning, bunker services, transport, materials and inspection services procurement.

Austen also supported the project with supply of local labour for the site team & personnel management services.

The project reflects Austen’s role in supporting complex marine operations through a combination of agency services and wider in-country support.

This is consistent with Austen’s established service offering across marine projects, ship agency and associated workforce support in the region.

Roslee Kamis, Regional Operations Manager, Austen Maritime Services, said: “This project called on a broad range of Austen’s agency and in-country support services over a four-week period.

“Our team worked closely with the client and local partners to coordinate practical support across crew changes, tank-cleaning, bunker services, accommodation, transport, materials and inspection requirements.

“We are grateful for the cooperation shown throughout the project and for the opportunity to support its completion.”

Austen also has a broader track record in FPSO-related support.
