Penguin Shipyard International

Penguin Shipyard International is an established builder of high-speed aluminium workboats, with close to 100 vessels in our portfolio of successfully completed projects.

At our own fully equipped modern shipyards in Singapore and Batam, we undertake a variety of newbuilding and repair projects. Our facilities include:

• a 12,000-sqm shipyard in Singapore with a 500-metric ton straddle carrier and a 50m (L) x 50m (W) x 20m (H) covered workshop with 2 x 12.5-ton overhead cranes;
• a 50,000-sqm shipyard in Batam (45 minutes ferry ride from Singapore) with a 250-metric ton straddle carrier, a 100m (L) x 40m (W) x 25m (H) covered workshop with 2 x 20-ton overhead cranes and a 66m (L) x 21m (W) x 10m (H) covered workshop with a 5-ton overhead crane.

Our flagship product is our proprietary Flex series of multi-role crewboats – starting with the original Flex-36 in 2006 – which has since set the standard for mid-sized crewboats in the offshore oil and gas industry. And with a build cycle of less than six months, from keel lay to end of commissioning, we are also the world’s fastest builder of crewboats.

In 2012, we introduced two all-new Flex model types: Flex-38, the world’s most fuel-efficient crewboat with mechanical controlled engines, and Flex-38S, the world’s fastest crewboat with mechanical controlled engines. The new Flex-38 and Flex-38S – whose standard configuration offers 90 reclinable passenger seats, an 80 sqm clear deck area for 55 tons of cargo and 65,000 litres of fuel capacity – have replaced the Flex-36 in our evergreen production series.

Like the Flex-36, the new Flex-38 and Flex-38S are designed for a variety of “flexible” roles, including crew and cargo transfer, anti-piracy, security escort, fire-fighting, oil spill response, medivac and safety standby. Owner-specified options include ballistic protection, gun mounts and racks, extra cabins, a dedicated hospital room, active interceptors and comfort features such as business class seats and a passenger lounge.

In 2013, we will deliver our 50th Flex crewboat and roll out two new Flex model types: the Flex-25 ultimate compact crewboat and the Flex-50 DP1 fit-for-purpose FSIV.
