ST Engineering Secures Landmark Contract for Advanced Walk-to-Work Vessel

Singapore, 13 January 2025 – ST Engineering has secured a shipbuilding contract for the design and construction of a Walk-to-Work (W2W) vessel for a leading oil and gas company. This marks its expansion into the market for specialised vessels supporting offshore operations. The W2W vessel is purpose-built to ensure the safe transfer of personnel and essential goods for the customer’s offshore installations.

Mr Tan Leong Peng, President, Marine, ST Engineering, said, “Building a W2W vessel demands specialised expertise in marine engineering, advanced systems integration and dynamic positioning – areas where we excel. Being selected after a rigorous evaluation process is a testament to our expertise, dedication to quality and compliance with global standards.”

The W2W vessel will be 97 metres in length and able to accommodate 106 persons. It will feature an advanced motion-compensated gangway to ensure safe personnel transfers in varying sea conditions, and a 10-ton crane with active heave compensation for more effective load handling in rough seas. 

The W2W vessel is expected to be completed by 1H2027. To date, ST Engineering has delivered a wide range of vessels from patrol vessels for navies to superyachts for private clients, as well as specialised vessels for offshore wind and oil & gas operations.
