Singapore’s POSH Adds New Anchor Handling Towing Vessel to Fleet

Singapore’s offshore marine solutions company PACC Offshore Services Holdings (POSH) has recently expanded its fleet with the addition of a new anchor handling towing (AHT) vessel, POSH Courage.

Designed for demanding global offshore infrastructure projects, the vessel is equipped with a dynamic positioning class 2 (DP2) system and boasts an impressive bollard pull of 203 tonnes. The company believes that this addition will enhance its capability to undertake larger and concurrent towages.

POSH Courage has joined the company’s C-series fleet of AHTS vessels, specifically designed for deepwater and intercontinental towage, mooring, and hook-up operations. It is also well-suited for the long-distance transport of floating production, storage, and offloading (FPSO) units.

“POSH Courage represents more than just fleet expansion. It enhances our ability to deliver timely, reliable, and efficient offshore project solutions globally,” said Eric Ng, Head of Offshore Projects at POSH. “With more vessels in play, we are well-positioned to support multiple projects simultaneously and meet the growing demands of the offshore energy industry.”

With the addition of AHTS to its 45-strong fleet, POSH aims to offer greater scheduling flexibility and operational scalability for its clients, enabling them to execute complex marine projects worldwide.

In a recent feat, POSH assisted in towing the FPSO Agogo from China to Angola, covering a distance of over 10,000 nautical miles. The massive unit, measuring approximately 330 meters in length and weighing over 300,000 metric tonnes, was towed with the help of three AHTs: POSH Eagle, POSH Hawk, and POSH Osprey.
