Fueled by its vast maritime commerce, Singapore is considered a dominant force in APAC’s ship repair and maintenance industry, which has been burgeoning significantly over recent years. In fact, according to an analysis by Future Market Insights, the Singapore industry alone is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9.2 percent over the next decade. Many studies also link this transformation to the introduction of automated and green technologies that make ships more efficient and eco-friendly.
The development, however, has necessitated the ship maintenance service companies to move beyond rendering point solutions to providing advanced and comprehensive services to stand out from the rest as well as enable convenience for the customers. Presiding at the forefront of such a transition, Poh Sin Marine Engineering Pte Ltd serves as an ideal one-stop-service provider in the industry, owing to its safe and sustainable engineering.
Poh Sin Marine Engineering was founded in 2018 as an extended arm of Poh Sin Group, a 35-year-old industry pioneer. Started as just a retailer of marine hardware, lubricants, and auto-machinery spares, the group has emerged as a premier ship repair and steel fabrication service provider. Adding to the efficiency, Poh Sin Marine Engineering is dedicated to leveraging a complete range of offshore and voyage repair solutions, including retrofitting, conversions, and upgrades to cater to vessel-related needs. The service portfolio ranges from broad niches like ship name painting and load line marking to mechanical and steel repairs to the prefabrication and installation of Ballast Water Treatment System (BWTS) pipe lines.
The Service Strategies
According to Poh Sin Marine Engineering, the rationale behind the impeccable record of excellence lies in its workmanship, which is reflected in its client portfolios and the strong bond with the clients.
With innovation and quality at the helm of its operations, the company is driven by a well-qualified and expert team of engineers and technicians, who are considered the company’s greatest assets and share the flair for leveraging the best ship repair performance and enhanced customer experience. To enable the same, the team strives to analyze the client’s needs deeply through various sessions, aimed at realigning expectations, fine-tuning projects, and offering a customized solution. The next steps of the project revolve around planning, scheduling, allocation, execution, and delivery. In addition, the company also offers post-project support through evaluation and reviews, which don the role of driving engines. “This assessment helps identify areas of improvement, gather client feedback on the overall experience, and address any remaining concerns to refine their processes and enhance future client engagements”, explains Venkata Ramana S, Managing Director, Poh Sin Group.
The expert team at Poh Sin Marine Engineering ensures that the entire installation or repair process is meticulously planned and designed for a safer and effective deployment. Its BWTS installation procedure exemplifies the same, wherein even pre-engineering factors are considered. Before installation, the personnel select and prepare a suitable site by clearing vegetation and removing other obstacles, thereby creating a stable foundation for the pipeline and equipment. Using only durable and corrosion-resistant materials that support the system and the environment, the team evaluates the routing and installs the pipeline after careful analysis of possible hazards. The installation is further followed by regular quality control checks, integrity verification, and inspections to mitigate the risks of malfunctions and pipe erosion.
Safety & Beyond
For Poh Sin Marine Engineering, safety and environmental protection are of paramount importance, and it is this emphasis that has propelled the company to outcompete others. The company has instilled multiple safety rules and protocols, not just in installation and maintenance but also in buying the required materials. While it is equipped with ISO, CE, and other certifications, the company also makes sure that vendors and their products meet the technical criteria, international industry guidelines, and environmental safety standards. The teams are thoroughly trained in safety codes like the use of personal protective gear and equipment handling to limit the risks of occupational hazards and accidents. “Collaborations with reputable suppliers, manufacturers, and other industry stakeholders enhance our company’s ability to source quality spare parts, access specialized expertise, and further offer integrated solutions”, adds Venkata Ramana.
With such a positive approach to service delivery, Poh Sin Marine Engineering wishes to continue the legacy and seeks to expand its geographical presence. Headquartered in Singapore, the venture possesses a strong foothold in Singapore PSA, in & out-port anchorages, and Port Klang. The company is looking forward to foraying into the Port of Tanjung Pelepas and Pasir Gudang in Malaysia and is currently in the process of working collectively with its partners and its team to ensure and adhere to statutory compliance and legal requirements.
