We offer trusted marine advisory services led by Master Mariners with over 15 years of experience navigating Singapore’s busy waters. While pilotage in the Straits of Malacca isn’t mandatory, it’s strongly recommended—especially for deep-draught vessels and VLCCs—due to high traffic and navigational risks.
Our pilots provide critical local expertise to ensure a safer, smoother passage.
Our pilots are highly trained, fully certified professionals with over 15 years of experience—10 of those as Class A1 Pilots operating in the demanding waters of Singapore.
Collectively, we have piloted more than 10,000 vessels of all types and sizes, including VLCCs, mega container ships, large LNG/LPG carriers, and FPSOs. We specialize in navigating narrow channels and fairways with minimal under keel clearance, following all local regulations.
Each pilot is a qualified Master Mariner with international sea-going command experience. We are trained in crisis management and known for our strong, cooperative relationships with Masters and bridge teams, ensuring safe and efficient transits through the Straits of Malacca and Singapore.
With in-depth knowledge of local traffic patterns and challenges—including tug and tow operations—we bring added value to your bridge team. We carry our own ENC charts and GPS equipment, and our presence is especially beneficial during storing operations off Singapore.

Amid the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, our team demonstrated exceptional adaptability and resilience.

We secured approvals from Malaysian authorities to operate dedicated transport services, ensuring our Marine Advisors were fully equipped with PPE and prioritized for vaccinations — all while upholding the highest safety and service standards.
We were likely among the very few companies that remained operational during the height of the pandemic, a testament to our commitment, resourcefulness, and unwavering dedication to our clients.
