The agreement, signed yesterday at the Ministry of Finance and Economy in Brunei by our Group CEO Lee Hanlon, Qaswa Holdings, Dongil Shipyard Co, The Minister of Finance and Economy, BEDB, and Brunei Shell Petroleum will see the creation of a 16-acre integrated yard which will serve as the anchor facility for the Brunei Darussalam Maritime Cluster once operational in 2024.

We look forward to working with our partners to deliver safe, efficient, and cost effective decommissioning, dismantlement and recycling operations in Brunei and the wider region’.
