Maritime Developments Ltd (MDL) has secured a significant subsea installation contract in the Asia-Pacific region, involving the laying of two subsea cables and two umbilicals.
The project, which will take place at water depths of between 800 and 1,200 metres, reinforces MDL’s growing footprint across the region.
The 60-day offshore campaign is scheduled to mobilise from Singapore in 2026, with MDL providing a complete flex-lay spread for the operation. This will include one of the company’s renowned Horizontal Lay Systems (HLS) - a compact, integrated package that has delivered proven results on both installation and decommissioning projects worldwide. The spread will also feature MDL’s high-capacity four-track tensioner and its flagship Reel Drive System (RDS), ensuring precision and reliability throughout the installation.
As part of its long-term strategy to support clients in the Asia-Pacific market, MDL recently opened a new regional office in Singapore. The hub will serve as a base for operations, project delivery, and client engagement across the Eastern Hemisphere.
The Singapore office is led by Bernice Tan, MDL’s Regional Manager for APAC, who brings more than 15 years of experience in the Asian energy sector, covering business development, commercial management, and supply chain operations.
“With years of experience promoting flex-lay equipment and services in the region, I’m thrilled to join MDL - a company that truly shares my values,” said Tan. “This expansion marks an important step in strengthening MDL’s ability to support clients globally. With our equipment now based in Singapore, we can deliver faster, more efficient, and localised service across Asia-Pacific.”
Tan added that her priority will be to work closely with long-standing and new clients as MDL continues to deliver world-class subsea engineering solutions to one of the world’s most dynamic offshore markets.
This contract highlights MDL’s commitment to providing innovative, cost-effective subsea solutions and underlines its ambition to be a leading provider of offshore installation services throughout the Asia-Pacific region.
