Inchcape Shipping Services opens new office in Brunei, strengthening support for offshore, naval and logistics operations
Inchcape Shipping Services has opened a new office in Brunei Darussalam, strengthening its local presence in a strategically important market for offshore, naval and logistics operations in Southeast Asia.
Brunei presents a key berthing and operational environment for naval vessels. The country also has a long established offshore and oil and gas tanker sector, underpinned by sustained activity linked to BSP and BSM operations.
The newly established Inchcape Shipping Services Brunei office will initially focus on supporting the offshore market, oil and gas tanker segment, navy related activities, and integrated logistics support services. Inchcape has also recently been appointed as the authorised Ship to Ship agency in Brunei by MPABD, further strengthening its local operational capabilities.
Alongside core port agency services, Inchcape Shipping Services Brunei has established strategic partnerships with local vendors and service providers. This enables the delivery of a broader logistics offering, including ambient storage facilities, transportation services, fabrication yards for offshore equipment, private jetty access for offshore vessel loading operations, and minor spares supply and repair support where required.
The Brunei office is jointly supported by Inchcape’s Malaysia and Brunei teams, providing customers with coordinated regional expertise and strong local oversight. This structure ensures consistent service delivery across Brunei’s major shipping and industrial hubs, with efficient vessel turnaround and seamless coordination across all vessel segments.
Timothy Mpothraju, General Manager for Inchcape Shipping Services Brunei, said: “The opening of our Brunei office marks an important step in strengthening our support for customers operating in this market. With strong local partnerships and regional backing from our Malaysia team, we are well positioned to support offshore, tanker, naval and logistics operations safely, efficiently and in full compliance with local requirements.”
