Seagull

What Seagull does

Seagull Pte Ltd is a Singapore-headquartered marine and fabrication services specialist founded in 2003, delivering ship repair, voyage repair via riding crews, offshore EPCIC, subsea equipment manufacturing, and precision CNC machining to global maritime, offshore oil & gas, and offshore wind clients. Its technical backbone is a 220,000 sqft integrated yard in Tuas, Singapore — including a 16,000 sqft in-house machine shop equipped with a CNC 5-Axis Double Column Milling Machine (NF-3223AC), heavy-duty CNC turning centres, automated machining, and a blasting and painting chamber — supported by class-approved welders certified in Duplex Steel Avesta, SUS 304, SUS 316L, High Tensile, and Hardox, all carrying seaman books to enable in-voyage steel renewal. The company has built a five-country yard network (Singapore HQ, Malaysia, UAE, India, Indonesia) with a 162,000 sqft UAE facility inaugurated in Hamriyah Free Zone in November 2024 and a 118,000 sqft Malaysia yard opened in Tanjung Langsat in August 2024.

The business operates a project-based professional services and managed services model — quote-driven per engagement with multi-year contracts and an average customer tenure of 10 years — selling directly through its own yards with no third-party channel. Revenue streams span ship repair services, offshore structure EPCIC, subsea hardware manufacturing, CNC machining services, and voyage repair riding crew deployment, with a nascent digital layer added via a joint predictive maintenance solution with I-care. Customers are enterprise-grade maritime operators and offshore contractors including Jumbo Maritime, Boskalis, Saipem, DEME Group, OSM Thome, and Hafnia. The company is privately held and founder-led by M S Maniam Babu (CEO), with no disclosed external funding or institutional shareholders, and recent capital has been reinvested organically into multi-country yard expansion, sustainability infrastructure (1.2 MW rooftop solar at Tuas, January 2025), and a forward-looking partnership with Norwegian autonomous electric shuttle maker Hyke (June 2025) to enter the clean-tech vessel market.

Core offering

Seagull provides one-stop marine and fabrication services through a network of international yards, delivering ship repairs (at anchorage and OPL worldwide), 24/7 mobilisable riding crews for voyage repairs, end-to-end offshore EPCIC structure fabrication and installation, precision subsea equipment manufacturing, and high-performance CNC machining. The Singapore Tuas headquarters anchors an integrated platform combining in-house welding, fabrication, coating, and digital maritime services in partnership with I-care.

Product overview

Seagull operates a portfolio of five core marine and fabrication services — Ship Repairs, Riding Crews, Offshore Structure Fabrication & Installation, Subsea Equipment Manufacturing, and CNC Machining — delivered through an integrated EPCIC yard platform rather than a single unified product. The Singapore Tuas headquarters (including the 16,000 sqft CNC machine shop) and an expanding international yard network (Malaysia, UAE, India, Indonesia) serve as the operational backbone, while Digital Maritime Services (a joint solution with I-care applying predictive maintenance technology) layers a digital offering on top of the traditional marine services. Together these offerings let Seagull deliver end-to-end ship repair, voyage repair, offshore EPCIC, subsea fabrication, precision CNC machining, and digitally enabled condition-based support for global maritime clients.

Direct peers

• Vallianz Holdings: Singapore-based offshore marine services company providing specialised vessel solutions, ship repair, and offshore support. Comparable to Seagull on riding-crew-style marine services, offshore fabrication, and customer base among regional offshore operators.
• Seatrium: Singapore-listed integrated offshore and marine solutions provider formed from the merger of Sembcorp Marine and Keppel Offshore & Marine. Competes directly with Seagull in ship repair, offshore fabrication, and EPCIC for oil & gas and renewables customers across Southeast Asia.
• PaxOcean: Singapore-based shipyard group operating yards for shipbuilding, ship repair, and offshore fabrication. Directly comparable to Seagull on ship repair services, offshore EPCIC work, and regional yard coverage in Southeast Asia.
• Sentek Marine & Offshore: Singapore-based ship repair, marine engineering, and offshore services provider operating in Tuas. Direct competitor to Seagull on voyage repairs, riding crew services, steel renewal, and offshore fabrication for tankers and offshore support vessels.

Broad incumbents

• Subsea 7: London-listed global subsea engineering, construction, and services company. Comparable to Seagull on subsea equipment fabrication and offshore installation work for major oil & gas and renewables clients, though Subsea 7 operates at far greater scale and project complexity.
• SBM Offshore: Amsterdam-listed global provider of floating production solutions and offshore services. Comparable to Seagull on offshore EPCIC delivery for upstream energy customers, though operating at significantly larger scale and from a different segment focus (FPSOs rather than ship repair).
• Damen Shiprepair & Conversion: Netherlands-headquartered global ship repair and shipbuilding group operating a network of yards worldwide. Overlaps with Seagull on ship repair services, voyage repair capability, and offshore vessel support, but at substantially larger scale and broader service portfolio.

Regional players

• Drydocks World: Dubai-based ship repair, conversion, and offshore fabrication yard in the same Hamriyah/UAE maritime corridor where Seagull operates its new 162,000 sqft yard. Comparable on large-scale ship repair, offshore EPCIC, and Middle East customer access.
• Mermaid Maritime: Thailand-based offshore services provider offering subsea engineering, diving, ROV, and offshore vessel support across Southeast Asia. Comparable to Seagull on offshore/subsea services and Asia-Pacific client overlap, though more focused on vessel-based subsea intervention than yard fabrication.
• ASRY (Arab Shipbuilding & Repair Yard): Bahrain-based ship repair and shipbuilding yard serving the Middle East Gulf region. Comparable to Seagull on ship repair, hull and mechanical work, and offshore fabrication, with overlapping UAE/Middle East client base for vessels calling at Gulf ports.
