RMS Synergy

What RMS Synergy does

RMS Synergy Sdn. Bhd. is a private Malaysian company founded in 2010 that provides marine support and construction services to the offshore oil and gas industry. Headquartered in Shah Alam, Selangor, the company operates across Malaysia and has strategic relationships that extend its footprint into Vietnam and Singapore. Its stated mission is to be a premier marine transportation provider delivering safe, efficient, and reliable offshore solutions to enterprise clients in the upstream energy value chain.

The company's core offering is vessel chartering, executed through a fleet of five Anchor Handling Tug Supply (AHTS) and offshore support vessels: HD WIRA (5,150 BHP, 60T bollard pull, built 2011), HD PAHLAWAN (14,804 BHP, 181T bollard pull, built 2007), KAZO JAX (5,150 BHP, 65T bollard pull, built 2010), KAZO CEKAP (built 2013, Sibu, Malaysia), and HD PERMATA (13,872 BHP, 181 MT bollard pull, built 2009, Norway, DNV class). Beyond chartering, RMS Synergy operates six service lines — Oil & Gas Solution, Civil Construction (with a 15+ year in-house team), Offshore Consumables, Offshore Catering, and Offshore IT Solution (VSAT, compact apparatus, computers, and rig hardware/software). The company holds Petronas Approval and CIDB Malaysia registration, and it is positioning to serve renewable-energy offshore projects alongside its legacy oil and gas base.

Revenue is generated through a sales-led B2B model with quote-based, project-tied pricing against enterprise clients in the oil and gas vertical — explicitly including Dayang and International Petroleum Corp, plus other operators whose logos appear on the company's client roster. Distribution is direct via enterprise field sales, supplemented by an organic presence on LinkedIn and Facebook, a corporate website with news and CSR content, and CSR programs targeting orphanages, schools, and community foundations. A joint venture with HADUCO (Vietnam's largest OSV service provider) was formed in May 2023, following a prior 2018-2021 JV with a Singapore-listed partner — signaling an alliance-driven growth posture in a fragmented Southeast Asian OSV market.
