BOMC and Subsea7 forge exclusive long-term partnership for the Spoolbase in Bintan.
Bintan Offshore Marine Centre (BOMC) is proud to announce the signing of an exclusive long-term agreement with Subsea7 for the continued operations of the BOMC Spoolbase in Bintan.
Since commencing operations in 2020, the BOMC Spoolbase in Bintan has rapidly established itself as a regional leader in offshore pipeline fabrication. The inaugural project, Julimar Phase 2, marked a significant industry milestone with the successful production of 18-inch insulated CRA pipe—an industry first. Since then, the facility has delivered over 103 km of reeled pipeline across three major projects, all safely installed in Australian waters by Subsea7’s Seven Oceans vessel.
Purpose-built in collaboration with Subsea7’s Pipeline Group, the Bintan Spoolbase integrates over four decades of global pipelay expertise. The facility is equipped to handle a wide range of complex pipeline specifications, including CRA pipe, MetClad, and Mechanically Lined Pipe, using advanced, fit-for-purpose technologies tailored to each project’s unique requirements.
As the only permanent spoolbase in the Asia Pacific region, BOMC Bintan plays a critical role in supporting Subsea7’s offshore installation capabilities via the reeling method. This approach ensures high-quality pipe preparation in a controlled onshore environment, ahead of offshore operations, significantly reducing offshore time, operational risk, and overall project costs—while enhancing safety and delivery standards.
Strategically located with direct access to a deepwater port and expansive laydown areas, the facility is ideally positioned to serve key offshore markets across Indonesia, Malaysia, and Brunei. With a proven track record in Australia, the Spoolbase is now poised to support the growing demand for subsea tie-back developments throughout the region.
Chris Ratajczak, Subsea7 VP Asia Pacific said: "We are proud to continue our partnership with BOMC. Over the course of three successful projects, we’ve developed a highly effective way of working together, leveraging our respective strengths. This agreement reinforces our commitment to delivering innovative, efficient subsea solutions and strengthens Subsea7’s position in the Asia Pacific region."
Michael Sousa, BOMC Chairman, said: “In a short period of time, BOMC has proudly established a strong reputation and market leading position for its state-of-the-art facilities and world class safety and quality systems. We are delighted Subsea7 has chosen to extend our partnership and we look forward to continuing to support them in the development of further high quality reeled pipelay scopes for safe installation and operation.”
