EOC Limited (`EOC` or `the Group`), one of Asia`s largest and most dynamic offshore construction & production
contractors, announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Emas Offshore Construction and Production Pte Ltd (`EOCP`) has successfully executed the offshore installation contract to install sub-sea facilities and
floating production mooring system in the Galoc Field located 65 km north-west of Palawan Island in the Philippines.
Said Mr Lim Kwee Keong, EOC`s CEO: `This achievement adds to EOC`s track record of successful offshore projects which require a high level of technical and project management capability. `
`The Galoc Field contract is particularly noteworthy because it involved the installation of over 1,200 tonnes of equipment on the seabed in a water depth of 290 metres whilst being dynamically positioned. We completed the project within schedule and without a single lost time incident. The success of the project is largely due to the shared goals and seamless cooperation at all levels between EOCP and GPC. ` added Mr Lim.
