Sealink International Berhad

Sealink International Berhad is a Malaysian integrated offshore marine services company headquartered in Miri, Sarawak. Founded in 1974 by Mr. Yong Foh Choi, the business began in the timber industry, using landing crafts, tugs and barges to support regional logging and transport operations. In 1990 the company pivoted toward the offshore oil and gas sector, and in 1997 it formally established Sealink Shipyard Sdn Bhd as its shipbuilding arm. The yard delivered its first custom-built landing craft, "Sealink Victoria", in 1999, and in 2004 the group added Sealink Engineering and Slipway Sdn Bhd (SESSB) to expand its construction and repair capacity. Today Sealink describes itself as a leading integrated service provider in the offshore marine industry, with more than 20 years of experience building, owning and operating a diverse fleet of marine support vessels. Its core businesses are ship ownership and chartering, shipbuilding, maintenance and repair, and bollard pull services. The fleet primarily serves the global offshore oil and gas exploration and production sectors, and the company states that its operations span more than 20 countries. Sealink International Berhad was listed on the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia on 29 July 2008, a milestone the company highlights as strengthening transparency, accountability and access to investment for future expansion. The company is registered in Malaysia under registration number 200701042948 (800981-X), with its chartering division based at Lot 1035, Block 4, MCLD, Piasau Industrial Area, 98000 Miri, Sarawak. Its stated culture emphasizes quality and excellence, integrity, customer and employee focus, environmental responsibility and flexibility in business operations.

Sealink International Berhad traces its origins to 1974, when Mr. Yong Foh Choi founded the company in Malaysia. Its initial core business was in the timber industry, where it used landing crafts, tugs and barges to support regional operations. This gave the young company practical experience in vessel operation and logistics that would later underpin its move into offshore marine services. In 1990, recognizing shifts in the maritime economy, Sealink strategically pivoted its focus toward the offshore oil and gas industry. This transition aligned the company with the growing demand for marine support vessels serving offshore exploration and production. In 1997, the group formally established Sealink Shipyard Sdn Bhd as its dedicated shipbuilding arm, enabling it to design and construct customized vessels rather than relying solely on third-party builders. The shipyard reached a key operational milestone in 1999 with the delivery of its first new-build custom landing craft, named "Sealink Victoria", which established the group's credentials in vessel fabrication. In 2000, Sealink Shipyard joined the Malaysia Ship-owners Association (MASA) as an ordinary member, and in 2001 the company registered with the Department of Occupational Safety and Health on 16 October 2001, reflecting a growing emphasis on safety compliance. In 2004, the group expanded its industrial footprint with the establishment of Sealink Engineering and Slipway Sdn Bhd (SESSB), adding advanced yard construction capacity. On 29 July 2008, Sealink International Berhad was officially listed on the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia. The company describes this listing as a significant milestone in its growth trajectory, underscoring its commitment to transparency and accountability and enhancing its ability to attract investment for future expansions. Over the following years, Sealink continued to build, own and operate a diverse fleet of marine support vessels. Its operations now span more than 20 countries, serving the global offshore oil and gas exploration and production sectors. The company operates as an integrated provider across ship ownership and chartering, shipbuilding, maintenance and repair, and bollard pull services, with a state-of-the-art bollard pull facility in Sipitang (as referenced on its website). Its chartering division is based in the Piasau Industrial Area of Miri, Sarawak.
