KUALA TERENGGANU, Sept 11 (Bernama) -- Epic Bhd’s subsidiary, Eastern Pacific Marine Services Sdn Bhd (EPMSSB), has signed a Master Service Agreement (MSA) with Velesto Energy Bhd’s (Velesto) unit, Velesto Drilling Sdn Bhd for the supply of marine support services.

Epic’s group chief executive officer Dr Muhtar Suhaili said the MSA, signed during the recent Oil and Gas Asia (OGA) 2025 exhibition, encompasses vessel mooring, temporary layup and port facilities, alongside marine support services at the Kemaman Port.

“Through the MSA, EPMSSB and Velesto will create a framework that will be the basis to ongoing collaboration in supporting offshore operations and related activities at Kemaman Port.

“This partnership reflects confidence in the company’s capabilities and commitment to meeting industry needs by delivering efficient and reliable marine and port services,” he said in a statement today.

Mukhtar noted that the MSA not only sets a clear framework for offshore support cooperation but also strengthens Kemaman Port’s position as a key hub in the oil and gas (O&G) sector.

At the signing ceremony, EPMSSB was represented by its general manager of Port Management and Marine Services, Captain Mohd Kamarul Mamat, while Velesto was represented by its senior vice-president of Drilling Business, Abdul Hadi Abdul Bari.

According to Muhtar, the group is looking forward to working closely with Velesto to ensure service delivery that is aligned with industry benchmarks and standards.

He said with the MSA and other ongoing contracts, EPMSSB is on the right track to strengthen its role in driving the O&G, and maritime industries, while supporting the sustainable growth of the regional energy sector.
