West Squadron Marine Services Pte Ltd

An ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001 and bizSAFE Star accredited company in Singapore, established in 2007, that provides a full range of marine and underwater ship maintenance services.

Our journey

For over 20 years, we have delivered cost effective solutions to the shipping industry, targeted at saving bunker fuel and optimising the operating performance of vessels. Hull fouling and propeller surface roughness reduce the speed a vessel can achieve, increasing fuel consumption and carbon emissions, and with them the emissions taxes charged at ports such as those in the European Union (EU ETS).

Knowledge, experience and capabilities

Our knowledge, experience and capabilities mean we are ideally placed to undertake the most complex projects, and with an extensive network of industry associates we are committed to providing the best service wherever you require it. Having our own Diving Support Vessels (DSV) frees us from depending on third parties for our operations.

Why You Should Choose Our Services

WSMS saves you time and money. Our flexible hull cleaning and propeller maintenance plans tackle vessel performance head on, coordinated with your scheduled port calls.

  1. Fuel efficiency improvement

    Hull fouling directly impacts fuel consumption and vessel performance. Our cleaning restores optimal hull condition, improving speed and reducing bunker consumption.

  2. Reduced off-hire and faster turnaround

    With our licensed service boat authorised to operate Outside Port Limits (OPL), we schedule flexibly to minimise waiting time and off-hire exposure.

  3. Advanced ROV technology

    We deploy ROVs (Remotely Operated Vehicles) to improve inspection accuracy and reduce cleaning time, with minimal disruption to operations.
