Bandar Seri Begawan – Brunei Shell Petroleum Company Sdn Bhd (BSP) has added another workhorse in support of the oil and gas industry.
Last Monday saw the successful launching of the “MV Belait Aishah” in Port Kiang, Malaysia. The vessel is a Well Service Support/Offshore Maintenance Vessel (WSS/OM Vessel) and it is the very first WSS/OM Vessel to be locally owned, registered, flagged and operated in Brunei Darussalam.
The Belait Aishah is the latest third generation Workboat and will be entering service with BSP in May 2007.
The occasion can be considered another milestone in the continued progress of Brunei Darussalam’s oil and gas service industry fully supporting BSP’s local business development programme.
This further demonstrates the ability of local companies to advance to the forefront of the technologically and financially demanding offshore marine sector supporting the petroleum industry. Bank Islam Brunei Darussalam is also a key supporter providing important banking services and facilities towards the successful build.
Launching the vessel were the guest of honour, Bank Islam Brunei Darussalam Bhd’s Managing Director, Awang Haji Muhammad Syaipuddin bin Haji Abdullab, the Marine Superintendent of Brunei Shell Petroleum Sdn Bhd, Captain Embran bin Hj Momin, and the Managing Director of Belait Shipping Company Sdn Bhd, Pg Hj Hassan bin Pg Zahari.
Other attendees witnessing the event included senior management from BIBD, BSP, BSC, the builders Muhibbah Marine Engineering Sdn Bhd, international oil and gas services companies as well as vendors.
The vessel was launched following a “Doa Selamat” read by Ustaz Ridwan who also called the “Azan” during the launch. When the tidal conditions were right at around 6 pm, the vessel supports were removed and the vessel slid effortlessly on its rails into the water with its horns blaring.
The event was indeed a momentous occasion for all involved in the hard work and support of its construction.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
