Seatrium lists Singapore yards at Admiralty, Benoi, Pioneer, Tuas and Tuas Boulevard, with headquarters at 80 Tuas South Boulevard.
Seatrium describes itself as formed from the 2023 merger of Sembcorp Marine and Keppel Offshore & Marine, so older descriptions of Keppel-run yards are out of date.
The yards are spread widely: Admiralty Yard is on Admiralty Road West in the north, while Benoi, Pioneer, Tuas and Tuas Boulevard yards sit in the industrial west of the island.
Pioneer Yard offers a 1,400 metre quay with 8 to 10 metres of depth, and Crescent Yard has a 740 metre quay with 6 metres of depth, supporting several vessels alongside at once.
In 2015 Keppel Shipyard secured an FPSO conversion worth 89 million dollars covering repair, upgrade and modification, with completion expected in the third quarter of 2016.
Keppel privatised its offshore and marine business in 2001, and in 2002 combined Keppel Shipyard with Keppel FELS and Keppel Singmarine to form the Keppel Offshore and Marine group.
A hazardous area is a place where flammable gas, vapour or combustible dust may be present. Standards divide these into zones: Zones 0, 1 and 2 for gas and vapour, and Zones 20, 21 and 22 for dust. Zone 1 and Zone 21 are the tier where an explosive atmosphere is likely to occur in normal operation, which is where the IS-04Z1 is designed to work. Anything carried in must be marked for the zone, gas group and temperature class of the area.
No certificate has been issued for the IS-04Z1 yet, so it must not be taken into a classified area until the certificate covering it exists and the site operator has accepted it.

They change with the job, and permits and gas-free certification are handled per vessel. The yard classifies, not SAMS, so ask the yard safety department.
A distributor for Keppel Shipyard (now Seatrium yards), Singapore would carry the IS-04Z1 after certification completes; the Q4 2026 launch is the planning date and no appointment has been made. SAMS reviews applicants one by one and prefers companies with their own Ex-competent technical and service staff, since certified devices must not be repaired outside approved channels.
Not today. Until the certificates are issued the IS-04Z1 stays out of classified areas, and until launch there is nothing to purchase. You can ask for the datasheet and the certification schedule, or book a safe-area evaluation unit.
There is no list price yet. SAMS gives indicative pre-launch pricing in writing, against a stated quantity and site, and does not commit to a lead time before certification completes.

They typically arise in cargo and fuel tanks, pump rooms, voids and paint or coating areas while a vessel is being worked on. Classification changes with each job and with gas-free certification, so ask the yard safety team which spaces are zoned before carrying a portable device on board.
Access is normally arranged through the yard or the vessel owner's project team, with induction, a site pass and a hot-work or gas-free permit system. Addresses for each yard are listed publicly, but you need a named sponsor. Ask them for the equipment rules before shipping devices.
Shipyards control permits and gas-free certification per vessel, so approval can differ from job to job. Confirm device rules with the yard safety department, and expect to explain the marking, the certification status and how the device will be charged outside hazardous spaces.
