Services
On-site services include vessel testing and afloat repairs, hot works, modular and steel fabrication, and storage for hazardous materials including Class 1.4 explosives.
Loyang Offshore Supply Base in eastern Singapore, near Changi Airport, is run by Toll Offshore Petroleum Services (TOPS). The site covers 32 hectares in eastern Singapore, close to the aviation and marine hub, which places it away from the Jurong industrial cluster in the west. Distribution partners for Loyang Offshore Supply Base are being identified ahead of the Q4 2026 launch of the IS-04Z1.
Pre-launch · certification in progress · Launching Q4 2026
Short answer. Loyang Offshore Supply Base has no appointed SAMS distributor yet: the IS-04Z1 is pre-launch (certification in progress, no certificate issued, launch planned for Q4 2026), and distributor applications are open.
For the record, no certificate exists for the IS-04Z1 today. The programme is under way ahead of a Q4 2026 launch. An operator's own vendor approval is a separate step. Certification status. Place facts reviewed October 2026.
| Check | What to look for | IS-04Z1 today |
|---|---|---|
| Ingress protection | IP rating for dust and water | IP68 design |
| Fleet management | EMM and MDM support | Android 16 with EMM and MDM |
| Explosion protection | A separate certificate and marking | In progress; not issued |
| Where it applies | Loyang Offshore Supply Base: Wharf and vessel quay handling, Hot works and afloat repair areas, Offshore equipment workshops | Classified by the site operator |

An intrinsically safe Android smartphone designed for Zone 1 and Zone 21 hazardous areas in Loyang Offshore. It is pre-launch: IECEx, ATEX and NEC 500 certification is in progress ahead of the Q4 2026 launch.
Who operates there and which kinds of classified area a handset would meet, from the SAMS site research.
On-site services include vessel testing and afloat repairs, hot works, modular and steel fabrication, and storage for hazardous materials including Class 1.4 explosives.
The base is near Changi Airport and away from the western petrochemical cluster, so work centres on offshore equipment, vessel support and logistics.
The surrounding Loyang industrial estate in Pasir Ris mainly hosts aviation-related services because of its closeness to Changi Airport, so visitors will find airport-linked businesses alongside the offshore supply base.
Its wharf can serve more than 11 vessels at the same time, so supply boats and offshore equipment move through the base continuously.
Equatorial heat, humidity and sudden heavy showers affect an open wharf and yard, so portable devices used outdoors need good ingress protection and handling discipline.
The base is described as a self-contained ecosystem, with the operator offering logistics management for offshore oil and gas customers from one location.
“Industrial” describes a phone built for plant conditions: sealed, drop-resistant and manageable at fleet scale through Android Enterprise. It does not by itself mean the phone may enter a classified area. Only a device with a valid explosion-protection certificate and marking may do that.
The IS-04Z1 is designed to be both an industrial Android phone (IP68, 4,000 mAh battery, 50 MP camera, Android 16 with EMM and MDM support) and an intrinsically safe one. Its explosion-protection certificates are in progress and have not been issued.
In Loyang Offshore Supply Base. A supply base with many tenants means many small fleets rather than one large one. A tenant could enrol its handsets individually. The IS-04Z1 runs Android 16 and is designed for EMM and MDM, and charging should be in an unclassified area, such as an office or workshop bay outside the zone.
SAMS is appointing authorised distributors ahead of the Q4 2026 launch. No territory has been granted for Loyang Offshore Supply Base yet and applications are reviewed company by company. Because a certified Ex device cannot be opened by an ordinary phone workshop without invalidating its certificate, SAMS looks for partners who can provide competent technical support and after-sales service locally.
No. Nothing can be bought or taken into a classified area today: certification is in progress and launch is planned for Q4 2026. What is available now is the datasheet, the written certification schedule and evaluation units for safe-area use.
SAMS has not published a price. Any figure you are offered for an uncertified Ex phone should be treated with caution; written indicative pricing is available for a defined quantity and site.
Yes by design: IP68 sealing, a 4,000 mAh battery, a 50 MP camera and Android 16 with EMM and MDM support. The explosion-protection certificates are separate and still in progress.
Likely candidates are offshore equipment workshops, hazardous materials storage, wharf and vessel quay handling, hot works and afloat repair areas. Which areas are classified, and to what zone, is set by the site operator's own area classification drawings.
Apply through the distributor page with your company details and the territory you cover. SAMS reviews applications company by company and has not yet granted a territory for Loyang Offshore Supply Base.
The operator describes round-the-clock manned security, strict access requirements and video surveillance. Expect to be registered in advance and screened at the gate, with any electronic equipment declared. Confirm exact steps with the host company before travelling.
With a wharf able to serve more than 11 vessels at once, vessel mobilisation and demobilisation can overlap, and cranes, containers and fuel transfers share space. Portable devices should be chosen for rough handling, sea air and fast-changing zone boundaries.
Yes. Tenants include oil and gas services companies, each with its own safety rules. A device accepted by one tenant is not automatically accepted by another. Ask the tenant's HSE team for its requirements, and be ready to supply the datasheet and certification status.
