More about Loyang Offshore Supply Base that matters for portable equipment
Loyang Offshore Supply Base: logistics and access
Its wharf can serve more than 11 vessels at the same time, so supply boats and offshore equipment move through the base continuously.
Loyang Offshore Supply Base: geography and layout
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.
Loyang Offshore Supply Base: climate and equipment wear
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.
The term · industrial
What “industrial” means for a smartphone
“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.

Questions · Loyang Offshore
Frequently asked questions
Can we buy an industrial smartphone in Loyang Offshore today?
Not yet. The IS-04Z1 is pre-launch and its certification is still in progress ahead of a Q4 2026 launch. No unit goes into a classified area before the certificate covering it exists. The datasheet, the certification schedule and safe-area evaluation units are available now.
What does an industrial smartphone in Loyang Offshore cost?
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.
Is the IS-04Z1 an industrial phone as well as an Ex phone?
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.
Which areas at Loyang Offshore Supply Base would use it?
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.
Is intrinsically safe the same as explosion proof?
Not exactly. Explosion proof is a broad everyday term; intrinsic safety is one protection concept, which limits energy so ignition cannot occur. Flameproof (Ex d) is a different concept that contains an explosion. The IS-04Z1 is intrinsically safe by design.
Who runs the Loyang Offshore Supply Base?
The base is operated by Toll Offshore Petroleum Services, part of Toll Group, and covers 32 hectares in eastern Singapore. Because it is a managed logistics site, tenant and contractor rules are normally set by the operator and by each tenant's own HSE team.
Are there hazardous areas at an offshore supply base?
Yes in places: workshops, fuel and chemical stores, and equipment being prepared for offshore service can create classified areas, while the wharf area is mostly open air. The classification varies by building and tenant, so ask the tenant for its zone plan.
Is Loyang a hazardous-area site?
Not wholly. The base has workshops, storage and quay handling, and which tenants hold classified areas has not been verified. Chemical and fuel storage may be classified. Ask the tenant's HSE team or the base operator before assuming an Ex rating is required for the task.
