Field notes · Loyang Offshore Supply Base
More about Loyang Offshore Supply Base that matters for portable equipment
Loyang Offshore Supply Base: industry on the ground
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.
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 term · intrinsically safe
What “intrinsically safe” means for a smartphone
Intrinsic safety limits the electrical and thermal energy in a circuit so that neither a spark nor a hot surface can ignite a gas or dust atmosphere, even when a fault occurs. The ib level, used for Zone 1, tolerates one fault. It is the usual way to make a handheld device that a worker carries continuously through a hazardous area.
The IS-04Z1 is designed on this principle for Zone 1 and Zone 21 (marking target II 2 G Ex ib IIC T4). Intrinsic safety is a design basis, not a certificate: certification is in progress and none has been issued yet.
In Loyang Offshore Supply Base. Staff at a supply base do receiving, inspection and quayside handling more than process rounds. Where a classified area does exist, such as fuel or chemical storage, a handheld intrinsically safe device lets them scan, photograph and record without leaving it. The IS-04Z1 is designed for Zone 1 use.

Questions · Loyang Offshore
Frequently asked questions
Can we buy an intrinsically safe mobile phone 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 intrinsically safe mobile phone 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.
What does ‘intrinsically safe’ mean for the IS-04Z1?
The circuits are designed to limit energy so a spark or hot surface cannot ignite a gas or dust atmosphere, even with one fault (level ib, Zone 1). Certification of that design is 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.
How do I become a SAMS distributor for Loyang Offshore Supply Base?
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.
What access controls should I expect at Loyang?
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.
Why does the wharf matter for equipment planning?
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.
Do tenants set their own device rules?
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.
