About
Eastern Navigation
Eastern Navigation is a leading maritime support provider in ASEAN, operating a fleet of over 40 offshore support vessels. For more than 75 years, we’ve empowered the offshore energy industry with safe, reliable solutions across Asia and the Pacific.
Our Journey Began
in 1948
When founder Mr. Tan Keng Hong transitioned from lighterage services—using small lighters—to managing a modern fleet that includes Anchor Handling Tug Supply (AHTS) vessels, tugs, accommodation units, and offshore barges. His vision, built on prudence, integrity, and diligence, laid the foundation for a trusted name in offshore operations.
As demand for oil and gas pushes exploration further offshore into deeper, harsher environments, Eastern Navigation remains at the forefront—backed by operational excellence, stringent HSEQ standards, and decades of marine expertise.
A Flag Raised High
Our trademark reflects our legacy: a bold typeface symbolising strength, a red palette representing prosperity and eastern heritage, and a wave accent in the letter ‘A’—evoking the waters we navigate. Together, it’s a symbol of resilience, innovation, and the spirit to overcome any challenge offshore.
