KUCHING: OceanMight Sdn Bhd has secured a RM111.6 million contract for a steel fabrication project.

The oil & gas subsidiary of KKB Engineering Bhd received a purchase order contract from Samsung Engineering (M) Sdn Bhd for the module fabrication and supply of steel structures for Malaysia Shell R&M onshore gas plant project in Bintulu.

The contract is scheduled to be completed within third quarter of 2024, KKB said in a filing with Bursa Malaysia yesterday.

This is the second major contract won by OceanMight this year.

In January, OceanMight received a letter of award with limited notice to proceed from Sarawak Shell Bhd (SSB) for the provision of engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) of standard wellhead platforms for MLNG FaS (F27, F22 and Selasih) gas field development.

This contract, together with a purchase order received by KKB Industries (Sabah) Sdn Bhd from Seri Ghanimi Contractor Sdn Bhd for the supply of mild steel concrete lined pipes, are worth a combined RM351.7 million.
