Sometimes it takes
a photograph from one of our contributors to
provide evidence of the existence of a
ship-owner, and this was the case with Bumi
Armada which is an organisation based in
Malaysia. They operate a large number of vessels
of all sorts, from at least one pilot boat to
two FPSOs.The information
here is collected from a variety of sources, and
as usual none of it can be guaranteed. Having
written this and having made an effort to
collect the details of the ships I find lots of
it is contradictory, or missing, even on the
company's own site. Hence I have given up for
the time being. If anyone would like to send me
information about the ships I would be pleased
to publish it.
At the 2014 review
I decided to accept the information contained in
the company website which seems to indicate that
some ships have been added and others have been
disposed of. On the other hand the two
photographs which I have in our files are of two
ships not described on the website, and in
addition there is a news item on the internet
describing how six crew members form the Armada
Tuah 101 were taken hostage in Nigeria. So there
follows some ship information which may or may
not be correct.
