KSP Towage Sdn Bhd

Founded on 7 February 2005 and based in Johor Bahru, KSP Towage Sdn. Bhd. is a leading Malaysian harbor towage company that manages a large fleet of modern tugs predominantly serving Port Kelang and other major Malaysian ports. The company was established through a joint venture between KST Maritime Singapore and Straits Perkasa Services Sdn. Bhd., leveraging decades of maritime expertise to deliver comprehensive towage and marine support services across Malaysia.

KSP Towage operates a fleet of eight high-powered Azimuth Stern Drive (ASD) harbor tugs—vessels such as KSP LIBRA, SCORPIUS, SCULPTOR, STAR, SOLAR, LEO, ZENITH, and SUN—all registered in Malaysia and purpose-built for enhanced maneuverability and efficiency in port operations. Individual tugs, like the “KSP SUN,” offer bollard pull capacity up to 45 tonnes and speeds of up to 12 knots, ensuring robust support for vessel docking, tug escort, offshore assistance, and pollution response duties.

As part of the KST Maritime group, KSP Towage offers core services including harbor and terminal towage, coastal towage, offshore support, ship-to-ship (STS) operations, and firefighting/anti-pollution response. The company serves a broad client base, including oil majors, offshore contractors, shipping agencies, and vessel owners, and plays a critical role in supporting operations for VLCCs, LNG vessels, FPSOs, and oil rigs operating in Malaysian waters.

Headquartered at No. 129‑01 & 129‑02, Jalan Mutiara Emas 2A, Taman Mount Austin, Johor Bahru 81100, the company employs over 200 professionals in marine operations and support roles and maintains around‑the‑clock readiness to support its clients’ requirements. Financially, KSP has demonstrated steady growth, with modest revenue changes in recent years but significant asset growth (19.7% increase in 2023), reflecting investment in expanding its operational capabilities.
