“Executive Anthem Earns International Recognition Once Again: Best Performing Vessel 2024 Awarded by Brunei Shell Petroleum”

Brunei Darussalam – The global offshore maritime industry has once again witnessed an outstanding achievement. Executive Anthem, a vessel owned by Executive Offshore, Pte. Ltd, and captained by the seasoned Capt. Eddy Sumartono, has been awarded the Certificate of Appreciation for the Best Performing Offshore Support Vessel of 2024 by Brunei Shell Petroleum (BSP) — one of the world’s leading oil and gas companies.

This prestigious recognition is more than just a technical accolade. It reflects the unwavering dedication, professionalism, and operational consistency that Executive Anthem and its crew have delivered in the challenging arena of offshore exploration.

 

More Than Just a Recognition

Since its deployment in the waters of Brunei Darussalam in 2016, Executive Anthem has played a critical role in supporting offshore oil exploration and production activities for BSP. Its consistent top-tier performance over the past eight years proves that excellence is not incidental — it is the result of strong leadership, disciplined teamwork, and a commitment to high operational standards.

In an exclusive interview, Capt. Eddy Sumartono expressed his gratitude and pride regarding this achievement.

“This award is dedicated to every crew member who has worked tirelessly with discipline, prioritizing safety, and maintaining operational excellence every single day. It is a collective success born from a spirit of professionalism,” said Capt. Eddy.

 

Brunei Shell Petroleum: Excellence as the Norm

As a global energy powerhouse, Brunei Shell Petroleum maintains the highest standards in every aspect of its operations — from work efficiency and safety compliance to human resource management in high-risk environments.

The Certificate of Appreciation is not routinely awarded. Only those vessels that demonstrate exceptional performance throughout the year are considered. In 2024, Executive Anthem rose above its peers to claim the title of Best Performing Offshore Support Vessel.

 

What Makes Executive Anthem Stand Out

Executive Anthem is a modern offshore support vessel (OSV) built to assist drilling and production operations. The vessel is equipped with cutting-edge technologies such as a dynamic positioning system, state-of-the-art navigation tools, and robust safety equipment.

Yet, the vessel's success is not solely due to its hardware — it lies equally in the strength of its human capital. As Capt. Eddy aptly stated:

“Technology is only as good as the people operating it. We prioritize training, effective communication, and a strong culture of safety. Without that, even the best technology would be meaningless.”

 

Capt. Eddy Sumartono: Leadership in Action

A highly respected figure in the Southeast Asian maritime industry, Capt. Eddy Sumartono brings years of sea experience and a reputation for firm yet inspirational leadership. Known for his people-first approach, he fosters a culture of mutual respect, shared responsibility, and high morale among his multinational crew.

“We are not just here to get the job done. We are here to make a meaningful impact in this industry,” he affirmed.

Not Their First Accolade

Remarkably, this is not the first time Executive Anthem has been recognized by Brunei Shell Petroleum. Over the years, the vessel has repeatedly earned praise for its consistent performance, operational excellence, and impeccable safety record.

This repeated recognition signifies the presence of a sustainable work culture, solid ship management systems, effective operator-client communication, and full support from Executive Offshore’s headquarters.

 

Executive Offshore’s Commitment to Human Capital

As the owning company, Executive Offshore, Pte. Ltd plays a pivotal role in sustaining this level of excellence. With a strong emphasis on fleet efficiency, ongoing crew training, and values-driven professionalism, the company proves that investing in human capital is key to long-term success.

In a formal statement, Capt. Saravanan Alagar, CEO of Executive Offshore, expressed:

“The success of our fleet is inseparable from the quality of its leaders. Capt. Eddy Sumartono and the Executive Anthem team have shown that with discipline, integrity, and innovation, we can reach international standards.”

 

A Boost for Indonesia’s Maritime Reputation

This milestone also brings pride to Indonesia’s maritime community. As an Indonesian national, Capt. Eddy Sumartono’s international recognition reinforces the fact that Indonesian seafarers can excel and lead at a global level, particularly in strategic sectors like offshore oil and gas.

Beyond national pride, such achievements open more doors for Indonesian seafarers to advance their careers in international waters, strengthening the country’s presence in the global maritime workforce.

 

A Beacon of Reliability Amid Global Energy Challenges

In a world grappling with geopolitical uncertainties and the transition to renewable energy, the oil and gas sector faces growing complexities. However, the consistent performance of vessels like Executive Anthem offers reassurance that offshore operations can still be efficient, safe, and sustainable.

BSP, known for its commitment to safety and environmental responsibility, continues to partner only with service providers that align with its values — making Executive Anthem’s recognition all the more meaningful.

 

Inspiring the Next Generation of Maritime Professionals

This award serves as a real-life case study of how strategic human capital development, global-standard implementation, and visionary leadership form the foundation of sustainable success.

For young aspiring seafarers, the story of Executive Anthem is both a blueprint and an inspiration, reminding them that success in the maritime industry comes through resilience, hard work, and a passion for excellence.

 

Looking Ahead: Sustaining Momentum

While this award marks a peak of success, the journey does not end here. Capt. Eddy and the Executive Anthem crew remain fully committed to raising the bar even higher and maintaining their elite status within BSP’s fleet.

“An award is not a finish line. It’s a platform to aim even higher,” Capt. Eddy concluded with determination.

 

A Symbol of Maritime Integrity and Professionalism

As the maritime world navigates the wave of digital transformation, Executive Anthem stands as a powerful reminder that discipline, teamwork, and visionary leadership are timeless virtues.

The 2024 Certificate of Appreciation from Brunei Shell Petroleum not only cements Executive Anthem’s role as a top-tier offshore vessel but also elevates it as a symbol of Indonesian maritime excellence on the world stage.
