“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.
