Founded in 1976 and headquartered at 21 Tuas Road, Singapore, the company operates aluminum shipbuilding yards in Singapore and Batam, Indonesia; maintains vessel operation bases in Kuala Lumpur, Dubai, Pulau Bukom, Pulau Brani, and Marina South Pier; and serves clients across more than 20 countries including Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Europe. Its core offerings encompass the design and build of flagship multi-role crewboats such as the FLEX-40 Series and FLEX-42 Series, armored security vessels including FLEX FIGHTER patrol craft, passenger ferries, workboats, and special maintenance projects through a self-funded build-for-stock program and build-to-order contracts; vessel chartering of owned fleets comprising crewboats, pure electric ferries (Singapore's first seagoing electric ships with rapid DC shore chargers), pilot boats, line boats, mooring tugs, and landing craft primarily supporting Chandra Asri Group's Energy and Chemicals Complex on Pulau Bukom; ship repair and maintenance services; and time charter deployments for offshore oil and gas, offshore wind, tourism, inter-island logistics, and government agencies. Since 1996, Penguin International Limited has delivered over 300 aluminum high-speed craft and positions itself as the world's largest builder of crewboats for its target sectors. In fiscal year 2024, the company expanded into new markets in Europe and the Middle East amid rising demand for higher-value shipbuilding, repair, and chartering activities in offshore energy and tourism.
