Construction and career

Belait CSS-1 was primarily built as a well-intervention vessel to support production of oil in Brunei. She cost about 526 million yuan ($80 million),[2] was built in Fujian, China and registered in Muara, Brunei.
Belait CSS-1 was undocked from the shipyard on 7 December 2013 and delivered to Brunei on 25 February 2015.[3][4] She regularly travels to the Champion Field, which is a complex oil and gas field, situated 40 kilometres north-northwest of Bandar Seri Begawan, in water depths of 10 to 45 metres. She usually docks in Muara Port, Brunei after every return voyages.
Equipments
[edit]The CSS is a multi-function well-intervention, supply, and light construction vessel, with accommodation for workers. It is equipped with a 150 T lattice boom crane, a telescopic heave compensated gangway, a moonpool, a 12.8 T rated helideck, DP-2 rating, and accommodation up to 200 people.[5]
