    CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT

    DEAR SHAREHOLDERS,

    On behalf of the Board of Directors (“Board”), I herebypresent the annual report and audited financialstatements of Icon Offshore Berhad (“ICON or “theGroup” or “the Company”) for the financial year ended31 December 2017 (“FYE2017”).

    – RAJA TAN SRI DATO’ SERI ARSHAD BIN RAJA TUN UDA, Chairman –

  • 11PAGEANNUAL REPORT 2017

    CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT

    In ICON’s Annual Report 2016, we hadreported on the ongoing discussions andpossible merger of ICON and UMW Oil &Gas Corporation (“UMWOG”). Themerger would have created one of thelargest integrated offshore serviceproviders in the upstream oil rig andoffshore support vessel market segment,locally and regionally. However, due to anumber of issues which parties wereunable to bridge, the exercise wasmutually and amicably aborted.

    In November 2016, Organization ofPetroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”)and non-OPEC members agree to cutcrude oil production output by 1.8 millionbarrels per day to hasten the imbalanceexisting in the market and to bring pricestability to the market. The sustainedcompliance by OPEC and non-OPECmembers on the cut in crude oilproduction and the annual increase indemand for crude oil have had a positiveimpact on the price of crude oil whichrose to the USD50 per barrel range inearly 2017. Due to the positive effect onthe price of crude oil, OPEC furtherextended the accord throughout 2017and this has caused the price of crude oilto rise to above USD60 per barrel inOctober 2017 and in early 2018 the pricewas hovering in the mid USD60’s perbarrel.

    With the increase in crude oil price,upstream activities have progressivelyincreased in the second half of the yearand this has had a cascading effectacross the industry value chain.

    However, the longer term and full effectsof the recovery were largely unfelt due tooil and gas majors and national oilcompanies continuing to adopt acautious approach in awarding newcontracts. Furthermore, with the OSVsegment being at the lower end of theupstream value chain, the trickle-downeffect of uptake in drilling and explorationactivities took a while to set in. Thoughvessel utilisation rates had improved,charter rates continued to come underpressure as large number of bidders

    competed for a limited number ofcontracts.

    Against this backdrop, ICON remainsteadfast and committed to continueimplementing its strategic roadmap toweather the storm, which among othersincludes capital and cost restructuring,cash flow preservation and improve fleetutilisation through competitive bidding.These measures taken during thepreceding financial year have bolsteredthe fundamentals and sustainability of theGroup to operate within a low oil priceenvironment. With the recovery in crudeoil prices, the Group will be able tocapitalise on the scenario to turn aroundits business performance.

    FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

    During the financial year, Group revenuedecreased to RM204.6 million fromRM226.9 million in the previous FYE2016.The decrease is largely due to lowercharter hire rate even though the fleetutilisation had increased from 52% inFYE2016 to 56% in FYE2017.

    On the back of reduced revenue,adjusted EBITDA also declined toRM83.2 million compared to RM88.3million in FYE2016. However the Grouprecorded a lower Loss After Tax (“LAT”)of RM55.8 million compared to RM146.7million in FYE2016, mostly due to thereduced impairment.

    Cost optimisation initiative undertaken byICON has translated to better results inits Cost of Sales and AdministrativeExpenses. Cost of Sales dropped fromRM163.5 million for FYE2016 to RM157.9million for FYE2017 and AdministrativeExpenses dropped from RM41.8 millionin FYE2016 to RM28.8 million inFYE2017.

    CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT

    OUTLOOK & PROSPECTS

    Crude oil prices have touched theUSD70 per barrel mark before settling toa more modest but still encouraging mid-USD60’s per barrel as of March 2018. Asper PETRONAS Activity Outlook (“PAO”)2018-2020 which was released inDecember 2017, their activity outlook isbased on crude oil price hoveringbetween USD50-USD60 per barrel. Withthe current crude oil price hovering andsustaining at the mid-USD60’s per barrel,we hope it would spur PETRONAS andother Petroleum ArrangementContractors (“PACs”) to revive theirupstream investment and activities,leading to the increase in the number ofprojects and requirements for OSVs.

    However, we remain cautious andprudent going forward. Geo-politicalevents, breaches and non-compliance ofthe agreed quota by OPEC and non-OPEC members on the oil production cutand resurgence in US shale oilproduction may impact the current oilprice recovery.

    Domestically, the local oil and gas sectoris expected to continue to be challengingdue to the lack of long term contractsincluding the delay in the award for theIntegrated Logistics Control Tower(“ILCT”) tender by PETRONAS.

    ICON will also continue to seekconsolidation opportunities to make itstronger and a sustainable entity moving forward. Consolidation will allow ICON toposition itself better in the oil and gasvalue chain.

    Health, Safety and Environment (“HSE”),which has always been a proud hallmarkfor the Group will continue to bemonitored and emphasised as webelieve in protecting the well-being of ourassets, the environment and our people.

    Going forward, aside from improving ourbusiness and financial operations, we willcontinue to emphasise on sustainability.Sustainability is key in ensuring the long-term prospects of ICON, which will makeus a better company with a more positiveEconomic, Environmental and Social(“EES”) footprint and also a company thatis attractive to investors, customers andalso to strengthen our brand amongstakeholders. Ultimately, sustainabilitycreates long-term value that will translateinto better business and operationalperformance.

    In view of the changes to the MalaysianCode of Corporate Governance(“Principles”), the Board will continue tomake every effort to increase itscompliance with the Practices asstipulated in the Principles.

    Sustainability is key in ensuring the long-term prospects of ICON, which will makeus a better company with a more positiveEconomic, Environmental and Social(“EES”) footprint

    MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION& ANALYSIS

    KNOWN TRENDS & EVENTS

    The challenges faced by the oil and gas industry, including the OSV segment inFYE2016 continued into FYE2017. Depressed charter rates, oversupply of OSVsand lack of long term contracts persisted throughout the financial year.

    However, the initiative taken by the OPEC and non-OPEC members in November2016 to cut crude oil production output by 1.8 million barrels per day has had apositive impact on the price of crude oil. The sustained compliance and commitmentto the production cut by OPEC and non-OPEC members coupled with the increasedglobal oil demand, led to a reduction in stockpile and inventories, ultimately pushingup the price of global crude oil. The price of crude oil rose to above USD50 perbarrel in early 2017 and in May 2017 OPEC further extended the accord. In October2017 the price of crude oil steadily rose to USD60 per barrel and as of March 2018the price was hovering around mid USD60’s per barrel. This was a welcomedimprovement compared to the 13-year record lows of USD28 per barrel in 2016.

  • Domestically, there was an increase inupstream activities and higher demandfor OSV from the second half of thefinancial year onwards. However theserequirements were mainly for spot andshort term charters. Charter rates alsoremained depressed due to anoversupply of OSV and with a largenumber of OSV owners bidding for alimited number of contracts, the charterrate are expected to remain depressedfor some time. As per PAO 2018-2020,PETRONAS will remain cautious onlonger term activities and investment untilthey are certain that the price of crude oilis sustainable for increased activities. Toexacerbate matters, being at the lowerend of the upstream value chain, thetrickle-down effect of uptake in drillingand exploration activities may take awhile before its impact is known.

    For FYE2017, ICON remained steadfastand followed through on its FYE2016initiatives and short term strategies toride out the downturn. Strategiesincluded measures such as optimisingoperational cost, conserving cash flowand increasing the utilisation of its fleetthrough competitive bidding for

    contracts. The amicably aborted mergerbetween ICON and UMW Oil & GasCorporation (“UMWOG”) did not dampenbut rather encouraged ICON to continueto seek other suitable consolidationopportunities.

    The local oil and gas sector is expectedto continue to be challenging due to thedelayed award of the PETRONASIntegrated Logistic Control Tower(“ILCT”) contract for long term OSVrequirement. The ILCT is meant as areplacement to the PETRONAS 5-yearBase Fleet contract effective fromJanuary 2013 to December 2017.However this has somehow beenmitigated as the Base Fleet contractshave been extended further, in tandemwith the delay of the ILCT contract award.

    ICON’s continuous efforts in FYE2017,which focused on optimising its assets -People, Process and Equipment (“PPE”),has improved ICON’s quality of service,reliability of its fleet and operationalexcellence in Health, Safety andEnvironment (“HSE”) performance. Themeasures implemented had enabledICON to weather the market downturn

    and at the same time place ICON on abetter footing to capitalise on theimpending market recovery.

    OVERVIEW OF GROUP BUSINESSAND OPERATIONS

    ICON is one of the largest OSV providersin Malaysia and Southeast Asia in termsof number of vessels. As at 31 December2017, the Group has 35 vesselsconsisting of 25 AHTS and AHT vessels,four SSV vessels, two PSV vessels, threeAWB vessels and one UV vessel.

  • FINANCIAL RESULTS

    Revenue & Earnings

    For FYE2017, the Group’s revenue decreased by 9.8% to RM204.6 million despite improved vessel utilisation rates of 56%compared to 52% in FYE2016. The lower revenue was largely due to the depressed and lower charter hire rates.

    With the revenue reduced, adjusted EBITDA declined to RM83.2 million compared to RM88.3 million in FYE2016. However the Grouprecorded a lower Loss After Tax (“LAT”) of RM55.8 million as compared to RM146.7 million, mostly due to the reduced impairment.

    In FYE2017, Cost of Sales and Administrative Expenses registered a marked decline of 3%, and 31% respectively. Our efforts tooptimise costs, right sizing the Group to make it leaner and more competitive and agile to market demands are delivering tangibleresults and we will continue to pursue such activities going forward. These activities include better fuel consumption monitoring,the laying-up of under-utilised vessels, reduced payroll costs and various other measures.

    Capital Structure & Capital Resources

    In FYE2016, the Group had successfully deferred a large portion of capital expenditure (“Capex”) and this deferment alsoextended throughout FYE2017. This includes suspending the construction of two vessels with a final decision to be made goingforward into 2018, pending market conditions and contracts secured.

    In this respect and to ensure the Company’s sustainability and ability to continue as a going concern, ICON had received approvalon 29 March 2018 from a regulatory agency under the purview of Bank Negara Malaysia for the Group’s application for assistanceto mediate and work out a feasible debt resolution with the relevant Malaysian banks under a prescribed arrangement. Thearrangement entails a structured mechanism for debt resolution to strengthen the balance sheet and ensure that the debts postrestructuring are at a sustainable level. The restructuring exercise, once completed, will put the Company in a much strongerfooting to move forward and compete in the market.

    Internal Group Strategies in Responseto Market Environment

    The Group responded pro-actively to drivevessel utilisation rates via competitivebidding. As at 31 December 2017, theGroup’s total value of contracts stood atRM254.8 million.

    As before, the strategy was to seek ahealthy balance between “quick wins”with smaller margins but fasterturnaround periods; and that of longer-term contracts with larger earningpotential but longer gestation periods.

    Internally, the Group continue to focus onoptimising the core assets of manpower,vessels, customer and vendor relationshipswhile strengthening its excellent HSE trackrecord. For FYE2017, the Group achieved4.1 million manhours without any Loss TimeIncident (“LTI”).

    Contracts Secured & Order Book

    The Group secured several contractsduring FYE2017 which contributedpositively to the earnings and net assetsof ICON group for the year under review.

    These include the three-year umbrellacontract from Petronas Carigali Sdn Bhd(“PCSB”) for the provision of spot chartermarine vessels services. The contract isfor a period of five years, effective 15March 2017 with a two-year extensionoption period.

    ICON was also awarded a RM8 millionPSV charter contract by HalliburtonEnergy Service (M) Sdn Bhd on April2017.

    On 26 May 2017, The Group secured aRM5.4 million AHTS charter contract fora 10-month period jointly awarded bySarawak Shell Berhad and Sabah ShellPetroleum Company Limited.

    In June 2017, ICON secured anadditional AHTS charter with PCPPOperating Company Sdn. Bhd. The 166-day charter that comes with a 30-dayextension option and is valued at RM3.4million is to support PCPP’s plug andabandonment programme at blockSK305 in Sarawak.

    As for long-term contracts, the Groupsecured a three year AWB charter hirefrom Zell Transportation Sdn. Bhd. (whichwas awarded a long-term charter byBrunei based SPHI Marine Sdn. Bhd.).The contract has a value of RM72 millionwith a two-year extension option to benegotiated on a yearly basis.

    With this, the Group’s order book nowstands at RM254.8 million as at 31December 2017, of which, about 49% orRM124.3 million is for a firm period. Thebulk of the order book consists of localcontracts. All contracts will contributepositively to the Group’s earnings andnet assets for the upcoming financialyear and beyond.

    Cash Management

    The Group generated RM67.5 millioncash from operating activities and cashoutflow of RM14.8 million for investingactivities.

    The Group net cash outflow for financingactivities was RM69.8 million as of 31December 2017. The Group cash andcash equivalents stood at RM22.3million.

  • VESSEL MANAGEMENT

    Two vessels with low utilisation and duefor drydocking were laid-up to reducecost. In ensuring a high-level ofoperational readiness and vessel’availability, maintenance and repairworks were carried out during the year inaccordance to ICON’s plannedmaintenance system (“PMS”). Closemonitoring on compliance to the PMS byour Technical team ensured no vesselexceeded more than 5% of its plannedand scheduled jobs.

    We continue to implement our fuelmonitoring and management system onvessels, which ensured vessels areoperated economically and inaccordance to the agreed optimum fuelconsumption for each vessel.

    On a separate note, we also have anenbloc drydocking arrangement with amajor Malaysian shipyard. The Groupwas able to benefit from economies ofscale as well as to enable a better cashflow planning due to the favourablepayment scheme.

    PEOPLE MANAGEMENT AND DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVES

    Throughout the year, ICON continued tofocus on talent retention, developmentand succession planning as part of itsinternal strategy to ensure businesssustainability. Given the present acuteshortage of suitable talent across theoffshore marine industry, we havecontinued to emphasise talentmanagement as being pivotal to theGroup’s long-term success.

    More details of our talent initiatives areprovided in the Sustainability Statementof this Annual Report.

    We continue to maintain good workingrelationship with Akademi Laut Malaysia(“ALAM”) and other maritime andeducation training (“MET”) institutions

    towards developing and ensuringavailability of an adequate pool ofseafarers to meet current and futureICON seafarers needs.

    ANTICIPATED OR KNOWN RISKS

    The Group remains cognisant of its riskfactors which include any potentialvolatility in crude oil prices, which mayimpact demand for OSVs and depressedvessel charter rates. Accordingly, theGroup continues to hedge itself betweenlong-term charter contracts with fixedrates and shorter ones that provide quickrevenue recognition and cash flow.

    In the same vein, the Group will activelyseek opportunities to diversify across thesupply chain to provide related supportservices such as subsea, maintenanceand repair and offshore installation andconstruction. This would be achieved viajoint venture partnerships or outrightmergers or acquisitions via suitable parties.

    We continue to invest in developing theGroup’s talent through variousprogrammes, fully aware that manpowerremains a critical risk area for all OSVoperators. There is a lack of qualifiedpersonnel in Malaysia for both onshoreand offshore personnel, with the latterfacing an acute shortage particularly forthe top four shipboard positions. Ourmajor shareholder, has been verysupportive of our talent trainingprogramme for FYE2017 and the samesupport and commitment has beenextended into FYE2018.

    OUTLOOK FOR 2018

    Global stockpiles continue to drop sincethe beginning of the year as demandsteadily outstrips supply. According to theInternational Energy Agency, demandgrowth for 2018 is expected to grow by1.4 mb/d with total demand projected toreach the 100 mb/d level in 4Q2018.Drilling activity has increased across keymarkets - locally and abroad.

    Increased US shale gas production andgeo-political events in the Middle-East,East Asia and trade wars are fewexamples of events that may derail thecurrent rise of crude oil prices and affecton the supply and demand of globalcrude oil.

    The continued quota discipline by OPECand non-OPEC countries also instilsconfidence that crude oil prices willremain stable, if not, increase in 2018.Certainly, the agreement by Saudi Arabiaand Russia to co-chair a monitoringcommittee to assess adherence toproduction targets as well as to continuelimiting output through the end of 2018further reinforces positive sentiment.

    In Malaysia, the government hasmapped out various policies andincentives to spur the growth of the oiland gas sector, given its importance asa national key result area under theEconomic Transformation Programme(“ETP”). The sector is targeted to delivera 5% annual growth until 2020.

    MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION& ANALYSIS

  • We are hopeful that the optimism, felt in themarket will see PETRONAS and other oiland gas players stepping up theirinvestment in the upstream sector whichwill translate into stronger demand forservices including the OSV sector.However, conditions will remainchallenging. Due to the long value chainof the industry, the multiplier effect will takea while to set in for OSV players. Oil andgas will continue to come under pressurefrom Renewable Energy (“RE”) with moreenergy companies looking into the latter.

    The on-going rationalisation of the entiresupport services industry is another factorthat must be considered. In the long-term,consolidation is good for the localindustry. This is the inevitable reality withPETRONAS also indicating their supportfor consolidation to create a smaller, butmore competitive and efficient supportservices industry. However, this wouldmean that all players must be at theircompetitive best to ride out the toughoperating conditions ahead.

    FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENT

    In charting the best course forward,ICON held an Away Day in October2017. The purpose of this exercise wasfor the Board and Senior Management tooutline key strategic issues to chart thestrategic direction of the Company goingforward within a five year timeframe.

    At this session, the participantsdeliberated on and challenged theGroup’s aspirations and goals.

    These encompassed external andinternal business factors, material issues,the impact of rising technological trends,growing competition, socio-economicand political issues.

    Essentially, the Group’s approach is tocontinue bidding competitively forcontracts both locally and abroad. Wewill continue to refine our business modelto derive further cost effectiveness andefficiency. The past few years presented

    20PAGE ICON OFFSHORE BERHAD ( 984830-D )

    MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION& ANALYSIS

    the Group with opportunities to pursueinternal improvements, to strengthen itsbusiness fundamentals and emerge as astronger and more resilient company.

    We remain on the look-out for viableopportunities that will allow us to expandour footprint across the value chain,either vertically or horizontally. Beyondexpanding the Group’s revenue base,horizontal integration will strengthenICON’s capability to deliver acomprehensive solution and providesynergy to oil and gas players. This willenable ICON to bid more competitivelyfor contracts. Vertical integration willfurther entrench our presence locally andregionally, and will give us competitiveadvantages.

    Management will continue to considerother corporate activities to increasestakeholder value, taking intoconsideration the size and strength ofICON’s balance sheet.

    While we are supportive of initiativestaken by our national oil company, weremain hopeful that PETRONAS will playan active role in this process byprioritising local OSV players over foreigncompanies. This is essential given theimportance of the value chain towardssupporting national aspirations in makingMalaysia a regional oil and gas hub by2020.

    DIVIDEND POLICY

    The Group’s ability to pay out dividendsis based on its profitability and its long-term strategic plans for cashconservation as well as to drive futuregrowth plans. Given the Group’s financialperformance, no dividend was declaredby the Board for FYE2017.

    NOTES TO THEFINANCIAL STATEMENTS

    (CONTINUED)

  • Given our business exposure and operations which are primarily aligned to the oil and gas industry, theGroup has always maintained a heightened sense of vigilance, compliance and disclosure with regards tosustainability, particularly in the areas most material to ICON. These include but are not limited to HSE,talent management, staff welfare, vessel management, business and operational risks, as well as impacton the community. The Group remains focused and steadfast in ensuring a sustainable business operationthat creates long-term shared values for stakeholders.

    With the regulator’s push for greater sustainability disclosure, the Group presents its inaugural SustainabilityStatement (“Statement”), which provides a narrative of its efforts in creating shared values in 2017.

    28PAGE ICON OFFSHORE BERHAD ( 984830-D )

    SUSTAINABILITYSTATEMENT

    Sustainability is an integral component insupporting ICON’s growth and progress. Since itsinception, sustainability has been championedfrom within as a conscious corporate decisionrather than a reactionary response to externaldevelopments.

  • STATEMENT SCOPE & BOUNDARY

    ICON’s Statement provides disclosure on the Group’s most pertinent projects, initiatives and activities; and that of its subsidiariesand joint venture companies. Excluded is the Group’s value chain of third party contractors, suppliers and vendors.

    Going forward, the Group believes that it is in a position to help cultivate greater sustainability consciousness among its businesspartners and with that, will explore the possibility to cascade its sustainability policies, culture and best practices to its valuechain partners.

    GOVERNANCE

    Sustainability is given due consideration across all levels of the Group’s hierarchy which includes the Board and SeniorManagement Level, and it is then cascaded across the organisation.

    The Group’s governance is guided by the following internal policies. It is also guided by the mandated HSE and other industryrequirements of the oil and gas industry.

    • Group Corporate Values• Board Charter• Code of Ethics,for which we have three:

    i. Employee Code of Ethicsii. Directors Code of Ethicsiii. IT Code of Ethics

    • Whistleblower Policy• Risk Management Policy• Corporate Disclosure Policies and Procedures• HSE Policy

    In October 2017, ICON held a Board Away Day meeting that was attended by the Chairman, board of directors and seniormanagement of ICON. Aside from business issues, the meeting included discussion on sustainability related matters that wereof material importance to ICON.

    Based on the internal insights derived from this exercise, Management was able to further refine their materiality identificationefforts across all EES pillars.

    The Group also continued to engage with stakeholders as part of its overall sustainability strategy.

    STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT

    During the financial year, ICON continued to engage with its various stakeholders through a wide range of communicationchannels and mediums. The engagements were either part of the natural obligatory communications with shareholders i.e.circulars announcing the annual general meeting, publication of quarterly financial results.; or as an additional effort by the Groupto solicit feedback from stakeholders to enrich its sustainability perspective.

The rest of this Statement provides an account of the Management’s approach in managingeach of these identified materiality matters and the progress achieved as well as the key learning points for the year.

    MATERIALITY MATTERS

    Crude Oil Prices

    The Group is heavily dependent on upstream activity within the oil and gas sector, particularly the awarding of exploration andproduction (“E&P”) contracts. Demand for such projects is naturally influenced by the price of crude oil.

    Given the recovery of crude oil prices in 2017; averaging around USD55 per barrel, the Group’s risk factor has been to a certainextent, mitigated. However, given that global or local macro-economic developments may lead to fluctuations in crude oil prices,the Group has restructured its business model to ensure sustainable operations amidst a “new norm” crude oil price environment.

    The various efforts undertaken over the past three years have augured well, positioning the Group to sustain its operation withinthe current market environment. These efforts include continued reduction of capital and operational expenditures, enhancingoperational synergy between its subsidiaries, expanding strategic partnerships and seeking new opportunities to improve itscompetitiveness.

  • 31PAGEANNUAL REPORT 2017

    SUSTAINABILITYSTATEMENT

    Vessels Fuel Management

    The Group continues to practice prudence in managing its key operational costs that include vessels fuel management. In 2017,such efforts have resulted in savings for ICON.

    Among the various improvement measures put in place were implementation of a remote fuel monitoring system for vesselactivities, weather and vessel movement. This is in addition to having a dedicated team monitoring and conducting a monthlyanalysis on the vessels fuel consumption and performance. These measures were supplemented by organising multiple trainingand engagement sessions with ship crew to promote greater awareness and action on fuel management.

    Going forward, we will maintain the hard-earned fuel management efficiencies we have achieved. We will continue to implementall effective measures while ensuring more rigorous monitoring so that meaningful data is available to track our performanceaccordingly.

    HSE Track Record

    ICON continues to place emphasis on strengthening its HSE proven track record.

    The marine sector of the oil and gas industry is a high risk sector and it is ICON’s goal that all staff, especially our marine crew,return home safely to their families after each tour of duty. However, safety is everyone’s responsibility and can only be achievedif all involved play their part.

    We have enforced upon our crews the need to pay greater attention to both the Permit to Work system and Lock Out Tag Out(“LOTO”) system we have implemented onboard vessels. They must also strictly enforce with no exceptions, the rule for fasteningcargo securely prior to vessels departing from port or from an offshore location.

    We have conducted Management Visits to the vessels throughout the year. We believe that HSE is an issue that is critical acrossour supply chain and all parties, including contractors, suppliers and vendors must share a similar mindset and commitment asICON towards HSE. Hence, we continue to reach out in conveying this commitment across our supply chain.

    In addition to these, we have implemented more vigilant and continuous vessel roving by qualified shore-based personnel.

    Remaining ever vigilant and continuing to be proactive, ICON continues to initiate various HSE programmes and initiatives. Amongthose held in 2017 were Unsafe Act and Unsafe Condition (“UAUC”), whereby all vessels were required to provide submissionswith effect to the aforementioned. Special focus was placed on improving cargo securing practices onboard fleet vessels, whichis a key HSE concern for ICON as well as for many OSV operators.

    The Group also initiated quarterly HSE campaigns as follows:

    Campaign Details

    Q1 SMS Compliance Emphasising on the importance of Near Miss reporting by vessels. The objective is to learn from mistakes and share experiences and lessons learnt with others. This is supported via a simple Near Miss reporting procedure in poster form and a SOP-APP1-NM1-Near Miss report form.

    Q2 Hygiene awareness & inspection Encouraging crew to maintain a clean vessel and workplace environment by adopting various onboard measures to ensure the vessel maintains a high level of cleanliness at all times. Cleanliness is also linked to improved efficiency and effectiveness within limited work space as well as a more hygienic and safer environment.

    Q3 Health Campaign Emphasising on recognition of common cold symptoms, the spread of the illness and preventive measures.

    Q4 Monsoon & Stop Work Emphasising on the do’s and don’ts given the annual North East monsoon season as well as the role of Masters’ overriding authority regarding Stop Work orders.

    Also highlighted are the requirements for cargo securing prior to departure of vessels from port; and the need to implement clear deck practices and other precautions whenever vessel is moored at the anchorage.

    Efforts were also aimed at the vessels’ masters on the importance of observing proper Stop Work implementation onboard,especially during adverse weather or when faced with potential unsafe situations onboard.

    One key initiative was to organise engagement and debriefing sessions where crew members could share their lessons learntand insights with each other. One of these was the Officers Forum which saw 55 participants coming together to share theirknowledge and discuss their experiences towards improving safety aspects of operations as well as undertaking plannedmaintenance onboard.

    One key initiative wasto organise engagementand debriefing sessionswhere crew memberscould share theirlessons learnt andinsights with each other

  • This method is different from the typical top-down push of HSE culture and practices and by getting peers to share; has led togreater buy-in. In 2017, sessions were held for Masters and Chief Engineers in particular.

    During the year, 39 top management visits were held whereby senior level managers would physically board and inspect vesselsand meet with crews to get a first-hand experience of “on-ground” conditions. The scope of such visits is not confined solely toHSE factors but also on vessels’ cleanliness, hygiene, PPE facilities and general conditions. The visits also provide a platform formarine crew to interact with the senior management team from the office.

    In 2017, the Group organised 39 such visits to vessels as listed below:

  • Talent Management & Development

    The industry continues to face an acuteshortage of talent and rely on the opentalent pool. ICON has put in placevarious programmes and is proud toshare that it has achieved anencouraging measure of success in thisarea. This is also in line with complyingto PETRONAS’ requirements for vesselsto be manned by 100% local crew.

    The Group has increased its trainingbudget in 2017 by 13% to RM2.1 million(2016: 1.9 million). Despite thechallenging operating conditions, ICONcontinues to prioritise the development ofits people. As in previous years, emphasiswas placed on training and developmentactivities for marine crew that make upalmost 83% of our total workforce.

    We also continue to maintain strongrelationship with various Maritime Educationand Training (“MET”) Institutions. Amongour initiatives in 2017 were:

    • Providing On-Job-Training for 23cadets as part of a collaboration withMET institutions. Under thiscollaboration, ICON provided thecadets, aged 20-21, an opportunity togain first-hand practical skills and

    training. The best performing cadetswill be offered employment with ICON.Six of the cadets are now serving asofficers onboard ICON’s vessels.

    • Providing eight trainees with DPOperator training to produceadequate numbers of competentand qualified DP Operators to manICON DP equipped vessels. This isone of the key positions where talentis needed across the Malaysianmaritime industry. Currently, thereare five qualified DP trainees servingICON’s fleet.

    • Once again collaborating with MET,ICON selected four candidates toundergo the APS. Upon completionof their combined courses,candidates shall serve as seniorofficers onboard ICON’s vessels.

    In addition, ICON has organised trainingand professional developmentprogrammes, courses or events. One ofthese was the Emergency ManagementTraining (“EMT”) session conducted byexternal consultant using the principles ofthe Incident Command System for theICON Offshore Shore Based EmergencyResponse Team (“SERT”). The session washeld over the period of 16-17 May 2017.

    In 2017, the total number of trainingmanhours was approximately 2,200hours with an average of 40 hours foreach employee.

    Minimising Carbon Footprint of Vessels

    In 2017, all 35 ICON vessels compliedwith the latest MARPOL Regulation onSEEMP. The SEEMP is an operationalmeasure that establishes a mechanismto improve the energy efficiency of a shipin a cost-effective manner. The SEEMPalso provides an approach for shippingcompanies to manage ship and fleetefficiency performance over time using,for example, the Energy EfficiencyOperational Indicator (“EEOI”) as amonitoring tool.

    The guidelines for the development of theSEEMP for new and existing shipsincorporates best practices for fuelefficient ship operation, as well asguidelines for voluntary use of the EEOI.

    The EEOI enables operators to measurethe fuel efficiency of a ship in operationand to gauge the effect of any changes inoperation, e.g. improved voyageplanning, more frequent propeller

    cleaning, or introduction of technicalmeasures such as waste heat recoverysystems or a new propeller. The SEEMPencourages the ship owner and operatorat each stage of the plan to consider newtechnologies and practices when seekingto optimise the performance of a ship.

    Leadership Bench

    The Group has a robust succession planin place, with many of its seniormanagement and management staffhaving risen through the ranks to assumeleadership positions in ICON.

    The Group continues to prioritise internalhires in the nurturing of its next echelonof leaders. However, if required, ICON isnot averse to considering external hiresif there is no suitable internal candidateor talent.

    Gender and Age Diversity

    As an equal opportunity employer, ICONcontinues to seek ways to recruit morewomen into its organisation and this isreflected at the highest levels of theGroup. In 2017, the Board has twofemale directors, both sitting asIndependent, Non-Executive Directorsand will continue to improve its genderratio as and when necessary.

    Similarly, we continue to create an equalopportunity environment whilst ensuringa healthy balance of young and seniorstaff to provide a strong blend of youthfulvigour and new ideas with proven,industry experience.
