How Yinson’s lease-and-operate model powers access to energy

As global energy demand continues to rise, particularly in developing nations, the need for solutions that balance energy security, equity, and sustainability has never been more urgent. Yinson has positioned itself at the forefront of this challenge, applying clarity, purpose, and innovation to the way offshore oil and gas resources are developed and managed.

At the heart of its approach is a lease-and-operate model for Floating Production, Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessels. This full-service solution covers the entire lifecycle — from design and construction to operation and maintenance offshore. By taking on the heavy lifting, Yinson enables clients and oil-producing nations to develop offshore resources without the burden of high upfront infrastructure costs. The model enhances project delivery, ensures operational excellence, and provides long-term performance, all while embedding high standards of safety, efficiency, and sustainability.

FPSOs play a critical role in meeting the energy demands of clients and global markets alike. Yinson is continuously advancing their environmental performance by integrating digital technologies, emissions-reduction systems, and safety innovations. These efforts not only strengthen reliability and efficiency but also reduce the environmental footprint of offshore production.

From local beginnings to a global presence

What began as a small transport business in Malaysia has evolved into one of the world’s leading offshore production specialists. Today, Yinson operates a fleet of high-spec FPSOs across Africa, Latin America, and Southeast Asia, supporting nations in harnessing their offshore oil and gas resources. This growth reflects the company’s ability to pair technical expertise with a long-term vision for sustainable energy development.

Powering progress with responsibility

The global energy landscape remains marked by inequity: more than 700 million people still live without access to electricity, according to the World Bank. For these communities, energy is not an abstract metric but the foundation of growth, opportunity, and improved quality of life.

Yinson recognises that while oil and gas are indispensable to meeting today’s needs, they must be delivered responsibly. The company’s focus on safety, sustainability, and innovation ensures that offshore production supports both economic progress and environmental stewardship.

A future shaped by energy security and sustainability

Looking ahead, Yinson envisions an offshore industry that evolves in line with climate goals and societal expectations. Its guiding principle is clear: energy security, equity, and sustainability must advance together to enable a just and inclusive transition.

Through innovation and global reach, Yinson continues to demonstrate how offshore production can serve as a bridge between the world’s current energy realities and a more sustainable future. By delivering energy where it is most needed — and doing so with responsibility and care — Yinson is helping to light the path forward for communities, industries, and generations to come.
