Yinson Production's African Journey: A 25-Year Legacy of Offshore Excellence

For more than 25 years, Africa has served as the anchor of Yinson Production’s offshore operations. Today, that commitment has matured into a blueprint for how we empower local industries worldwide. While our global reach as a leading FPSO owner and operator has expanded significantly, our identity remains deeply linked to the successes we have shared across the African continent. This journey is not defined solely by our vessels or our order books, but by a long-term vision to foster an independent and thriving energy ecosystem that continues to deliver value long after a project is completed. In countries like Ghana and Angola, this means investing heavily in physical infrastructure and prioritising local procurement through transparent, certified processes. For the energy sector to be truly sustainable, it must be integrated into the local economy. By investing in local bases and ensuring that the vast majority of our services are sourced from within the host country, we help lift the local industry to meet and exceed global standards. Our approach is built on what we call the “Four Pillars” of local content: nurturing talent, grooming service providers, investing in infrastructure, and fostering early engagement. As we mentor young startups and teach them the complexities of international oil and gas procedures, we are not just fulfilling a requirement, we are building a legacy. This philosophy has allowed us to develop a workforce where local professionals hold key leadership roles not only on our African vessels but across our global operations.
