KASI provides professional analysis, advice and support in engineering and navigation, and in the management of maritime traffic.
Created as Kinabalu Adjusters and Surveyors International (KASI) in 1979, we become focused on technical services since 2000, and have since operated as an independent, professional maritime consulting, maritime simulation and port control system firm committed to building knowledge and solving problems, expertly and appropriately.
Incorporated in June, 1979, KASI has a 38-years track record of achievement in the maritime industry and today, on specialist consultancy including shiphandling simulation. We have a unique mix of know-how, assets and facilities including state of the art 3D modelling laboratories, a full range of computational modelling tools and, above all expert staff with skill and experience working as a team under the KASI group.
KASI has a pedigree of excellence and a tradition of innovation which we sustain by reinvesting profits from our operations into programmes of research and development, designed to keep us, and our clients and partners, at the leading edge. With headquarters in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, KASI reaches out to clients locally and regionally through a network of partnerships and alliances.
To become a recognised industry and leading provider of integrated marine solutions
Safety of navigation is a fundamental concern for any new port development and KASI offers studies to assist in the design of approach channels, jetties and other marine structures. Our studies are not restricted to coastal areas and port developments - riverine facilities and private jetties also need to be assured of safety. We have carried out numerous Marine Traffic Risk Assessment (MTRA) which are, in essence, marine safety of navigation studies.
Approximately 70 - 80% of maritime accidents are caused by human error, indicating that this is should be a major consideration in the design of channels/ports. Full Mission Shiphandling Simulation (FMSS) allows for active collaboration between designers and mariners, allowing coverage of all types of predictable events with the objective of managing risk within acceptable limits.

"OPTIMOOR" is used in KASI's dynamic mooring analysis. It is a program for the analysis of vessel and port operations personnel especially when assessments are required to be undertaken to meet requirements of the Oil Companies International Marine Forum (OCIMF) and the OPA-90 Legislation. Optimoor can show mooring line loads for different types of mooring lines as well vessel movements at the berth. (Surge, Sway. etc)
A Berth Utilisation Study will allow operators to rationalize and optimize berth facility requirements and identify potential bottlenecks in the chain of operations. Using statistical and probabilistic distribution systems, a realistic prediction of berth utilization can be made.

For clients that wish to move beyond consideration of operational and safety aspects, KASI has the talent and experience in conducting feasibility studies on commercial and economic aspects for maritime projects.
FEED studies are used to analyse the various technical options for new developments with the objective of defining the facilities required.
A study starts from the project brief and works through to the visualisation, conceptualisation and definition stages. It involves translating the client's needs into a conceptual design and then a basic design.

We integrate innovation into our plans, models and designs, delivering projects that will serve our clients today in the future. Our wide range of maritime developments include:
Technology drives our business.
Vessel Traffic Management System (VTMS) is a system of maritime technologies such as radar and CCTV that are used to monitor and control vessel movements in its area of coverage. It can be described as an air-traffic control system for ships and the sea instead of aircraft and the sky. KASI provides turn-key solutions for VTMS from ground zero to system architecture and design to procurement, installation, commissioning and testing.
