The Lewek Champion is on long term charter to EMAS from ICBC Financial Leasing Co. Ltd. Its main crane has an 800 ton capacity which was utilized to lift the steel jacket from the barge and position it upright on the sea floor.

The Singapore-flagged vessel is currently located off the coast of Brunei.
