Program Description
The Trent900 Offset Programme is an initiative by the Government in creating a COLLABORATIVE non-defence offset programme in Malaysia.
- A platform for impactful outputs for local industry and academia/RI positioning and enhancement;
- 2 Industry Enhancement Projects were delivered and closed;
- 1 Human Capital Development project is completed and need to be closed;
- 1 ToT project is completed and need to be closed;
- Application of Advanced Material project is delaying due to technical issue and was not able to be delivered under this offset programme;
- Supergrade Tantalum Powder project was not able to be delivered.
The Trent900 Offset Programme has become the platform for the Government to formulate the Malaysian Offset Management Framework.
Case Study: Trent900 Countertrade Programme – Initiation
The Trent900 Offset Programme is one of its kind that it is the first commercial offset programme fully managed by TDA
Initiation
- Purchase 6 units of Airbus A380 aircraft by GOM for business strategic development.
- 28 units of engine are needed for the aircraft.
Suppliers
- The bidders involve in this activity are Rolls-Royce (Trent 900) and Engine Alliance (GP7000)
- Rolls-Royce has been selected as the supplier of the engines
An Offset Agreement between the Government of Malaysia (MOSTI) and Rolls-Royce was signed on 30th March 2006 for a 5-year implementation period.
Trent900 Offset Programme – the first offset involving civil aero-engine procurement.
- Support the development of Malaysian Aerospace industry
- Develop capacity and capability through:
- ToT
- Research skills & capability development; and
- Industrial participation & commercilization;
- Create high-income/high skill jobs.
Industrial Enhancement Initiatives
- AMC for T56 Engine MRO
- Aerospace parts and components manufacturing
Transfer of Technology Programmes
- Bio-Fuel for Gas Turbine Engine
- Aerostructure Manufacturing Innovation Centre (AMIC)
- Maerogel Application on jet-engine parts
- Super Grade Tantalum Powder
Trent 900 Offset Programme which was initiated in 2006 has accomplished approximately 50% of its overall.
- T56 Authorized Maintenance Centre (AMC) Certification (Airod Techno Power Sdn Bhd)
- Aerospace Contract Manufacturing (by CTRM)
- Research on Palm-oil for Aero Gas Turbine
- Aerospace Manufacturing and Innovation Centre (AMIC).
- Super Grade Tantalum
- Application of Advanced Material
The Trent900 offset has successfully become a catalyst for economic development contributing more than RM4.4 billion to the national economy.
PROJECT 1: T56 AUTHORIZED MAINTENANCE CENTRE (AMC) CERTIFICATION
The project involved granting of a full Authorised Maintenance Centre (AMC) status for T56 Engine MRO to Airod Turbopower (ATP) Sdn. Bhd. The AMC is needed to strengthen the MRO capability in Malaysia.

PROJECT 5: APPLICATION OF ADVANCED MATERIAL
The project focuses on the application development and commercialization of a readily available Malaysian nanotech product. It is a replacement of the Resin Transfer Moulding (RTM) project. The failure of RTM project was due to no local company is agreeable to participate with financial contribution.

PROJECT 6: PRODUCTION OF SUPER GRADE TANTALUM
It is a collaboration betweenMetalysis UK Ltd and personnel from Metalysis Malaysia to perform R&D&C in producing Super Grade Tantalum powder.
Impact |
• The delayed has cause offset programme to be extended since 2011 until 2014.
• Secretariat and TDA are proposing this project to be closed. |
