Cosco pops the champagne on 2 contract wins worth USD$200m each

Vessels to be delivered in 2016.

In a release, COSCO Corporation announced that COSCO (Qidong) Offshore Co., Ltd, a subsidiary of the Company's 51% owned subsidiary, COSCO Shipyard Group Co., Ltd, has secured a Letter of Intent from a subsidiary of Prosafe SE, a company listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange, for the engineering, procurement and construction of 2 (two) semi-submersible accommodation vessels with options for 4 (four) more units.

The Letter of Intent covers two potential contracts, each in excess of USD200 million.

The vessels will be of Gusto MSC Ocean 500 design and will be equipped with 500 beds, DP3 station keeping systems, 10-point chain mooring and 300 ton cranes.

The vessels are scheduled for delivery in 2016.

The Company will make further announcements when the contracts are awarded or
rendered effective.

Save for their respective shareholdings in the Company, none of the directors or controlling shareholders of the Company has any interest, direct or indirect in the contracts.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Letter of Intent is not expected to have a material impact on the net tangible assets and earnings per share of the Company for the year ending 31 December 2013.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
