Keppel to build a US$315m accommodation semi for Floatel

The project which is due for delivery in 2014 will be Floatel’s fourth accommodation semi with Keppel FELS.

Keppel FELS has entered into a Letter of Intent with returning customer, Floatel International to build a new generation harsh environment accommodation semisubmersible (semi) worth US$315 million for delivery in July 2014.

A further announcement will be made when the contract is signed.

This will be Floatel's fourth accommodation semi with Keppel FELS after the delivery of Floatel Superior and Floatel Reliance in 2010 and the order of Floatel Victory in 2011.

When completed, the new semi will be able to accommodate 440 persons in single bed cabins with ample recreation areas as well as office amenities. Well equipped with a host of modern facilities, the vessel is ideal for construction support during new construction, maintenance activities or for decommissioning projects of offshore oil and gas installations.

The two Floatel rigs delivered in 2010, Floatel Reliance and Floatel Superior, have been chartered to Petrobras in Brazil's Campos Basin and to Statoil in Norway's Oseberg field respectively. Floatel Victory which is scheduled for delivery by Keppel FELS in 1Q 2014 has secured a charter with BP Exploration Operating Company for the Clair Ridge Development project on the UK Continental Shelf.

The aforementioned transaction is not expected to have any material impact on the net tangible assets or the earnings per share of Keppel Corporation Limited for the current financial year.

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.
