Keppel pops the champagne on $4.9bn order wins

Analyst predicts $5.9b sealed deals this year.

According to Phillip Securities Research, Keppel announced that it has secured new repeat orders from Clearwater Capital Partners (Clearwater) for 2 jack-ups worth US$440mn (~S$550mn). Clearwater’s order lifted YTD order wins to S$4.9bn, against Phillip Securities' full-year order forecast of S$5.9bn for FY13E.

"We believe order momentum remains strong as oil companies like Pemex continue to expand its rig fleet, which in turn could benefit Keppel Corp," says Phillip Securities Research.

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.
