Nam Cheong wins $70m contracts for five vessels

Highlights buoyant OSV prospects, says OCBC.

Nam Cheong Limited announced that it has clinched contracts worth a total of US$70m for the sale of four units of Emergency Response and Rescue Vessels (ERRVs) and one unit of Anchor Handling Towing Supply (AHTS) Vessel, reports OCBC Investment Research.

The ERRVs are constructed under Nam Cheong’s build-to-order model, while the AHTS is constructed under its build-to-stock model.

These five vessels were sold to Nam Cheong’s existing customer, Sentinel Marine, with the deliveries scheduled to take place in 2015 and 2016.

"As a recap, Nam Cheong also secured US$66m worth of orders recently on 30 Dec 2013, and we believe this highlights the buoyant prospects in the OSV sector andNam Cheong’s solid industry standing as a dominant OSV shipbuilder," said OCBC Investment Research, citing Nam Cheong's current cumulative order book of ~MYR1.5b and annuncing that it is mantaining its BUY rating and S$0.37 fair value rating.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
