Sembcorp completes S$1.5b rights offering

The company said the raised capital is enough to meet "projected operation funding requirements” until 2022.

Sembcorp Marine Ltd has completed its S$1.5b rights offering in September 2021.

With the completion, the company said it will be able to meet its “projected operational funding requirements through to at least end-2022.”

The company currently has 16 projects under execution and two of which are scheduled for completion in FY2021, 12 by FY2022, and the rest by 2025.

Completed projects during the quarter were the fabrication of two wellhead and one riser topsides and two bridges for deployment to TotalEnergies’ Tyra East Redevelopment Field; and delivery of Offshore Substation (OSS) and Reactive Compensation Station (RCS) in August 2021 to Ørsted Wind Power subsidiary Optimus Wind Limited.

Out of the 16 projects, five were delayed by one to three months due to COVID which the company expects to bring losses to the company in 1H2021. 

Sembcorp said it will be able to quantify its actual losses from the delays by end of the financial year ending 31 December 2021.

Meanwhile, the company also has S$0.18b worth of ongoing repairs and upgrades for delivery by 2022. 

Aside from their projects under execution, the capital raised was used to repay a S$430 million loan facility.

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.
