Sembcorp Marine's order book slipped to $13.5b in 3Q

Deliveries outpaced new orders.

According to DBS, Sembcorp Marine's order book dropped from the new record of S$14.4bn last quarter, to S$13.5bn currently, with deliveries outpacing new orders.

Here's more:

While book to bill is high at 2.6x, Petrobras accounts for 48% of orders with deliveries stretching to 2019. YTD new orders of S$3.9bn are on track, accounting for 78.5% of our S$5bn assumption.

However, keen competition from Korea and China could cap margin recovery.

Seadrill, being the only first tier operator that has placed orders with Chinese yards, has awarded two more jack ups to Dalian Shipbuilding at end Jul, priced at US$230m per rig, close to Singapore yard’s pricing, although the specs could be different. In total, Seadrill has awarded ten jack ups to Dalian Shipbuilding, of which 2 will be delivered this 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.
