ST Engineering scores big with 8-vessel Singapore Navy contract win

Delivery set for 2016 onwards.

Singapore Technologies Engineering Ltd (ST Engineering) announced in a release that the Group has been awarded a contract by the Ministry of Defence (MINDEF) for the design and build of eight new vessels.

The Group’s marine arm, Singapore Technologies Marine Ltd (ST Marine) will build the eight vessels at its Singapore Benoi Yard. Singapore Technologies Electronics Limited (ST Electronics), the Group’s electronics arm, will supply the core combat systems and combat system integration solutions.

ST Marine will carry out the platform system integration as the lead system integrator. Design of the vessels will commence immediately and the delivery of these vessels is expected to be from 2016 onwards. The new vessels will replace the Republic of Singapore Navy’s existing Fearless-class Patrol Vessels, indigenously designed and built by ST Marine in the 1990s.

ST Engineering said that because the company is under contractual obligation to observe confidentiality in respect of the contract, it is unable to disclose any further details.

The contract is not expected to have any material impact on the consolidated net tangible assets per share and earnings per share of ST Engineering 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.
