ST Marine clinches S$446m in new orders

Singapore yards are bustling with projects.

Singapore Technologies Engineering Ltd (ST Engineering) announced that its marine arm, Singapore Technologies Marine Ltd (ST Marine) has secured new orders worth about S$446m in the fourth quarter of 2013.

ST Engineering said these orders are in addition to the recent contract worth about US$350m won by our US shipyard, VT Halter Marine, Inc for the design and construction of two units of Container Roll-on/Roll-off vessels and the bareboat charter contract for the Roll-on/Roll-off Passenger vessel to Nova Star Cruises Limited.

The contracts are for logistics management, maintenance, major upgrade and conversion projects, which will be carried out in the Singapore yards. On shiprepair and upgrading, ST Marine has secured and delivered a series of contracts to support the offshore industries. These include repairs and upgrade of various types of offshore support vessels such as drillship and pipe-laying vessels.

Aside from the maintenance and shiprepair contracts, our environmental business unit based in Shanghai was awarded a contract to design a Pneumatic Waste Collection System for a mixed high-rise commercial and residential development in Zhongshan, Guangzhou, China.

These contracts are 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.

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.
