ST Marine forms new JV with Hovertransport

Singapore Technologies Engineering has announced plans to form joint venture Hovertrans Solutions, through its marine arm.

This was an agreement signed with Hovertransport Consultants Ltd and Clearstone Investments LLC. ST Marine will hold 51% stake in Hovertrans Solutions; while the remaining 49% shareholding will be held equally between Hovertransport and Clearstone. Upon its incorporation, Hovertrans Solutions will become a subsidiary of ST Marine.

ST Marine paid US$600,000 (about $843,000) to acquire the intellectual property rights and other business considerations with another US$600,000 as working capital into the new Hovertrans Solutions.

Hovertrans Solutions seeks to exploit the use of hoverbarges for heavy lift in difficult terrain in the global oil and gas, and specialist transportation industries.

The set up of Hovertrans Solutions 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.
