Keppel FELS gets arbitral award to enforce rights against Awilco

The company failed to pay an instalment per contract.

Keppel FELS Limited, a Sembcorp Marine Limited-owned subsidiary, received an arbitral award regarding an arbitration commenced in June 2022, enforcing its rights against Awilco Rig 1 Pte Ltd after it failed to pay an instalment on time as required by the signed US$425m (SG$567.80m) contract for the construction of a mid-water semisubmersible drilling rig.

Keppel FELS issued a notice of termination to Awilco in June 2022 due to the payment default.

The company then further referred to its Circular dated 31 January 2023 on the Proposed Combination with Keppel Offshore and Marine Ltd, transferring the Rig to Asset Co as part of the transaction before the Combination.

"Under the terms of the Asset Co Transaction, any damages received by Keppel FELS in the Award will be befitting of Asset Co.," Sembcorp Marine said in a statement.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
