Seatrium agrees to pay $91.5m following arbitration ruling

The company said the amount will be full and final. 

Seatrium Limited announced that it will pay $91.5m (US$68m) to MH Wirth following the conclusion of the arbitration in relation to contracts terminated in 2021 and 2022. 

The company said in a regulatory filing that this will be the “full and final settlement to resolve the interest payable and all outstanding issues arising from the award.”

This settlement is less than the $145.48m (US$108m) ordered by the Singapore International Arbitration Centre in April.

According to reports, Seatrium’s wholly-owned subsidiary Jurong Shipyard Pte Ltd awarded four drilling equipment contracts to MH Wirth in 2012. These were later terminated in 2021 and 2022

MH Wirth lodged the arbitration against Jurong Shipyard in December 2021 for allegedly breaching the agreements.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

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.
