Will Nam Cheong’s vessel sales sink to crisis levels this year?

It needs buyers for 26 vessels.

Nam Cheong’s vessel sales are expected to slow down substantially this year, but DBS believes that it is unlikely to be as bad as the group’s dismal sales in 2009.

DBS noted that Nam Cheong still needs to sell eight vessels from its 2015 built-to-stock programme and 18 from its 2016 programme.

Unlike 2009 when Nam Cheong sold only 4 vessels, DBS believes that the situation will be marginally better this time around.

“The situation is primarily an oil price crisis and not a credit crunch issue. If requirements are there, customers can still access the credit markets for vessel loans. Thus, there is hope for order flows to
pick up by 2H15,” said DBS.

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.
