Brazil order wins for Sembcorp Marine have dried up in 1Q15: analyst

Operating problems will persist.

SembMarine’s recently announced plans to build a new SSCV, which will be the largest of its class in the world.

RHB analysts think this is a welcome diversification, with rigs in oversupply today. However, operating problems in Brazil are likely to persist and order wins have dried up in 1Q15, trimming order win assumptions by $1b.

As semi-submersible platforms are part of SembMarine’s bread-and-butter business, with a number of such rigs under construction today, analysts do not expect a steep learning curve for this modified asset.

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.
