Cosco pops the champagne on US$1.2b secured orders

It has bagged a hefty deal in early June.

According to DBS, Cosco should benefit from the higher bulk carrier orders and efforts to build up its offshore order book.

DBS said that Cosco has secured orders of US$1.2bn YTD (60% of our FFY13 assumption). Upstream reported in early June that Cosco is signing contracts for two drillships worth US$650-700m each with X-Drill.

"If this materialises, Cosco will beat consensus' order win assumptions for this year. We raised our TP to S$0.83 as we roll over our valuation to FY14, on 1.4x PB (1.3x previously)," DBS said.

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.
