Unless clients pay a hefty premium.

Keppel Corp and Sembcorp Marine shipyards have their hands full these days, with no available rig slots for delivery earlier than 2015 unless clients pay a hefty premium, revealed OSK-DMG regional head of offshore & marine research Jason Saw after his recent two-leg yard visits for both companies.

The research honcho also observed that with the shipyards being so busy for the next two years, they are happy to select contracts with better risk/reward ratios.

He also noted that Brazilian orders are on track to be delivered on time.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
