Keppel gunning for more wins from Sete Brazil

Orderbook currently stands at S$13.1b.

According to Nomura, management believes global economic recovery is likely to be sluggish and downside risks remain. Enquiries for JUs and semi-subs remain healthy and management expect to win at least one semi-sub order in 2H13. Keppel has started revenue recognition from Sete Brazil’s first semi-sub and had a net orderbook of SGD13.1bn as at end-1Q13 with deliveries extending to 2019. New orders secured in 1Q13 came in at SGD1.66bn.

Here's more:

With respect to foreign worker quota (which mandates reducing ratio of local to foreign worker from 1:5 to 1:3.5 by 2015) management guided that it may follow the strategy of moving work to overseas yards.

800MW expansion of the Keppel Merlimau cogen plant which will increase capacity from 500MW currently to 1.3GW remains on track. While the first phase of 400MW is already operational and will start contributing to earnings in 2Q12, the second phase of 400MW will be completed by mid-2013.

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.
