Sembcorp Marine loses in court over breach of contract

It now seeks legal advice regarding appealing the decision in the case against PPL Holdings.

In 2010 Sembcorp Marine Ltd asked the High Court to rule that the Joint Venture Agreement between them and PPLH dated 9 April 2001 is no longer in force, to direct PPL Holdings and E-Interface to transfer the remaining 15% of the shares in PPL Shipyard Pte Ltd to Sembcorp Marine against payment of the sum of S$59,433,522, and to order payment of damages for disclosing or causing to disclose confidential information of PPL Shipyard to Yangzijiang Shipbuilding (Holdings) Ltd in breach of the JVA.

Meanwhile Sembcorp Marine said the unfavourable outcome is not expected to have any material impact on the company’s net tangible assets and earnings per share for the year ending 31 December 2012.

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.
