Swiber drops liquidation plans after talks with major financial creditor

It will be placed under judicial management instead.

After sending shockwaves across the board with its unexpected winding up application, the firm has officially withdrawn its plans to liquidate the firm.

According to a release by Swiber, the board of directors and the provisional liquidators have had discussions with the company’s major liquidator who indicated that they are supportive of an application for the Company to place itself into judicial management instead.

“Today, the Company and its subsidiary, Swiber Offshore Construction Pte Ltd (“SOC”), have taken out applications to place the Company and SOC under judicial management and interim judicial management,” the press release said.

Meanwhile, as a result, the company has applied to discharge the provisional liquidation order and to withdraw the winding up application.

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.
