Swiber stuns O&M and banking giants with wind-up decision

A hearing will commence on 19 August.

Analysts and market players were stunned as Swiber announced its winding-up application amid quarters of slowdown brought about by the crash in oil prices.

According to an announcement by Swiber, the application has been fixed for hearing on 19 August 2016.

Additionally, the press release said the company has filed an application to place the company in provisional liquidation.

“The High Court of Singapore has today appointed Mr Cameron Lindsay Duncan and Ms Muk Siew Peng, care of KordaMentha Pte Ltd, as the joint and several Provisional Liquidators of the Company,” the release said.

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.
