Will Sembcorp sell its marine business?

It is currently undertaking a strategic review of its businesses.

Sembcorp Industries is currently undergoing a strategic review of the group’s businesses and OCBC Investment Research said there are various scenarios that can happen until the conclusion in 4Q17.

"Some of the possible outcomes include the divestment or privatisation of Sembcorp Marine," lead analyst Low Pei Han said.

The analyst added, "For the funding of the latter, divestments of non-core assets could help to shore up capital, and this could include Sembcorp Design and Construction, as well as Singapore MINT."

Additionally, there could also be divestment of certain utilities assets in more mature markets where the projected rate of growth is lower than assets in emerging markets.

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.
