You won't believe these are the 3 competitive edges of Singapore yards

Track record deserves two thumbs up.

According to DBS, Singapore yards possess distinctive competitive strengths : 1. proven track record to deliver vessels on time and on budget; 2. global network of yards to accommodate the rising local content requirement; and 3. a wide range of designs for jack ups ranging from the usual non-harsh environment jack up (US$200m+) to more sophisticated designs that are capable of operating in the North Sea (US$500m+).

Currently, Keppel and SMM have three and two units of harsh environment jack-ups on their order books, with SMM having already successfully delivered one.

"In addition, Singapore yards have also continuously been moving up the value chain and are venturing into new products like drillships and FLNG (floating liquefied natural gas) vessels," DBS said.

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.
