Quote:SINGAPORE: Keppel Corp's offshore and marine (O&M) arm has secured four contracts worth a total of about S$125 million, marking its first new project wins since August.
The four contracts include a liquefied natural gas (LNG) Floating Storage Unit (FSU) vessel conversion awarded by a wholly-owned subsidiary of long-time customer Bumi Armada, Keppel said in a statement on Tuesday (Dec 29).
All four contracts involved repeat customers.
Mr Chow Yew Yuen, Chief Executive Officer of Keppel O&M, said: "Even in challenging market conditions, we are glad to be the choice yard for operators. This is the 14th conversion/upgrading project that we are undertaking for Bumi Armada. It is also their first LNG FSU conversion project and we are proud to be their trusted partner again."
Keppel's O&M arm and rival Sembcorp Marine have been affected by the sharp drop in oil prices, which prompted energy companies to cut back on exploration and defer existing orders.
Sembcorp Marine warned earlier this month that it expects to record a net loss for the fourth quarter ending December, due to the challenging operating environment and customers deferring or seeking to defer their rig orders.
You can count on the greed of man for the next recession to happen.

The sector is having "structural decline", due to "no rig orders", "low-quality non-rig orders" and "customer delays and lack of payment"??

It is sounds more like a cyclical decline, than structural ones? Isn't it?  Big Grin

Offshore marine stocks fall by as much as 5% after downgrading by Macquarie

SINGAPORE (Jan 7): Offshore marine stocks took a hit on Thursday, a day after Macquarie Research warned that the sector was in structural decline, and the business models of Singapore shipyards will face "immense pressure" in the next five years.

The sector faces a "triple whammy":  no rig orders, low-quality non-rig orders, and customer delays and lack of payment. These will result in a structural decline in returns and balance sheets, the broker reckons.

China shipyards are still far from matching Keppel's in rig-building value chain, and productivity, IMO.

Quote:AS investors of Sete Brasil - the largest single client at present for deep-water rigs being built at Sembcorp Marine (SembMarine) and Keppel Offshore & Marine (Keppel O&M) - meet to decide if the charter company of rigs should file for bankruptcy protection, a broker report suggested that the current woes mean only three out of six rigs for Keppel, and three out of seven rigs for SembMarine, will be built. - See more at: http://business.asiaone.com/news/bankrup...uDyBI.dpuf

Would the possible bankruptcy of Sete Brasil, the top client of Keppel and Sembcorp Marine, affect these two GLCs a lot?

The key reason for the current price diving, which is close to S$5.5 per share.

Singapore rigbuilders have further to fall: Citi

SINGAPORE (Jan 11): The plight of Singapore's rigbuilders could deteriorate, if the worst-case scenario currently being discussed plays through: a possible bankruptcy filing for embattled Brazilian firm Sete Brasil.

Around 40% of the orderbooks of Keppel Corp. ( Valuation: 2.40, Fundamental: 1.30) and Sembcorp Marine ( Valuation: 1.80, Fundamental: 1.10) are accounted for by Sete Brasil and they could suffer significant write downs of $10 billion or above if those orders fall through in part or in whole, according to Citi.

Unfortunately for investors, the bank says, their stocks could still fall further despite significant losses in recent months.
