Damage to Japanese nuclear reactors seen to have minimal impact on Noble

No meaningful impact on the thermal coal demand is expected, as DBS understands peak-load plants in Japan are mostly oil-fired.

According to DBS, assuming Chinese, Korean and Southern Japanese steel mills take-up any shortfall from affected mills on reduced power supply, the damage to Japanese nuclear reactors and some steel mill closures following the 11 Mar 2011 earthquake should have minimal impact on Noble.

While the disaster may provoke a rethink on future nuclear power generation, there is no evidence as yet of a concerted global switch to thermal-coal plants.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
