Cosco pops the champagne on 2 contract wins worth USD$200m each

In a release, COSCO Corporation announced that COSCO (Qidong) Offshore Co., Ltd, a subsidiary of the Company's 51% owned subsidiary, COSCO Shipyard Group Co., Ltd, has secured a Letter of Intent from a subsidiary of Prosafe SE, a company listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange, for the engineering, procurement and construction of 2 (two) semi-submersible accommodation vessels with options for 4 (four) more units.

The Letter of Intent covers two potential contracts, each in excess of USD200 million.

The vessels will be of Gusto MSC Ocean 500 design and will be equipped with 500 beds, DP3 station keeping systems, 10-point chain mooring and 300 ton cranes.

The vessels are scheduled for delivery in 2016.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Letter of Intent is not expected to have a material impact on the net tangible assets and earnings per share of the Company for the year ending 31 December 2013.

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.
