Did ST Engineering contracts dry up last quarter?

Two sectors in the engineering conglomerate showed resilient strength to win $350 million in contracts in 4Q2011.

ST Engineering's electronics and marine sectors bagged a string of major projects, including a Taiwan communications systems project and some ship conversions and repairs.

The Taiwan contract, won through ST Electronics, will involve the design and installation of a communications system for the Taichung City LRT Green Line, said ST Engineering in a disclosure to the Singapore Exchange.

"Work on the 16.5km, 18 above ground stations project will start in the first quarter of 2012 and is expected to be completed by 2017," said ST Engineering in a release.

Taichung is the third Taiwanese city to secure MRT communication contracts with ST Electronics, with the earlier two being capital Taipei and Kaohsiung.

Meanwhile, the ST Marine subsidiary also bagged a contract to upgrade the heating, ventilation and air conditioning system and piping systems of Castoro 8, a vessel from Saipem (Portugal) Comercio Maritimo. Delivery is slated for 2Q2012.

Locally, ST Electronics and ST Marine will also be in charge of added works on the Singapore Navy landing ship tanks. Upgrades will include cover modifications, combat system upgrades and helicopter support facilities improvements.

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.
