Here's proof that Keppel is winning against Chinese rivals

It keeps its customers loyal.

According to CIMB, despite the unbeatable financing offered by the Chinese yards, Keppel has not lost any customers on this basis. Other than Seadrill which uses both Chinese and Singapore yards, none of the orders for China yards was placed by Keppel’s existing customers.

Here's more:

Most of these speculators are attracted to the favourable financing terms offered by the Chinese yards, which would not have considered entering into rig-building had it not been for the terms.

While Chinese yards’ market share in newbuilding has inched up to 54% in 2013 from 45% in 2012 by squeezing out the Middle East yards, Singapore yards have kept their market share at about 40%.

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.
