Nam Cheong wins $70m contracts for five vessels

Highlights buoyant OSV prospects, says OCBC.

Nam Cheong Limited announced that it has clinched contracts worth a total of US$70m for the sale of four units of Emergency Response and Rescue Vessels (ERRVs) and one unit of Anchor Handling Towing Supply (AHTS) Vessel, reports OCBC Investment Research.

The ERRVs are constructed under Nam Cheong’s build-to-order model, while the AHTS is constructed under its build-to-stock model.

These five vessels were sold to Nam Cheong’s existing customer, Sentinel Marine, with the deliveries scheduled to take place in 2015 and 2016.

"As a recap, Nam Cheong also secured US$66m worth of orders recently on 30 Dec 2013, and we believe this highlights the buoyant prospects in the OSV sector andNam Cheong’s solid industry standing as a dominant OSV shipbuilder," said OCBC Investment Research, citing Nam Cheong's current cumulative order book of ~MYR1.5b and annuncing that it is mantaining its BUY rating and S$0.37 fair value rating.

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.
