Sembcorp Marine's order book slipped to $13.5b in 3Q

Deliveries outpaced new orders.

According to DBS, Sembcorp Marine's order book dropped from the new record of S$14.4bn last quarter, to S$13.5bn currently, with deliveries outpacing new orders.

Here's more:

While book to bill is high at 2.6x, Petrobras accounts for 48% of orders with deliveries stretching to 2019. YTD new orders of S$3.9bn are on track, accounting for 78.5% of our S$5bn assumption.

However, keen competition from Korea and China could cap margin recovery.

Seadrill, being the only first tier operator that has placed orders with Chinese yards, has awarded two more jack ups to Dalian Shipbuilding at end Jul, priced at US$230m per rig, close to Singapore yard’s pricing, although the specs could be different. In total, Seadrill has awarded ten jack ups to Dalian Shipbuilding, of which 2 will be delivered this year.

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.
