ST Engineering's Singapore Navy deal could possibly be worth $2b

Shipbuilding alone may be $1.76b.

According to Phillip Securities, on 30 Jan 2013, STE announced that they had been awarded a contract for the design and construction of eight new vessels to replace the existing Fearless-Class Patrol Vessels for the Singapore Navy.

Design of these vessels will commence immediately with delivery scheduled from 2016 onwards. The firm believes that this contract could be one of the biggest naval shipbuilding projects for ST Marine in recent history.

Here's more from Phillip Securities:

The latest shipbuilding contract that was announced for the Singapore Navy was worth S$400mn for the ship and submarine rescue system and maintenance services.

There was no value disclosed for this contract. As every naval project is unique, it is difficult to estimate the exact value for this project.

However, as a rough gauge, we can reference a comparable contract win for the Royal Navy of Oman that was worth S$880mn for four Fearless-Class Patrol Vessels.

If we assume that each vessel for the current contract is of similar value, the shipbuilding part of the project would be worth S$1.76bn (2X S$880mn). However, the latest contract win for the Singapore Navy also includes the supply of core combat systems and combat system integration solutions by the Electronics division.

Hence, we believe that this contract could be worth approximately S$2bn after considering contributions from the Electronics part of the project.

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.
