ST Marine forms new JV with Hovertransport

Singapore Technologies Engineering has announced plans to form joint venture Hovertrans Solutions, through its marine arm.

This was an agreement signed with Hovertransport Consultants Ltd and Clearstone Investments LLC. ST Marine will hold 51% stake in Hovertrans Solutions; while the remaining 49% shareholding will be held equally between Hovertransport and Clearstone. Upon its incorporation, Hovertrans Solutions will become a subsidiary of ST Marine.

ST Marine paid US$600,000 (about $843,000) to acquire the intellectual property rights and other business considerations with another US$600,000 as working capital into the new Hovertrans Solutions.

Hovertrans Solutions seeks to exploit the use of hoverbarges for heavy lift in difficult terrain in the global oil and gas, and specialist transportation industries.

The set up of Hovertrans Solutions is not expected to have any material impact on the consolidated net tangible assets per share and earnings per share of ST Engineering for the current financial 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.
