Ezra's US$17.1 million expansion

The acquisition of distressed energy equipment for US$17.1million is expected to extend the SGX-listed firm’s scope of services greatly.

The advanced models are designed to withstand harsh environments and temperatures as low as -20 degrees Celsius and can be deployed both onshore and offshore.

The marine and offshore company's Managing Director, Mr. Lionel Lee said: “We have been on the lookout for opportunities to acquire quality assets at attractive prices to drive bottom-line growth.

Sophisticated assets such as those that we have just purchased are hard to come by in Asia and will give us an edge in securing more contracts to grow our Energy Services business.”

According to a statement by Ezra, a scarce supply of such high-end equipment in Asia will widen the Group’s technical edge to secure more jobs.

On prospects, Mr. Lee commented: “We expect deployment of our fleet and assets to remain high on the back of the positive outlook on the oil and gas industry, driven by firmer oil prices and upward revisions in capital expenditure by global oil majors. We also look forward to the delivery of the self-propelled jack up rigs and subsea-capable vessels which we are confident will propel us well ahead of our peers.”

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.
