Sembcorp Marine’s order book to hit $1.95bn with delivery of two drill ships

The drill ships were built for Transocean.

Sembcorp Marine’s order book can hit $1.95b year-to-date (YTD) following the delivery of its two drill ships built for Transocean, according to CGSCIMB.

YTD order wins can also be around $800m-$915m, added CGSCIMB.

From the first drillship, Deepwater Atlas, SMM will receive US$50m ($69.55m) of delivery payment, and the remaining US$370m to be paid over five years from delivery.

For Deepwater Titan, SMM will receive a payment of US$350m ($486.76m) and US$90m ($125.17m), also to be paid over five years from delivery.

Deepwater Titan will be delivered by 2H22.

Assuming there will be no delays in the delivery of Titan, CGSCIMB said the final payment for Titan will have a “positive impact on SMM’s cash flow.”

The analyst, however, warned that “order momentum and narrowing losses could be re-rating catalysts rather than strength in the balance sheet given the already low net gearing position.”

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.
