Seatrium to cut $50m in annual costs with non-core asset sales

It sold 17 tugboats in Singapore for $104m with a towage contract.

Seatrium Limited expects to achieve annual operational cost savings of more than $50m through a series of non-core asset sales scheduled for completion in the early months of 2026, according to a press release.

The company sold a fleet of 17 tugboats in Singapore to KST Maritime Pte. Ltd. and Maju Maritime Pte. Ltd. for $104m in January 2026, including a contract for KST Maritime to provide towage services to Seatrium shipyards in the city-state.

The tugboat sale is expected to close in the first quarter of 2026, the press release said.

Other divestments include the Can-Do 2 floating dock sold to Winter Park Trading – F.Z.E for $16.9m in cash for scrap and component recycling.

In Indonesia, the company sold its Karimun Yard to PT Tirta Segar Alami for $22m in December 2025. Seatrium relocated operations from the Karimun site to its facility on Batam Island.

The company also expects to complete the $12.5m sale of Crescent Yard to Mooreast Holdings Ltd. by the end of March 2026.

These transactions follow the 2025 sales of the AmFELS yard in Texas and GNL Platform Supply Vessels, the press release said.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
