Why 2013 might be a record year for Singapore's jack-up deliveries

55 units are to be delivered.

According to Barclays, 2013 is on track to record the highest number of jack-up deliveries in the past 30 years.

Barclays said that with 55 jack-ups expected to be delivered this year, we expect orders of new jack-ups to take a temporary breather as the market absorbs the new units being delivered.

"However, even after accounting for the 80 deliveries by 2015, more than half of the world’s jack-up fleet will be over 30 years old. Hence, we believe that the upgrading and retooling of the current fleet will result in a replacement cycle that will drive further rig orders and upgrades," Barclays said.

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.
