Sembcorp Marine raises purchase price of Sevan Marine IP rights to US$39m

The sale aims to kill a lawsuit Sevan Marine filed against Sembmarine.

Sembcorp Marine (Sembmarine) raised its offer price for the intellectual property (IP) rights of Norway-based Sevan Marine from US$28m to US$39m. This was a result of negotiations with Sevan Marine shareholders.

The purchase will terminate a US Court infringement case filed by the Norwegian firm against Sembmarine.

The transaction covers the acquisition of a 95% interest in HiLoad LNG AS, a Sevan Marine subsidiary holding certain intellectual property rights; the takeover of all operating and associated costs, including unexpired leases, in maintaining Sevan Marine's three office locations; and the transfer of 26 Sevan Marine employees.

Listed in the Oslo Bourse, Sevan Marine specialises in the design, engineering, and project execution of floating units for offshore applications.

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.
