Fresh floater projects to buoy Sembcorp Marine's profits

Revenue has already surged 40% to $1.04b thanks to three projects.

Sembcorp Marine’s floaters segment revenue went up 40% YoY to $1.04b amidst higher percentage revenue recognition for its Johan Castberg, Shell Vito, and Karish FPSO projects.

Two projects still in the planning stage, namely Shapoorji FPSO and Shell Whale FPU, should contribute positively to SMM’s bottom line in the coming 12 months, according to UOB KayHian analyst Adrian Loh.

Repairs and upgrades continued to do well with a 16% revenue increase to $391m with average revenue per vessel rising 22% YoY to $1.78m.

On the other hand, the rig building segment posted a 74% YoY crash in revenue to $691m, while offshore platforms revenue also went down 51% to $89m.

Sembcorp also acquired $400m worth of new orders in Q3, including an offshore wind farm sector in Taiwan, bringing the company’s net orderbook at $2.42b vs $6.2b at the end of 2018.

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.
