Shipbuilder receives $10,000 safety bonus for safe and within budget delivery of Greatship Mamta.

Keppel Singmarine Pte Ltd (Keppel Singmarine), the specialised shipbuilding arm of Keppel Offshore & Marine Limited (Keppel O&M), has delivered its third multi-purpose platform supply & support vessel (MPSSV) to Greatship Global Offshore Services Pte. Ltd (Greatship) with a perfect safety record, meriting a bonus of US$10,000.

Mr Hoe Eng Hock, Executive Director of Keppel Singmarine, said, “The safe and within budget delivery of Greatship Mamta is another feather in the cap for Keppel Singmarine, demonstrating our excellent construction capabilities and commitment to meet our customers’ needs. This safety bonus is a boost to Keppel Singmarine and we are grateful to Greatship for its partnership and confidence in us. Looking ahead, we will continue to fortify our core competencies to offer innovative solutions that will fulfill the needs of the global offshore and marine industry.”

The MPSSV was named Greatship Mamta by Lady Sponsor, Mrs. Nimmi Suresh, wife of Mr P.V. Suresh, Group Head (New Building) of Greatship Global Offshore Services Pte. Ltd on 20 July 2010.

This 94-metre long vessel is equipped with two units of electrically-driven 2600KW Azimuth thrusters and three units of 1050KW tunnel thrusters to achieve a Dynamic Positioning II capability. Greatship Mamta is capable of supporting offshore exploration, production and subsea construction activities and was built in compliance with the new SPS Code 2008 to meet stringent standards of safety and stability.

Mr. Ravi K. Sheth, Managing Director of Greatship (India) Limited said, “We are very pleased with the excellent quality and capability of Greatship Mamta. With the successful construction of this complicated vessel, Keppel Singmarine has proven itself to be a reliable and strong partner to Greatship and we are proud of it. We look forward to strengthen our win-win partnership and push new boundaries together.”

Keppel Singmarine is currently constructing the fourth MPSSV for Greatship which is expected to be delivered in the third quarter of 2010.

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.
