Keppel Offshore & Marine indicted with over $1.1b in US for investment loss

The company's US counsel believes it has 'very good defences'.

Keppel Corporation reported that its offshore and marine subsidiary, Keppel Offshore & Marine (KOM), received a lawsuit in the United States with a claim worth $1.1b (US$819.85m) with interest over the loss of investment.

EIG Energy Fund XIV, the plaintiff, has sought $442.22m in punitive damages and $156.52m as pre-judgment interest in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York. KOM's US counsel believes it has "very good defences" to the claim, Keppel said in an update to the Singapore Exchange on 25 October.

The court has not fixed a date for the hearing, and the relevant legal documents for the application are due on 2 November.

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.
