Keppel reveals price of dredger contracts with Van Oord: $212m

It answered a query from the Singapore Exchange to disclose transaction details.

Keppel Corporation (Keppel) said that Keppel Singmarine’s contracts with Van Oord to build two high-specification dual-fuel powered Trailing Suction Hopper Dredgers (TSHDs) are valued at $212m.

This followed the Singapore Exchange’s (SGX) query on the value of the contacts and the option. Keppel previously did not disclose the financial details of the transaction in its first announcement.

Keppel added that Van Oord has been offered an option to order a third dredger of similar specifications to the first two.

“The price of the option vessel will be subject to adjustments and would only be finalized and determined at the relevant time if and when the option is exercised,” the company added.

The dredgers will each have a hopper capacity of 10,500 cubic meters. They will be equipped with dual-fuel systems capable of running on liquefied natural gas (LNG).

The two dredgers are expected to be completed in Q4 2020 and Q2 2021 respectively.

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.
