Sembcorp Marine wins Shell Vito vessel contract

This followed the signing of a letter of intent on 5 December 2017.

Sembcorp Marine's subsidiary Sembcorp Marine Rigs & Floaters won a contract from Shell Offshore Inc. (Shell) to construct and integrate the hull, topsides, and living quarters of the Vito semi-submersible Floating Production Unit (FPU).

According to an announcement, this contract includes installation of Shell-furnished equipment and follows a Letter of Intent (LOI) between the two parties announced on 5 December 2017.

Supported by the Vito FPU’s 4-column semi-submersible hull, the topsides weigh 9,200 tonnes and are designed to produce 100,000 bpd of oil and 100 MMSCFD of gas. The Vito host will be located at a water depth of 1,234m in the Mississippi Canyon Block 984 in the Gulf of Mexico, 241km south of New Orleans, Louisiana, in the US.

Sembcorp Marine senior vice president and head of rigs & floaters William Gu said, “We are delighted that Shell has awarded the Vito FPU contract to us. We are fully committed to executing and delivering the project safely and efficiently.”

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.
