SembMarine wins race to US$650mn order
On Friday, Upstream reported that SembCorp Marine has won the race to secure a US$650m order from Seadrill for a harsh environment Semi-sub. It was reported that two other Korean yards were in the fray and that the official announcement will come next week.
The Semi-sub order comes from Seadrill, a Norwegian contractor and one of the top players in the new Ultradeepwater market. Seadrill had previously only ordered from Korean yards.
Takes lead over Keppel Corp
Its counterpart Keppel Corp said last week that it signed a letter of intent for a US$315mn Semi-sub order from Floatel.
The US$650mn order takes SembMarine’s total contract wins in the last three months to $2.6bn while Keppel Corp has only bagged S$580mn worth of order year-to-date.
SembMarine closed at $5.28 on Friday.
