Sembmarine cuts net loss by 77% in H2 22

Its EBITDA improved to $12m in the second half of 2022.

After reporting a decline in its EBITDA in 2021, Sembcorp Marine (Sembmarine) posted a positive EBITDA in H2 2022 at $12m due to completion of key projects.

In a financial statement, Sembmarine said its net loss also declined 78% to $261m for FY 2022 from FY 2021 net loss of $1.1b. 

“Residual COVID19 challenges contributed to one-off increases in costs in FY2022 due to project delays, additional consumables and man hours,” said Sembmarine.

Its net loss declined 77% to $118m in the second half of 2022 from $523m in the same period in 2021.

Its key projects that helped in improving its fiscal performance are:

• Newbuild FPSO (Floating Production, Storage and Offloading) P-71 for Petrobras for deployment at the ultra-deepwater Itapu field in Brazil’s Santos Basin;  
• EPCI (Engineering, Procurement, Construction and Installation) of Gallaf Batch 2 Project for North Oil Company for deployment at the Al Shaheen field off Qatar;
