Sembcorp Marine receives order worth US$444m

This brings the company's order wins to a whopping S$2.63 billion year-to-date.

According to DMG, the orders for two JU3000N jackup rigs was from SMM’s client Noble Corp.

Here’s more from DMG:

Noble exercised options ahead of expiry date; raise stake in Indian JV. Sembcorp Marine (SMM)’s client Noble Corp announced that it has exercised options for two JU3000N jackup rigs with a total value of US$490m. The shipyard contract for the two rigs is valued at around US$444m (US$222m each rig). This lifted SMM’s YTD order wins to S$2.63b and accounted for 48% of our FY11 order win forecast.

Separately, SMM announced that they have raised their stake in Sembmarine Kakinada (SKL) shipyard in India from 10% to 40% and extended its technical management and services agreement for SKL from five years to ten years. The initial investment of the JV is US$50m. We are positive on the increased shareholding in India as the yard allows the company to be nearer to customers in India and South Asia. Maintain BUY on SMM with an unchanged SOTP-derived TP of S$6.30. Our TP implies 19.5x FY11 P/E.

Noble takes up two new options; SMM has eight outstanding options. The two newbuild rigs will be delivered in 3Q14 and 4Q14. Payment terms for this contract will be 20/20/60. With this new contract, Noble has a total of six jackup rigs being constructed (the first to be delivered in 4Q12) and has secured new options for another two jackup rigs.

We estimate that SMM’s clients have outstanding options for eight jackup rigs with a total value of around S$2b. We re-iterate our view that most of these options will be taken up given the robust demand for technically advanced rigs. Outstanding order book is now at S$6.3b.

Raising stake in SKL from 10% to 40%. Separately, SMM has exercised its option to increase its shareholding in SKL from 10% to 40%. SKL will be developed over three phases and will be able to offer one-stop solutions for offshore projects by end 2012. We are positive on its JV in India as the yard will be well placed to win projects from customers in India and South Asia.

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.

30 One-Sentence Stories From People Who Have Built Better Habits

None of these stories are mine. They were sent to me by readers of Atomic Habits. My hope is that these examples will illustrate how real people are putting the book into practice. They will show you what people are actually doing to build good habits and break bad ones. And hopefully, they will spark some ideas for how you can do the same.

SBR 5 Lorem Ipsum News 2 [8 May]

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
