Swiber ditches defunct vessel for $14.56m

Proceeds will be used to pay off DBS bank debt.

Swiber Holdings announced that Swiber Atlantis Pte. Ltd. (SAPL), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, has entered into a memorandum of agreement with WAG SPV I, LLC in relation to the proposed disposal of a vessel known as Sea Horizon.

Sea Horizon has been mortgaged in favour of DBS Bank Ltd. as security for the Swiber’s obligations under certain banking facilities extended by DBS.

The vessel was built in 1977 and is the oldest Swiber’s fleet of eleven (11) barges.

Pursuant to surveys and investigations, the vessel is out of class, meaning that certain aspects of the Sea Horizon do not currently conform to the classification standards imposed by its relevant classification society, the American Bureau of Shipping.

Significant rectification works amounting to an estimated minimum of US$0.6 million would be required to be carried out in order to bring the vessel up to class.

The vessel is currently chartered to Meadsea Services B.V. (an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Swiber) and sub-chartered to Swiber Offshore Construction Pte Ltd (SOC) (a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Swiber), but has been put in “Off-Hire” status as of 20 June 2016 at a shipyard in Singapore, where it has since remained.

The consideration for the proposed disposal shall be US$10.25m (S$14.56m) payable on completion of the sale and will be satisfied in cash.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
