Further, the days of jack up rigs and general spec semi-submersible rigs are long over.  These are meant for shallow waters and considered pretty low tech nowsday. Low tech means low or no profit. This biz category  will be or have already been dominated by the Chinese yards. To make money, SMM need to focus on being a solution provider (not just manufacturer) for deeper, colder, harsher water. Complex and high tech offshore structure. Complex and high tech means more profit. So, both SMM and Keppel interpreted the competitive environment quite accurately.  |

Sembmarine mission statement:
The world is changing. It is more competitive, more demanding and more challenging. Staying ahead requires constant innovation and deeper collaboration. Sembcorp Marine continuously evolves to keep one step ahead as an integrated brand. Harnessing our global facilities and diverse capabilities is key to keeping us focused to lead the way. New Keppel O& M interim mission statement: Progressively transit to a developer and integrator role, focusing on design, engineering and procurement. With fabrication work subcontracted to its eco-system of contractors, including other yards. The 2 statements basically state that they want to be the middlemen or the main contractor. As mentioned previously, upstream middlemen like malaysia Yinson, TechnipTMC, Subsea 7 etc have done well over the last couple with years with their asset lite and project management model. So SMM and Keppel O& M wanted to be more like them. For example TechnipTMC outsource the manufacturing of the Energean FPSO to SMM who in turn subcontract the construction of the hull to Cosco heavy and just focus on the topside and integration. Yinson, the malaysia energy darling (middlemen) contracted the China yard to make the hull of Anna Nery FPSO and Dyna mac and Keppel to fabricate and integrate the topside. So TechnipTMC is on top of SMM and Yinson is on top of Keppel O& M.  So SMM and Keppel is saying they are sick and tired to be at the bottom of the food chain. They wanted to move up. That will involve getting the jobs directly from the energy majors. |

The only logical explanation why they are going through all the trouble is to make the cleaned up Keppel O& M easier to value and sell. This I completely agree. They are obviously looking at divesting or to put it nicely " unlock shareholders' values" . Whether it is TH or SMM or whoever, this makes it clean. I also think eventually SMM and KOM will likely merge. It' s just that it is going to take a long while. I would rather see SMM win projects and go on its recovery then to speculate for this to happen. I still don' t think SMM has the ability to absorb KOM or the other way (unlikely though) at this point.

Actually, the writing is quite clearly on the wall that Keppel corp is very keen to pursue the inorganic path a.k.a. selling part or whole of Keppel O& M to Temasek. Think about it, why would KC take the trouble to break up Keppel O& M into 3 parts if they are not keen on selling it soon. It is like pulling down your pant to fart. They can just announce they are exiting the rig biz without going through the trouble. And naturally, the stranded rigs/ assets would be off its book in a couple of years time at a loss or otherwise. The only logical explanation why they are going through all the trouble is to make the cleaned up Keppel O& M easier to value and sell. I can imagine Temasek trying to haggle down the price of Keppel O& M beacuse of the Floatet write-off and the $3+billion stranded assets. So KC said " I would take the default risk on the stranded asset by taking them apart from Keppel O& M" so TH cannot use it as an excuse to push down the buying price.

I quite agree. It' s a complicated case. I was surprised SCI/SMM demerger happened so fast. To think positively I would attribute that to the fact that SMM needs that urgently to win major contracts, like the Sofia wind farm perhaps. But that' s just my conjecture. To merge them, I still think they need to stand properly first. Merging 2 loss making companies is hardly a winning strategy.

Concrete step forward by Keppel. Now left discussion with SCM. Maybe transfer existing orders to SCM. Just sad for keppel O&M staff who use to be the pride and joy of SG. Top rig builder now exiting | ||||

Even if there is going to be a merger/acquisition/buyover, whatever u call it, it wouldn' t take place near term. Not even mid term. IMO. |

Well that' s one way of interpreting it. They have explicitly stated they have left the door open. But I am not going to speculate. Let nature take its course. It could be a long while before this happens if it indeed does happen.

Keppel Corp' s 100 days restructing plan has been announced. No surprises. Concrete direction  towards a merger a.k.a Sembmarine absorbing Keppel O& M. Now just waiting for Temasek and Keppel corp to come to the right price for the clean and lean Operating Co. which very much resemble Sembmarine' s current biz model. Kudos to CEO Wong for his farsight as Sembmarine has zero stranded assets on its hand and they have kind of exited the rig biz awhile back. I was just cracking my head previously on how Temasek is going to factor in Keppel $3+billion of stranded rig assets and the beleaguered Floatet into the buyout offer. So it is confirmed, KC is going to extract these problematic assets from Keppel OM so they can sell a clean company to Temasek. Likely a partial sale for cash and exchanging the rest for Sembmarine' s shares. So far so good....progressing as expected towards the merger.   |

CEO Wong, Tan Cheng Tat and many many others holding for good - moratorium as management team. Some retailers don' t care two hoots with slight blips in the market, while others hit and run. As such, you hear some yell run run run. Enjoy your bantering ..... Ultimately like what Better always said Dyodd.  Market don' t move b' cos of what we said ...... One thing is true, " Time and tide wait for no man."
