Semb Marine Research Report

by CIMB-GK (17 June)

Although Sembcorp Marine's year-to-date order flow has been slower at $19b versus Keppel Corp's $3.4b, we believe there is upside for orders in 2H2008, to meet our $5b target for the year.

There are two semi-submersible options outstanding from Atwood and Seadrill for delivery in 2011 and 2012 respectively. We are confident that these will be formalised soon.

We also believe a contract for Petrobas' mega-FPSO, P-62, could be finalised in the coming weeks, potentially boosting Sembcorp Marine's order book by US$1b.

In conjunction with our bullish view on the offshore and marine cycle supported by the deepwater drilling market, we are raising our order-win assumptions for Sembcorp Marine for FY2009-2010 by 14%-20%, to $4b and $3b respectively. This lifts our earnings estimate for FY2010 by 9%.
