COVER STORY
Singaporeʼs Largest Jack-up West Elara Bound for
West Elara – the first of two ultra-large, high
specification, harsh-environment jack-up rigs built
by Sembcorp Marine’s subsidiary Jurong Shipyard
for North Atlantic Drilling, a subsidiary of Seadrill
Limited – is poised to make rig building history in
Singapore as the nation’s largest jack-up newbuild
following its turnkey construction success and naming
on June 25, 2011.
Classed among the biggest and most advanced jack-ups in the world,
West Elara is built to meet the stringent Norwegian NORSOK standard
for operations in the North Sea. The rig has secured a fi ve-year contract
from leading energy company Statoil for deployment to the Norwegian
Continental Shelf, an area which requires strict compliance to high
standards of health, safety and environment.
On completion, West Elara will be the largest and highest capability jackup
to join Seadrill’s new and modern rig fl eet. The rig will be the sixth
drilling unit constructed by Jurong Shipyard in Seadrill’s fl eet, following
three Friede & Goldman (F&G) ultra-deepwater semi-submersibles (West
Sirius and West Taurus delivered in 2008 as well as West Orion delivered
in 2010), a Moss Maritime CS50 MK II semi-submersible (West Pegasus
delivered in April 2011), and West Cressida (ex-PetroJack IV), a Pacifi c
Class 375 jack-up rig acquired by Seadrill in 2010.
Representing a major milestone for Jurong Shipyard, West Elara is the
yard’s fi rst harsh-environment high-specifi cation jack-up newbuild and the
largest of its kind to be constructed by the yard. The Gusto MSC CJ70
150A design rig has the ability to drill to depths of 10,670 metres in water
depths of up to 150 metres, with a higher variable deck load and a higher
operating effi ciency compared to previous jack-up generations. The rig’s
ultra-large size also allows for additional opportunities within areas like
logistics, well testing and early production.
The turnkey construction success of West Elara was commemorated
during a rig naming ceremony at Jurong Shipyard, presided by Lady
Sponsor Ms Grethe Stange, in the presence of key representatives from
Seadrill and its subsidiary North Atlantic Drilling, rig charterer Statoil and
Jurong Shipyard.
West Elara will be the largest and most advanced jack-up for Seadrill.
Mr Alf Thorkildsen, Chief Executive Offi cer and President of Seadrill
Management, said: “At Seadrill, we have initiated and taken delivery of
24 drilling units during the last fi ve years. Of these 24 units, fi ve drilling
rigs have been delivered from Jurong and we have yet another fi ve units
under construction at this yard. Our repeat orders of new units at Jurong
are to be regarded as a testimony to the quality drilling rigs delivered from
this yard. This is certainly to be recognised as a sign of confi dence, and
a strong commitment to this excellent yard. We are very pleased with
Jurong’s performance and quality of work.”
Mr Wong Weng Sun, President and CEO of Sembcorp Marine and
Managing Director of Jurong Shipyard, said: “We are pleased to support
VIPs viewing the state-of-the-art drilling equipment.

Winning Safety Innovations
In line with its continuing efforts to encourage employees to further innovate operational processes for
quality, safety and productivity enhancements, Jurong Shipyard organised its 15th annual Workplace Safety
and Health (WSH) Innovation Convention on June 29, 2011.
Themed “Our People, Our Innovation”, the event saw keen competition among the eight fi nalist teams which were chosen from 18 contenders in the two
preliminary rounds. The winning innovations (refer to information below) were assessed based on their sustainability and practicality in achieving safety
excellence and productivity gains.
1st Prize: SPOT Team – “Hydraulic Cable Drum Jack”
Driven by their pursuit for WSH excellence, the SPOT Team from Jurong Electrical Automation improved their current practice of jacking up a cable
drum by using a Hydraulic Cable Drum Jack. Apart from offering portability and suitability for all sizes of cable drums, this innovative method also
eliminates the ergonomic hazards due to manual lifting and reduces the strenuous conditions faced by workers.

2nd Prize: HP 3 Team – “Duster”
By focusing on overcoming health hazards and minimising environmental pollution during tank blasting operations, the HP 3 Team from Hull Painting
came up with this innovative project to reduce the leakage of grit dust from tank openings. Instead of covering the tank openings with temporary
canvas, the Duster is a portable but secure housing placed over the tank openings to effectively prevent dust particles from escaping. This new
method cuts down on air and noise pollution while reducing the risks of slips, trips and falls from grit-covered surfaces. Work stoppages to fi x any
leakage during tank blasting are also eliminated, potentially generating sizeable cost savings per year.

3rd Prize: Dolphins Team – “Dynamic Trolley”
The Dolphins Team from Machinery Fitting developed the Dynamic Trolley innovation as a more effective, simpler and safer method to assemble,
install and lift the gear racks onto a trip saver, a component of the drilling equipment onboard a semi-submersible. The innovation improves effi ciency
as it reduces the workload of the workers as well as the time taken to fi x the gear racks. A safer alternative, the device also signifi cantly reduces
the risk of injuries and body strains as well as eliminates the need for additional loading on the hanging scaffolding.

Jurong Shipyard and were given a rare glimpse onboard Songa Eclipse on May 29, 2011.
Commemorating the visit.
As part of their learning journey at Jurong
Shipyard, the students were introduced
to the yard’s operations and safety
culture. In addition, they also had a fi rsthand
view of Songa Eclipse’s facilities
and capabilities as they embarked on a
tour onboard the semi-submersible.
Running Knows No Limits
Jurong Shipyard sponsored 30 running enthusiasts from
the yard as they beat the sunrise to be part of Sundown
Marathon – Asia’s only mass night running event – on
May 28, 2011.
While most of us were sleeping soundly, these runners joined close to 26,000
runners in the 10km, half marathon (21 km) and full marathon (42 km) night
races which took off from the Changi Exhibition Centre on May 28. Running in
the still of the night and completing the race near sunrise was a new experience
for some of the runners. Though gruelling, the participants commented that
they had a good workout and enjoyed themselves.
Tired but happy after a night’s workout.
Taking Charge of Your Heart and Health
To reduce the risk of getting heart attacks, Jurong
Shipyard employees learnt useful tips during a health
talk conducted by Alexandra Hospital at the yard on
May 19, 2011.
A heart-to-heart talk.
The informative session included an introduction on the causes, risk
factors as well as symptoms of the second most common cause of death
in Singapore. Most importantly, participants were made more aware of
how to better manage their heart and health conditions.
Striking up Honours
A team of four employees from Jurong Shipyard and Jurong SML clinched
the first runner-up title during the first round of the Canon Super Series 3
bowling competition held at SAFRA Tampines on May 20, 2011.
Pitting their skills against 16 other teams
in the intense competitive series, the yard
representatives scored an impressive
2280 points to bring home the title. Jointly
organised by Singapore Bowling Federation
and Canon Singapore, this event aims to
promote the spirit of good sportsmanship
at the corporate level through a cordial
sporting platform involving all segments of
businesses in Singapore.
Flashing their winning smiles.

HAPPENINGS
Sembcorp Marineʼs First Family Day at Sentosa
More than 7000 employees and their families from Sembcorp Marine and its subsidiaries had a fun-filled time
during the Group’s inaugural Family Day at Sentosa’s Siloso Beach on June 5, 2011.
A performance by senior management to kickstart
the event.

Sembcorp Marine, flagging off the Beach Games and Telematch among the business units.
The heavy rain did not dampen the strong Sembcorp Marine spirit
as shown by the large turnout of enthusiastic employees and their
families who came armed with umbrellas and raincoats. They were not
disappointed as what met their eyes at Siloso Beach was a delightful
wonderland with something for everyone to enjoy – from an entire
pavilion fi lled with activities just for the children to carnival stalls and
team games for the adults.
Kicking the event off into high gear, senior management from
Sembcorp Marine and its subsidiaries wowed the crowd with a
“Waka-Waka” dance performance at the main stage. This was followed
by magical shows and live performances for the families to enjoy. Not
forgetting our hidden talents, representatives from the yards sang
and danced at the SCM Got Talent show and were presented with
tokens of appreciation by Mr Wong Weng Sun, Sembcorp Marine’s
President & CEO.
Spirits also ran high as staff and their families flocked to the many stalls
for games and snacks. Long queues were seen at popular game stalls
such as ‘Cash for Grabs’ and ‘Photo Magnets’. Undeterred by the rain,
employees were also cheering for their colleagues at the various sports
and telematch games. Other highlights of the day included yummy food,
goodie bags and the much-anticipated lucky draw with attractive prizes
to be won.
The smiles on the faces of the families bore testament to the success of
the event. It was certainly an enjoyable day of family bonding with fond
memories for everyone.
