result of our strong working relationship and the yard’s proven rig building<br />

track record. We are pleased with the yard’s high standards of quality,<br />

safety and reliability in its on-time deliveries. The co-operation with <strong>Jurong</strong><br />

<strong>Shipyard</strong> stretches far beyond traditional client-contractor relations and<br />

this co-operation is a large part of our success over the past fi ve years.”<br />

A 3D impression of the 6 th generation Friede & Goldman ExD-design ultradeepwater<br />

semi-submersible drilling rig.<br />

<strong>Jurong</strong> <strong>Shipyard</strong>, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sembcorp Marine,<br />

has secured a repeat turnkey order from Larsen Oil & Gas for a<br />

fourth consecutive deepwater semi-submersible drilling rig at a<br />

contract value of US$640 (S$870) million.<br />

This contract, effective by end July 2008, calls for the turnkey construction<br />

of a 6th generation ultra-deepwater semi-submersible drilling rig to be built<br />

based on the Friede & Goldman Ex-D Millennium Class design with delivery<br />

scheduled in April 2011.<br />

‘‘All three units of our deepwater semi-submersible rigs, PetroRig I, PetroRig<br />

II and PetroRig III, currently under construction in the shipyard have secured<br />

long-term charter contracts. PetroRig I will be chartered to Petrobras America<br />

to drill in the Gulf of Mexico while PetroRig II is contracted to Petroleo Brasileiro<br />

S.A. for drilling in offshore Brazil in 2009. PetroRig III will be chartered to<br />

Pemex for drilling in Mexico in 2010. We remain optimistic of the offshore oil<br />

and gas market and will continue with our robust expansion into this sector.”<br />

Mr Don Lee, Senior General Manager of <strong>Jurong</strong> <strong>Shipyard</strong>’s Offshore<br />

Department, said: “We are pleased with the confi dence that Larsen Oil &<br />

Gas has entrusted us with an additional unit of the semi-submersible rig. We<br />

are delighted to be part of Larsen Oil & Gas’ rig building programme and their<br />

thrust into the deepwater offshore oil and gas sector.”<br />

“We have demonstrated our strong turnkey expertise in semi-submersible<br />

construction by being the fi rst to deliver on-time a total turnkey semisubmersible<br />

rig, the West Sirius to its owner in March 2008.”<br />

With specifi cations identical to the three earlier deepwater semi-submersible<br />

rigs contracted, the latest rig will be capable of operating in 3,000 metres<br />

water depth in harsh environment drilling conditions. The rig will be engineered<br />

for stability and versatility with operational displacement of 43,400 metric tons<br />

at 17 metres draft and 46,750 metric tons at 20 metres draft and is suitable<br />

for operations in most of the world’s known challenging deepwater arena.<br />

Strategic Alliance with Mac Laren <strong>Shipyard</strong> in Brazil<br />

Bustling with activity: <strong>Jurong</strong> <strong>Shipyard</strong>’s strategic<br />

Brazilian partner Mac Laren <strong>Shipyard</strong> in Rio de<br />

Janeiro.<br />

<strong>Jurong</strong> <strong>Shipyard</strong> has signed a Strategic<br />

Alliance Agreement with Rio de Janeirobased<br />

Mac Laren <strong>Shipyard</strong> to operate a<br />

shipyard in Brazil.<br />

Under the Alliance Agreement, <strong>Jurong</strong> <strong>Shipyard</strong><br />

will collaborate with Mac Laren for all future<br />

offshore oil and gas related projects to be<br />

<strong>May</strong> - <strong>June</strong> 2008<br />

undertaken in Brazil. <strong>Jurong</strong> <strong>Shipyard</strong> will have<br />

management lead for all the projects and in return,<br />

Mac Laren will be providing the yard the exclusive<br />

use of its existing shipyard facilities located in Rio<br />

de Janeiro. The percentage participation of Mac<br />

Laren for all such projects is up to 49 per cent.<br />

Located in Niteroi in the state of Rio de Janeiro,<br />

Mac Laren is a mid-sized shipyard with a total<br />

land area of 408,000m², comprising 128,000m²<br />

of waterfront land and 280,000m² of construction<br />

yard. The Brazilian shipyard is currently expanding<br />

its shipyard facilities with the construction of a<br />

new 150m x 130m x 13m drydock. Scheduled<br />

for completion in the 3rd quarter of 2009, the<br />

new drydock will be one of the two purpose-built<br />

drydocks in Brazil capable of drydocking semisubmersible<br />

rigs, including the largest production<br />

rigs. Besides the drydock, the shipyard is also<br />

expanding its structural and piping workshop to<br />

11,860m² and increasing its quayside length to<br />

240m to accommodate the berthing of VLCCsized<br />

FPSOs.<br />

On the rationale for the strategic alliance with Mac<br />

Laren, Mr Wong Weng Sun, President and Chief<br />

Operating Offi cer of Sembcorp Marine, said:<br />

“The strategic alliance with Mac Laren will enable<br />

<strong>Jurong</strong> <strong>Shipyard</strong> to be a key player in Brazil’s oil<br />

and gas construction industry. Located in the<br />

State of Rio de Janeiro, the centre for oil and gas<br />

construction activities in Brazil, the shipyard is<br />

well-positioned to leverage on the abundance of<br />

experienced workforce, offshore related materials<br />

and equipment suppliers to meet the needs of the<br />

booming offshore market in Brazil.”<br />

Effective since April 2008, the Alliance Agreement<br />

is valid for 5 years and mutually renewable on<br />

expiry.

When Cyclone Nargis and the Sichuan earthquake struck Myanmar and China in <strong>May</strong>, Sembcorp Marine and its employees<br />

swung into action by contributing close to $194,660 towards disaster relief and reconstruction efforts in these two countries.<br />

In support of China’s Sichuan earthquake victims: Mr K K Tan (second from left), Group President & CEO of Sembcorp Marine, handing the cheque over to Mr Li Ming<br />

Lin, Minister Counsellor (Economic & Commercial) from the China Embassy, together with Mr Ye Zu Yang, Managing Director of Zhen Hua Engineering, and Ms Judy<br />

Han, Sembcorp Marine’s Senior Vice President for Investor Relations and Communications.<br />

To help alleviate the suffering of the cyclone and<br />

earthquake victims, Sembcorp Marine donated<br />

a total of $120,000 as part of its corporate social<br />

responsibility initiative. Employees of the group<br />

and its subsidiary yards also rallied together to<br />

raise $74,656.50 towards the cause.<br />

Mr Goh Geok Ling, Chairman of Sembcorp<br />

Marine, said: “We are deeply saddened by the<br />

loss of lives and devastation caused by these<br />

tragic events. Our hearts go out to the victims<br />

and their families, as we have employees and<br />

associates whose families and close ones were<br />

affected by the disasters.”<br />

“We hope this gesture may help the people<br />

of China and Myanmar rebuild their lives and<br />

property in the aftermath and give them hope<br />

for a new future,” he added.<br />

Contributing towards the Myanmar Cyclone Nargis Fund: Sembcorp Marine’s representative Mr K K Lim<br />

The donations have since been channeled to the<br />

Singapore Red Cross Society’s Cyclone Nargis<br />

and Sichuan Earthquake Relief Funds, and the<br />

Embassy of the People’s Republic of China, to<br />

support relief and recovery works such as the<br />

purchase of medical supplies, shelters, basic<br />

necessities and resources for the reconstruction<br />

Innovating for Workplace Safety and Productivity<br />

Driven by the desire to further enhance day-to-day work<br />

processes, teams of employees from <strong>Jurong</strong> <strong>Shipyard</strong> and<br />

its subsidiaries put their creativity to work by developing<br />

innovative projects for workplace improvement.<br />

Team members presenting their innovation to the judging panel.<br />

Eight of these innovations were entered into the yard’s Workplace Safety &<br />

Health (WSH) Innovations Convention on <strong>June</strong> 19, 2008. After an exciting<br />

round of presentations and demonstrations, the top three inventions (see<br />

box) were chosen by a panel of judges for their effectiveness in enhancing<br />

workplace safety and productivity.<br />

Winning WSH Innovations<br />

1 st Prize : Complete Sensor, VISION Team (JIS)<br />

The VISION Team from <strong>Jurong</strong> Integrated Services<br />

came up with the idea of installing a “Complete<br />

Sensor” device on moving machinery to enable the<br />

timely detection of people and objects to prevent<br />

incidents from occuring. Utilising a tension wire<br />

detection system, the sensor will stop the machine<br />

upon detecting objects within close range. This has<br />

resulted in enhanced safety in the workshops and<br />

greater morale among employees.<br />

VISION Team from <strong>Jurong</strong> Integrated Services.<br />

2 nd Prize : The Safety Hook, Safe Stage Team (HP)<br />

“The Safety Hook”, invented by the Safe Stage Team from Hull<br />

Painting, is a simple but effective contraption that creates an<br />

extended outlet for the secure hooking of the safety harness to<br />

‘scallop holes’ within the ship’s hull. This signifi cantly enhances<br />

safety and reduces falling hazards during scaffold work while<br />

boosting the morale and confi dence of workers.<br />

Safe Stage Team from Hull Painting.<br />

3 rd Prize : Electro-Hydraulic Cable Ladder Cutting Device, LIFE Team (JMA)<br />

The LIFE Team from <strong>Jurong</strong> Machinery and Automation <strong>Pte</strong>. <strong>Ltd</strong>.<br />

developed the “Electro-Hydraulic Cable Ladder Cutting Device”<br />

to replace the conventional way of using power tools and manual<br />

shears to cut cable ladders, which may lead to hand and fi nger<br />

injuries.<br />

By automating the process, this innovative device raises<br />

productivity and minimizes the need to exert excessive force<br />

during cable-ladder cutting. This signifi cantly enhances safety and<br />

productivity, resulting in man-hour savings of up to 200%.<br />
