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.

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 />

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 />

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 />
