Showcasing Expertise at Nor-Shipping 2005<br />
SembCorp Marine and its subsidiary yards – <strong>Jurong</strong> <strong>Shipyard</strong>, Sembawang <strong>Shipyard</strong><br />
and PPL <strong>Shipyard</strong> – showcased to great success its range of integrated expertise during<br />
Nor-Shipping 2005, a premier trade show for the global shipping industry, which took<br />
place from June 7 to 10, in Oslo, Norway.<br />
The Group was part of the 15-exhibitor strong<br />
delegation forming the Singapore Pavilion,<br />
organised by the Singapore Maritime<br />
Foundation (SMF). This year’s show had a<br />
record turnout with 13,429 visitors and 820<br />
exhibitors from 39 countries, comprising<br />
some of the world’s leading shipyards,<br />
maritime equipment manufacturers and<br />
service providers.<br />
There to promote Singapore as a gateway<br />
to Asia, Mrs. Lim Hwee Hua, Minister of<br />
State for Transport and Finance, was one<br />
of the invited guests who opened both the<br />
exhibition and pavilion. She was also a<br />
keynote speaker at the opening conference<br />
on 8 June, 2005.<br />
A steady stream of ship owners, agents and<br />
suppliers visited the 36m 2 SembCorp Marine<br />

booth during those four days. The event<br />
provided many opportunities to strengthen and<br />
expand the current network of partnerships as<br />
well as build new relationships. Long<br />
partnerships, some over 30 years old, were<br />
once again renewed during the exhibition. New<br />
friends were also made amongst other<br />
customers, shipyards, and suppliers from all<br />
over the world.<br />
Working together, the three sister yards also<br />
explored new ways of collaboration in enabling<br />
SembCorp Marine to synergise strengths and<br />
offer more value to customers.<br />
The exhibition ended on Friday, June 10, 2005<br />
and was a success for SembCorp Marine and<br />
her shipyards. The Group looks forward to<br />
participating in the next Nor-Shipping exhibition,<br />
which will be held in 2007.<br />

Networking in Norway<br />
While the exhibition was a good chance to introduce<br />
SembCorp Marine’s services to the global market, the four-day<br />
event was also an opportunity to renew old partnerships and<br />
make new friends. The SembCorp Marine group of shipyards<br />
played host to a series of private dinner parties to build<br />
bonds and strengthen the network in Norway and Europe.<br />
6.6.2005 ● Sembawang <strong>Shipyard</strong> organised a dinner onboard a yacht for their<br />
Norwegian alliance partners and other customers.<br />

SMF Mr. Teo Siong Seng, as well as other delegates from the Ministry<br />

and suppliers and get to know each other better.<br />
