BUSINESSFundamental demandAt the Asia Oil & Gas Conferencein June, CB Choo, CEO of KeppelCorporation and Chairmanof Keppel O&M, shared withSri Jegarajah of CNBC Asia onthe industry’s outlook and thechallenges and opportunities inthe face of the Gulf of Mexicocrisis.Is there fear within the industrythat we are going to see aregulatory backlash arising fromthe oil spill incident in the USGulf of Mexico?The moratorium that the USgovernment declared in the USGulf is going to affect all the rigsthere and their operators.Many of them will not wait untilthe moratorium is lifted. Theywill likely move the rigs outbecause there are deepwaterareas in other parts of the worldwhich need such rigs for drillingactivities.The authorities may swing theother way and be overly strict.When that happens, the costwill go up for drillers and oilcompanies, and that wouldaffect the business in the end.Will the regulatory backlash createpressure on margins for yourcompany?What we will see is that new rigswill be required because the oldand less capable rigs may not beallowed to drill in deepwater wells.We need to have a larger sphere ofsafety, not only on the rig, but alsoall the equipment that goes intothe rig.To make sure that things don’t gowrong, there will be more lines ofdefense to ensure that there is noblowout, so all this will add costto the industry. We are in a goodposition to provide this support tothe industry.Will we see a slowdown in newrig orders? Or could this beoffset by increased services andmaintenance contracts?For shipyards like Keppel, we canbuild new rigs, as well as repairand upgrade them.We think there will be morestringent safety requirements andsurvey compliances. There will beless deferment for inspections andsurveys, and fewer waivers.“With a strong balance sheet,we are well-positioned to seizeopportunities as the economyrecovers and capture valuein our key businesses anddeliver sustainable returns toshareholders.”CB ChooCEO of Keppel Corporation andChairman of Keppel O&MFundamentally, the industryoutlook remains sound asoil demand, particularly, inemerging countries in Asia, isrising and is likely to continue torise.Looking at the outlook for the restof the year, and possibly into 2011,how is your orderbook looking?It is better than what we feared,while at the same time, it is not asgood as what we want. This year,our yards are still busy. Since lastyear, Keppel has had zero debt.OffshoreMarine May – June 20105

TECHNOLOGYA squeaky-clean solutionBefore the cleaningAfter the cleaningClose-up pictures of the tank surface conditions before and after cleaning using Bio-OSRThe surface condition oTank cleaning is a necessaryprocedure for tankers before theyundergo repair or conversions.The conventional tank cleaningmethod can be a potentiallydangerous operation as it requiresa large number of workers to enterthe tanks to manually scrape offthe oily sludge attached to thebulkheads and the interior.they also contain Volatile OrganicCompounds, which are toxic tohuman beings.In view of the potential hazards,KOMtech has developed a moreenvironmentally-friendly, effectiveand safer solvent, Bio-Oil & SludgeRemover (Bio-OSR) for tankcleaning.After the sludge has beenremoved from the tanks, tanksurfaces, both bulkheads and theinterior of the tanks have to bethoroughly cleaned. Conventionalpetrochemical-based solventsare normally used to clean thesurface. These solvents are madeof non-renewable petroleum andpetrochemical products, and theyare highly flammable. In addition,Unlike conventional cleaningsolvents Bio-OSR is formulatedwith biodiesel and some specialadditives, to meet the safetystandard and heavy duty cleaningrequirement. Bio-OSR is effectivein removing oily contaminantsassociated with oil storage andproduction systems. It has beentested in the shipyard and receivedpositive feedback.28OffshoreMarine May – June 2010

TECHNOLOGYOriginalconditionAfter cleaningusing Bio-OSRf FPSO heavy fuel oil tank before and after the cleaning with Bio-OSRTank cleaning is a necessary procedure for tankersbefore they undergo repairs or conversionsIn terms of physical and chemicalproperties, impact on humanhealth and the environment,and effectiveness in tankcleaning, Bio-OSR has advantagesover the conventional OSRs.Bio-OSR is much less flammableand combustible. It is not harmfulto humans or the environment. Itis ten times less toxic than tablesalt and does not contain anyhazardous air pollutants or ozonedepleting chemicals.Bio-OSR is highly biodegradable.If it is spilled accidentally, Bio-OSR biodegrades four to fivetimes faster than petroleumdiesel. In addition, it is madefrom renewable feedstock, andits production process generatesless hazardous waste than that ofpetroleum diesel.In addition, Bio-OSR is anexcellent solvent for heavy, waxyoil and sludge as it has a Kauributanol(KB) value as high as 60.Conventional OSR and petroleumdiesel, by comparison, onlyhave a KB value of around 50.Another feature of Bio-OSR is itsnatural lubricating property. Itwill lubricate the equipment andmachinery parts being cleaned.Currently, an enhanced version ofBio-OSR is being developed andprovide a dry surface without anyoily residual.OffshoreMarine May – June 201029

PEOPLEPassion and compassion“We have to know the strengthsand weaknesses of our people,and match the right persons tothe right jobs. In order to knowour people, we have to spend timewith them. Bosses must set goodexamples and show their peoplethat they care for them,” he said.“Chua Chor Teck always showed hisconcern for the young people andgave them opportunities to shine.This is something that I have alsocome to embrace.”Topping off an inspiring 39-year career with the group, Goh Boon Kiat shares his passion for thebusiness and compassion for the peopleIn a transient job market, fiveyears might seem like a long timeto stay in one company. After all,according to the latest statisticsfrom the manpower ministry, theaverage Singaporean stays in hisor her job for a tad under twoyears, before making the switchfor another.“A management style that overemphasises performance doesn’tbreed loyalty. Even at senior levels,the people tend to be shortsighted– they are driven by figures notownership. They do what isrequired, and that’s it.“The challenge is how we canmotivate people to give their best,and think and act in the interest ofthe company over the long term,”said Goh Boon Kiat, who recentlyretired as a Director of KeppelSingmarine, and for TechnologyForesight at KOMtech.“I think this is something that,at Keppel, we have managed todo well,” mused the gentlemanof 62, who had spent his entirecareer as a Keppelite, playingpivotal roles in the offshore andmarine businesses, includingthe integration of Keppel O&Min 2002.The ‘secret’ that continues to fuelgenerations of resilient Keppeliteslike himself, Goh reveals, is asimple combination of passionand compassion – passion forthe business and compassion forthe people.Goh remembers being packed offon his first overseas stint in themid 70s by Chua Chor Teck, thelate MD of Keppel Shipyard. “I wasassigned to study the feasibility ofsetting up a Philippine yard, afterjust three to four years in Keppel.Back then, I didn’t even knowthe proper methods of assessingcommercial acquisitions,” he said.The Philippines was a captivemarket served by some 3,000 shipsthat provided the main mode oftransport across its 7,000 islands.The fleet owners, 90 percent ofwhom were Chinese, were largelydissatisfied with the servicesprovided by a handful of poorlyrun local shipyards.“I thought that if we were there,we would be able to serve thecustomers much better,” said Goh,who returned to headquarterswith a positive recommendation,only to be sent right back againto set up the new yard. “ChuaChor Teck told me, ‘If you think it’sgood, then you go!’”“All I can say is that, it was a leap30OffshoreMarine May – June 2010

PEOPLEof faith,” Goh laughs. “We didn’teven have a piece of land to beginwith. He had literally put CB Chooand me there to start up fromscratch.”And from scratch it was inBatangas where Keppelestablished its first overseas yard.“A lot of ground work was needed.We even had to develop a poolof subcontractors to support ouroperations. These people weremainly fisherman and farmers whoworked for us on a part time basisand we had to provide training forall of them,” Goh recalls.Goh eventually became the VP ofKeppel Philippines Shipyard, andone of the pioneers of KeppelGroup’s first significant overseasventure. Upon returning toSingapore in the 80s, he went onto assume several senior positionsacross Keppel’s subsidiariesincluding that of GM and Directorat Keppel FELS.Then, in 2000, he was thrownanother challenge to lead ataskforce in the restructuring ofKeppel’s offshore and marinebusinesses, a move that wouldthrust the group as the globalindustry leader.“In the first year of the integration,we were able to achieve costsavingsof about $17 million, justby putting people together andkeeping them focused,” he said.Following the successfulrestructuring exercise, Goh wasassigned to head specialisedshipbuilding arm, an instrumentalrole for which he is wellremembered.“I chose to focus KeppelSingmarine on the building ofOffshore Support Vessels (OSVs)because the offshore market waspicking up and there would be aneed for such vessels,” he shared.“Moreover, the main shipyardswith that were experienced in theconstruction of offshore supportvessels were located in Europe,where costs are high; KeppelSingmarine would have a costadvantage over these Europeanyards.”Under Goh’s leadership, KeppelSingmarine quickly rose to becomeone of the world’s foremostshipbuilding yards with its owndesigns and engineering expertisefor OSVs and tugboats.“I couldn’t have done it all alone.A leader must be supported bygood people. I had the opportunityof picking a formidable team forKeppel Singmarine – includingHoe Eng Hock, Lee Tai Kwee,Toh Ko Lin and Edmund Lek – whoworked well with one another, andwho stayed with me throughout,”Goh said.“When I was planning to retire,I knew that my people were readyto takeover,” he added confidently.Goh Boon Kiat (second from left) sharing a light moment with Hoe Eng Hock (second from right),ED of Keppel Singmarine, and colleagues at a naming ceremonyAs Goh closes an exciting chapterof his career at Keppel, he plans tospend more time with his familyand friends, as well as to perfecthis swing on the greens. But mostof all, he looks forward to continuehis lifetime vocation as a mentor,sharing his time, counsel andresources generously with whoeverneeds it.OffshoreMarine May – June 201031
