The work is being carried out by a team of project managers from both Shiprepair and Offshore Divisions within MSE. The news that there was a recent merger between Sembawang Corporation and ST Industries will not affect the current make-up of the Singapore shiprepair industry. ST Industries' repair yard in Tuas was not included in the merger, and therefore will remain autonomous from Sembawang Shipyard, which is also being operated autonomously from Jurong Shipyard Ltd. (JSL) despite a merger, carried out last year, between these two compa- nies. There are a total of four VLCCs recently under repair in Singapore's Sembawang Shipyard, and the yard continues its dominance of the cruise vessel repair market with three such projects already completed this year: Norske Cruises' 4,042-grt Sea Goddess 11; White Star Cruises' 2,248-grt Star Flyer; and PT Pelayaran Nasional Indonesia's 14,501-grt Kerinci, which has been at the yard since January undergoing a major refurbishment due to be completed in July. Hitachi Zosen (Singapore) has now completed the nine-month period FPSO conversion, which is the yard's first, of the 131,484 dwt Rang Dong. The vessel, formerly the Proster, is to be operated by SBM Engineering for a joint ven- ture company Japan Vietnam Petroleum Co. (JVPC), which involves Mitsubishi Diamond off the Vietnam coast, on the Rang Dong oilfield. Jurong Shipyard Ltd. (JSL) is Singapore's most successful yard in the conversion market, with no less than three major projects currently underway, having recently completed another two. The contracts completed were the Juno 96 project, a 357,600-dwt conventional tanker con- verted to FPSO for Pemex, now named Ta'Kuntah, and the Modec Venture 1 project, which saw a FSU upgraded to FPSO status for Japan's Modec. The three conversion projects currently in the yard all involve contracts from Brazil's Petrobras. The P40 storage unit is a former der- rick barge, named DB100, owned by McDermott; the P37, formerly Seatankers' 246,051-dwt conventional tanker Friendship, is a floating storage unit (FSU); and the P38, for- merly World-Wide Shipping's 261,729 dwt VLCC World Eminence, is a FPSO. Keppel Shipyard (Tuas) is also involved in the FPSO conversion market with the 140,905 dwt Ruby Princess (ex Knock Davie) FPSO cur- rently being converted for Nortrans, the unit to be operated on the Vang Tau oilfield off the Vietnamese coast for a joint venture between Petronas (Malaysia) and Carigali (Vietnam). She is due for delivery in the third quarter of this year. Keppel has also currently completed the 135,015 dwt Petroleo Nautipa (ex Knock Buie) FPSO project, also for Nortrans, for use on the Kiame oilfield off Angola for Ranger Oil. The yard also has the FPSO SPU 4 (formerly the Shell Fulmar FPSO), at the yard awaiting an upgrading contract from new owners Care Offshore. Other conversion work includes the Peregrine IV project (hull to drillship) for Houston's Falcon Drilling. From the large tanker market, the yard is currently repairing the 279,986 dwt Panamanian VLCC Sebu, which is the third VLCC contract won by Keppel this year from WorldWide Shipping Agencies. Other ships currently under repair include OMI Corp.'s 155,869 dwt Liberian tanker Cairo Sea and Associated Maritime's 274,376 dwt Liberian ore carrier Weser Ore. Maritime Reporter/Engineering News
