Marine & Offshore Landscape  

Leading the Global Marine and Offshore Engineering Market                                                             
It may be in the North Sea, the Gulf of Mexico or in the Middle East – but there’s a high chance that a jack-up rig extracting oil and gas offshore was designed or built by a Singapore-based company. Singapore is the top player in the global market for oil and gas drilling units and offshore support vessels, and local conglomerates Keppel and SembCorp are renowned players in the global industry.

Today, Singapore is the largest manufacturer of jack-up rigs, with 70 per cent of the world market. It has secured some 70 per cent of the global market for the conversion of Floating Production Storage Offloading units, and another 20 percent share of the world market in ship repair.

A Cluster of Marine-Related Expertise
The marine and offshore industry is on a roll, buoyed by high oil and gas prices and an ageing offshore fleet. Singapore has benefited much from boom, having carved a reputation for strong project management capabilities, consistent high quality and timely delivery. An expert cluster of marine-related service companies such as those providing classification services, maritime law and insurance services, and offshore support services has developed here. The industry also reaps significant gains from the country’s robust and dynamic supply chain and precision engineering infrastructure. In 2007, output from the marine and offshore industry hit S$13 billion. The following year 2008 the figure increased to $16.80 billion and last year 2009 despite economic slow down the industry managed a creditable figure of  $16.83 billion.
