If you are into US mkts, you may want to check out Transocean RIG.

MM - Thanks for your kind tip. I'm not into the US mkts. But deepsea oil exploration will be with us for a long long time. Good to keep KC in the portfolio.

Keppel Corp, the world's top offshore rig builder said its wholly-owned unit Keppel Verolme BV has stopped work on the MPU Heavy Lifter project after MPU Offshore Lift ASA petitioned for bankruptcy in Norway.

The project was worth 140 million euros ($221 million), and Keppel Verolme said it has received payments from MPU to meet all costs incurred to date

Not vested. From CIMB:-

MPU submits petition for bankruptcy

Keppel Corp announced that its Netherlands subsidiary, Keppel Verolme BV has received a notice from MPU Offshore Lift ASA (MPU) that it has decided to submit a petition for bankruptcy in Norway. Therefore Keppel Verolme has stopped work on the MPU Heavy Lifter project immediately.

To recap, the contract was awarded to Keppel Verolem in Dec -06 at Euro 140m for the construction of a floating heavy lifter for the purpose of decommissioning of offshore structures. Keppel Verolme has received payments from MPU for all costs it has incurred to date on the project. The project was originally scheduled for delivery in 1Q09.

Comments Insufficient financing from MPU. Industry sources said that the vessel is highly complex and has resulted in cost overruns compared to the original budget. According to rigzone, MPU is still trying to secure for financing to complete the project. The estimated cost increase to finalise the project is approximately Euro100m. Keppel unlikely to takeover heavy lift vessel. While the next cause of action has yet to be decided, the ownership of the vessel remains with MPU and we believe it is unlikely for Keppel to complete the project and sell in the open market.

More sell down expected.
Following last week’s negative newsflow pertaining to variation order dispute with Fred Olsen Energy over the cost of semi-submersible upgrade, we believe Keppel’s share price could be further dampened by the bankruptcy petition of MPU.

Impact estimated to be about S$12-18m for Keppel Offshore & Marine. We believe Verolme’s earnings could be dampened due to the work freeze and inability to take on new jobs from other yards in such a short notice. We estimate loss of earnings could be about S$12-18m in total from FY08 to FY09.

Valuation and recommendation
Earnings estimates trimmed by 0.4-1% for FY08-FY09 for Keppel O&M as a result of the cancellation of the current contract. However our target price remains at S$13.70, still based on sum-of-the-parts valuation. Maintain Outperform.

Keppel Corp wins US$405 mln Scorpion contract

SINGAPORE - Singapore rig-builder Keppel Corp said on Monday that its unit Keppel FELS has won a contract from Norway's Scorpion Offshore to build a deepwater semi-submersible rig worth US$405 million.

Thanks Winston, I am keeping track of what Keppel Corp and Semb Marine are building for their customers; cos they have an impact on the companies I own (i.e. Ezra and Swiber).

Keep the updates flowing. :)
