ASL Marine wins deals

Singapore shipyard ASL Marine has won three shipbuilding contracts worth S$126 million ($91.1 million). The three ships will be delivered in 2010.

The first contract with Belgian group DEME is for a self-propelled cutter suction dredger with a barge loading facility and a total installed power of about 13,000 kW. The two other contracts are repeat orders from an unidentified European customer for two units of emergency response and rescue vessels. The vessels will be deployed in the North Sea to support offshore oil and gas exploration and production activities.

The new contracts would bring ASL’s outstanding order book to more than S$700 million ($507 million).
