2 Sembcorp Marine Ltd • Annual Report 2008 3

Sail-away of FPSO Hai Yang Shi You 117.


Dear ShareholdersSembcorp Marine achieved an outstanding year of solid growthin 2008, posting record highs in revenue and profit.

Record Earnings in 2008Group turnover grew by 12 per cent from $4.5 billionin 2007 to $5.1 billion in 2008, driven mainly by itscore businesses of rig building, ship conversion andoffshore, and ship repair.

At $430 million, profit after tax and minority interest(PATMI), following a one-off charge of $44 million inthe fourth quarter arising from the commercialsettlement with BNP Paribas of foreign exchangetransactions, was 78 per cent higher than the $241million in 2007.

Were this one-off charge of $44 million excluded, thePATMI for 2008 would have been $474 million. Thisis 31 per cent higher than the PATMI for 2007 whichwould have been $362 million had the one-off foreignexchange charge and non-operating items for thatyear been excluded.

Group operating profits recorded an increase of 44per cent from $349 million in 2007 to $502 million in

2008, while group pre-tax profits rose 49 per centfrom $365 million in 2007 to $545 million in 2008.These increases came mainly from the higherrevenue and operating margins from the rig buildingand ship repair businesses, offset by the lowercontributions from the Cosco Shipyard Group.

Earnings per share increased 78 per cent to 20.83cents in 2008. Return on equity improved 80 per centto 29 per cent, while economic value added saw anincrease of 843 per cent to $337 million.

Foreign Exchange TransactionsDuring the year, Sembcorp Marine’s subsidiary JurongShipyard had reached a full and final amicablesettlement with BNP Paribas for the claim of US$50.7million, strictly on commercial basis. Arising from thesettlement, a charge of US$30.0 million was expensedin the Group’s Income Statement in the fourth quarterof 2008. Going forward, any other settlements arisingfrom the foreign exchange transactions, if any, will berecognised as and when they are realised.

continue to be positive in the light of continued globalreliance on oil and gas and the accelerating depletionof oil and gas reserves.

Having weathered through several economic down-cycles since its inception in 1963, Sembcorp Marinehas proven its resilience, adaptability and fortitude.The Group is optimistic about riding through thisdownturn buoyed by a strong $9.0 billion net orderbook for rig building, ship conversion and offshoreprojects, including new orders of $5.7 billion securedin 2008. These marine and offshore engineeringprojects will provide the Group with a solid base-loadof orders to keep its shipyards busy with progressivecompletion and deliveries from 2009 to early 2012.

For ship repair, the Group believes that Singapore’sstrategic location and reputation as an internationalmaritime centre coupled with its strategic alliancesand partnerships fostered with long-term customerswill provide a stable base-load to cushion the impactof the current economic turmoil.

The market for large FPSO units and productionplatforms is expected to remain strong based onowners’ long-term commercial viability of the projects.Such projects have longer gestation periods andconstitute part of the owners’ investment portfoliodesigned to provide future output to replacedepleting reserves.

Supporting the Board Risk Committee (“BRC”) in theimplementation of the Enterprise Risk Management(“ERM”) programme is the ERM Committee – amanagement working committee with members(business unit heads and their CROs) from the variousStrategic Business Units (“SBUs”) and the representativesof the key corporate functions like Risk Management,Internal Audit, Finance, HR, Legal and Investor Relations.This all-inclusive make-up of the ERM Committeeenables a comprehensive and in-depth considerationof the Group’s risk exposures and internal controls.

The ERM Committee has various sub-committees thatlook into certain critical areas in project management,finance, safety, human resource and procurement.These sub-committees are headed by appropriatefunctional heads. They meet regularly to discuss thelatest developments and issues as well as consider andimplement any corresponding mitigation actions. Theoutcome of these discussions are presented and furtherreviewed during the ERM Committee meetings beforetabling to the BRC.

The senior management in consultation with the Boardregularly review the Group’s strategies and operationsto keep in line with the Group’s risk appetite andbusiness objectives. The impact of the changes to thebusiness environment are also considered during thereviews. Key risks that have emerged during the reviewsinclude:

• Project management risks• Financial risks• Health, safety, security & environment risks• Human resource risks• External environment risks• Investment risks• Reputation risks

a. Project management risksAs the Group’s main business activities relate to itsprojects, a significant proportion of the risks reside inthe day-to-day operations of project execution. A setof contract bidding criteria and process flow has beenestablished to guide the subsidiary companies in theirbid for projects. This is further augmented by contractcheck lists by the various specialist departments to

ensure compliance with proper due diligenceprocedures. To tighten variation order (“VO”)management, a set of recommended VO clauses hasbeen developed.

The SBUs provide regular updates on their projectstatus and all issues arising thereon are discussed andaddressed in the project risk management meetingschaired by the Group President/CEO and attended bythe heads of the subsidiary companies and keymanagement staff. The matters updated will includework schedules, costs, work variations, financial andcontractual matters including adherence to paymentsschedules.

b. Financial risksGiven the Group’s wide range of marine & offshoreactivities, exposure to financial risks takes various formsand magnitude. To mitigate these risks, policies andprocedures have been established and communicatedto the Group’s subsidiary companies. Policies coverareas in treasury operations including foreign exchangehedging, credit and inter-company transactions -parameters and limits are set out to institute controlsand appropriate thresholds of approval.

Operationally, the policies seek to minimise the Group’scost of capital, the adverse effects of fluctuations incurrency and interest rate on income and ensure sufficientfunds are available to meet financial obligations andoperational needs. The Group’s treasury activities arecentrally managed at the Sembcorp Marine Group Level.

The CFO heads the finance committee, attended byrelevant key personnel from all the subsidiarycompanies. The key financial risks include the following:

i) Interest Rate Risk

The Group’s policy is to maintain an efficient optimalinterest cost structure using a mix of fixed and variablerate debt, where working capital is financed by variablerate loans. Surplus funds, if any, are placed withreputable banks. The Group obtains additional fundingthrough bank borrowings and leasing arrangements.The Group’s policy is to obtain the most favourableinterest rate available without increasing its foreigncurrency exposure.

ii) Foreign Exchange Risk

The Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk arisingfrom sales and purchases denominated in foreigncurrencies, primarily the US dollar and Euro. To minimiseexposures on foreign exchange risks, the Group arrangesfor natural hedging by matching costs in the samecurrency as sales. Where there are net foreign exchangeexposures, the Group will hedge them. The onlypermitted instruments are plain vanilla forward contractsand spot transactions, managed centrally at GroupTreasury.

iii) Liquidity Risk

To manage liquidity risk, the Group monitors its netoperating cash flow, maintains a level of cash and cashequivalent and secures committed funding facilitiesfrom financial institutions. In assessing the adequacy ofthese facilities, management reviews working capitalrequirements so as to mitigate the effects of fluctuationsin cash flow. Short-term funding is obtained fromoverdraft facilities and bank loans.

iv) Credit Risk

The Group manages credit risk arising from sales tocustomers through a stringent credit evaluation processand regular monitoring thereafter. The managementof credit risk is on an aggregate basis by including allexisting relationships with a particular customer orrelated entities of the same corporate organisation.

c. Health, safety, security & environment risksThe Group Safety Committee continues to work towardsan accident-free environment through a range ofinitiatives and programmes, including:

• Risk assessment & management for the top risksidentified

• Information sharing – past incidents and safetyinnovation projects

• Review and update of the safety Best Practice Manual(“BPM”) in line with statutory requirements andchanges in legislation

• Competency gap analysis and remedial training –collaboration with course providers (localtertiary institutions)

• Validation & audit by external safety consultants• New internal programme – “REV” (review, evaluate

& validate) for identified key areas in confined space,hotwork, work at height, lifting operations & electricalhazards

A new milestone was achieved when a FPSO (Floating,Production, Storage & Offloading) project undertakenjointly by SSPL and SMOE achieved 25 million LTI-free(Lost Time Injury) man-hours and recognition awardfrom the Ministry of Manpower. This was also a newsafety performance record for the customer,ConocoPhillips.

d. Human resource (“HR”) risksThe successful realisation of the Group’s strategic businessplan cannot be possible without the right people inplace. Loss of key senior staff will jeopardise these plans.Recognising this, the Group is always looking to retainand hire the “right” people to maintain and enhanceits competitive edge.

In this respect, comprehensive HR policies for recruitment,compensation and development for employees havebeen established. The Board Executive Resource andCompensation Committee has oversight of the Group’sremuneration policies and oversees management,development and succession plans for key managementpositions. On the working level, the Group HR Committeemeets regularly to address key HR issues.

Key risk areas include management succession,selection and recruitment, compensation and benefits.A succession planning process is in place topromote smooth management transition and minimiseoperational disruptions arising from changes in keypersonnel. Talent management ensures potentialsuccessors are identified and groomed for futuremanagement appointments.

Attractive terms including remuneration, benefits andcareer development opportunities are offered in orderto retain capable staff and attract new ones. Otherschemes include implementing pro-family policies andencouraging work-life balance.

e. External environment risksWith the unfolding of the global economic crisis, it isevident that the developments in the externalenvironment can have far reaching influence and deepimpact on the Group’s activities. Recognising this, theGroup has placed even stronger emphasis on this areawhich basically encompasses everything outside of theGroup’s control. These external environment factorsinclude commodities price volatility, foreign exchangemovements, credit crunch, recession, geo-politics andregulatory environment.

Other than affecting its own operations, some of theGroup’s vendors, contractors, suppliers and customersas well. Given the interdependent relationships, stepshave been taken to minimise adverse impacts, whilemaintaining the Group’s interests. This is evidencedby mutually agreeable payment defermentarrangements worked out with customers facingfinancing difficulties. At the same time, the Groupmonitors its exposures to its customers, vendors andother counterparties such as banks and engagesthem regularly.

f. Investment risksThe Group seeks to grow its business throughorganic growth of its existing capabilities,development of new capabilities andacquisition of business entities or operatingassets. Investment activities, rangingfrom the identification of targets to theundertaking of due diligence exercises, aresupported by a team of experiencedmanagers and augmented by externalprofessionals for specialised services. Thebusiness proposals are risk assessed andevaluated by senior management beforeseeking final Board of Directors’ approval.

g. Reputation risksThe Group values its reputation in the marketand has put in place a communicationprogramme to ensure timely and effectivecommunication of key information to itsstakeholders at all times.

h. Other initiativesIn 2008, in line with the Group’s continual improvementof its internal controls, a new risk-based governanceprogramme, Control Self Assessment ("CSA") wasrolled out in Jurong Shipyard, covering the majorbusiness processes. This exercise was conductedin collaboration with external consultants. Theprogramme will be expanded in scope and extendedto the other SBUs. This programme entails staffto assess their compliance with key controls on aregular basis, highlight deviations and formulateaction plans to rectify deviations. Counter checksby independent parties will be conducted toensure compliance.

The Group will continue to review and improve itsenterprise risk management system, policies andprocesses to ensure relevance and effectiveness towardsachieving its business objectives. This is especially moreessential and critical under current challenging macrofinancial and economic conditions. Nevertheless, theGroup believes that there are opportunities to be seizedamidst the tough times ahead.

While the financial turmoil has a dampening impact onthe world economy and the current oil prices, the long-term fundamentals and outlook for the marine andoffshore industry continue to be positive in the light ofcontinued global reliance on oil and gas and acceleratingdepletion of oil and gas reserves.

The long view is still positive

The International Energy Agency (IEA), in its 2008 WorldEnergy Outlook, forecasts demand for primary energyto grow at a rate of 1.6 per cent each year through2030. Most of the demand will come from emergingareas, particularly China and the Middle East, with Chinaaccounting for 43 per cent of oil demand between 2007and 2030 and Middle East and India each contributingan additional 20 per cent. The Organisation of thePetroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), in its 2008World Oil Outlook, further predicts world oil demandto grow 113.3 mb/d by 2030, an increase of around27 mb/d.

World Economic Outlook

According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in its latest update in January 2009, world growth is projectedto fall to 0.5 per cent in 2009, its lowest rate since World War II. Despite wide-ranging policy actions, financialstrains remain acute, pulling down the real economy. A sustained economic recovery will not be possible untilthe financial sector’s functionality is restored and credit markets are unclogged.

ExxonMobil sees world energy demand growing 1.2per cent per year through 2030, generating theequivalent of 310 mboe/d in 2030 compared with 229mboe/d in 2005. It also foresees that transportationdemand will grow by 40 per cent, power generationby 50 per cent, industrial by 28 per cent andresidential/commercial by 10 per cent.

To meet this growing demand and to offset depletingfield production, new supplies of oil must be found.The average production-weighted decline rate ofworldwide oil fields is about 6.7 per cent for fields thathave passed their production peak. This rate is expectedto grow to 8.6 per cent in 2030. In the long view, thereis a widely held consensus that an increasingly pressingneed exists to find new oil sources. There is also aconsensus that the deepwater frontier represents oneof the best opportunities for finding new large sourcesof oil.

Oil will remain the world’s main source of energy foryears to come

The IEA believes that oil will remain the world’s mainsource of energy for many years to come, even underthe most optimistic of assumptions about thedevelopment of alternative fuel sources. But the sourcesof oil, the cost of producing it and the prices thatconsumers will have to pay are extremely uncertain.The IEA feels that while market imbalances will feedprice volatility, the era of cheap oil is over.

Floaters being planned or under study

There are now 232 floating production systems in serviceworldwide. Floating-production-storage-offloading(FPSO) vessels comprise 62 per cent of the current

Lending their strong support and commitment, senior management representativesparticipated actively in these programmes that focused on health and wellness, active living and work-life balance.

Health & WellnessAs education provided the foundation to effectivehealthcare and disease prevention, the Group held arange of workshops and talks covering topics fromhealthy eating, cancer prevention and HIV/AIDsawareness to smoking cessation, stress managementand cholesterol reduction.

To keep chronic illnesses in check, yards conductedhealth screenings to provide targeted treatment andtimely interventions to employees identified with high-risk ailments such as hypertension, high blood pressure,stroke, high cholesterol and diabetes. Jurong Shipyardfurther continued its Chronic Disease Medical Plan forretired employees, which subsidised the medicaltreatment costs for those diagnosed with chronicillnesses for five years after their retirement.

Special events were also organised to raise awarenessamong staff about healthy and active living. InSeptember 2008, Jurong Shipyard’s annual A.C.T.I.V.E.(All Companies Together in Various Exercises) Day sawemployees enjoying a low-impact half-hour exercisesession where they learnt to use special elastic workoutbands to tone and shape up.

Yards also distributed fruits and nuts during key healthevents to highlight the importance of a high dailyintake of vitamins and minerals. To promote the benefitsof a balanced diet, Jurong SML designated a HealthySandwich Day during the year, offering a sandwichbuffet of healthy vegetables, fillings and sauces.

Various dengue prevention programmes were also inplace at the Group’s yards for the well-being ofpersonnel. Besides educating employees and contractorsabout the disease and proper housekeeping practices,regular inspections were also conducted to identifyand prevent the breeding of Aedes mosquitoes.

Fit & Active LivingTo make exercise convenient and accessible, yardsoffered a wide variety of workplace fitness classes.Featuring both low-impact and high-energy work-outs, these classes ranged from tai chi, yoga, hi-loaerobics and kick-boxing to line dancing and bellydancing to suit employees of different age groupsand interests.

Jurong Shipyard recently replaced its former gymnasiumwith a bigger and better facility to encourage employeesto adopt a regular fitness regime. The new gymnasiumnow offers a comprehensive range of cardio- and

weight-training equipment, supported by part-timetrainer services for employees to engage in full-bodyworkouts. It also featured a well-furbished studio forthe yard’s series of workplace exercise and danceclasses. Both Jurong Shipyard and PPL Shipyard, whichintroduced gymnasium facilities in 2007, have dedicatedworkout days solely for ladies to motivate more femaleemployees to exercise.

Participation in sporting tournaments for games – suchas soccer, basketball, badminton, table-tennis, sepaktakraw and bowling – after work offered another avenueto build team spirit and rapport among staff of alllevels within their yards and across the Group.

During the year, Jurong Shipyard and Jurong SMLorganised treks through the Southern Ridges, one ofSingapore’s latest nature attractions. Besides visitingkey attractions along the nine-kilometre chain ofgreen open spaces, employees tucked into healthyfeasts of fruits at the end of their journeys. SembawangShipyard also held a ‘Get Fit With Your Feet’ event and

a walkathon for employees to build up their stamina,fitness and endurance. Recreational trips to destinationssuch as Pulau Ubin, Bintan, Kukup and Desaru werefurther organised for employees to relax and rechargetheir mind, body and spirit.

workplace improvement. In addition, Mr Selathorais/o KR Suppiah, a lifting supervisor from SMOE, wasrecognised with the Safety & Health Award forSupervisors for his team’s incident-free track record ofmore than three years.

A Robust FrameworkSembcorp Marine maintained a robust health, safetyand environment framework aimed at fostering a safeworking environment for employees and contractors,promoting a proactive safety culture and harnessinginnovation for safety excellence.

This strategy was effectively carried through by allbusiness units via Occupational Health & Safety SteeringCommittees chaired by the managing directors of therespective yards. The strategic directions were furthertranslated to specific action plans by the WorkplaceSafety and Health Committees and Vessel SafetyCoordination Committees, which were thencommunicated to managers and supervisors whowould brief their charges in small groups. Keepingforeign employees in the loop, the yards woulduse various channels and languages to disseminatesafety reminders.

Further emphasising the importance of safety, theGroup’s yards jointly implemented the REV programme

in mid-2008. The three components of the REV strategy– Review, Educate and Validate – were focusedon reinforcing safety and minimising risks at work.

Implemented every quarter, the REV programmeinvolved heightened onboard safety inspections forall vessels and projects, comprehensive multi-lingualsafety briefings with a clear focus on specific risk areasas well as on-site safety audits and proactive riskassessments to heighten safety awareness andminimise the possibility of incidents.

Workplace Safety and Health CultureAll yards within the Group have specific health, safetyand environmental work plans covering safety ineducation, engineering, enforcement, environment,evaluation and efficiency. These plans also includebehavioural-based safety initiatives and promotionactivities that reinforce the safety culture. Thesepromotional initiatives ranged from safety campaignsand innovation competitions to safety quizzes andcontests to encourage greater awareness ofoccupational health and safety.

Where excellence in safety performance was achieved,cash benefits and awards went out to project teams,yard subsidiaries and contractor partners. Some yards,such as Jurong Shipyard, Sembawang Shipyard and

Jurong SML, further implemented a complementarymerit and demerit point system to motivate employeesand contractor partners towards zero-incident andgreater health, safety and environmental performance.

Promoting Greater AwarenessAs a role model in safety, Sembcorp Marine becamea key sponsor in the Ministry of Manpower ‘SafetyStarts with Me’ national campaign, which sought toencourage a proactive attitude and greater involvementtowards safety on a national level.

The Group also held several WSH Innovation Carnivalsto encourage the sharing of creative ideas across itsyards and showcase projects that had enhanced safetyand operational efficiency. Jurong Shipyard, forexample, held a ‘Towards Safety Excellence’ campaignin June 2008, attended by key Ministry of Manpowerrepresentatives. The event saw the launch of a newin-house produced safety DVD on scaffold safety.

That same month, Sembawang Shipyard took adifferent approach by organising its carnival under itsProgramme-based Engagement (ProBE) strategy ofengaging employees and stakeholders to advanceoccupational health and safety standards. The event,themed ‘Safety Starts with Me’, was attended byrepresentatives from the Singapore Civil Defence Force,Traffic Police, National Environment Agency andHealth Promotion Board.

PPL Shipyard also took the initiative to introduce ajoint inspection programme where employees fromother departments were taught to carry out health,safety and environment inspections. Besides fosteringgreater participation in safety monitoring, this initiativeencouraged knowledge exchange and improvedrapport between departments.

Education & TrainingYards within the Group continued to hold safetyinductions to familiarise new employees and contractorworkers with safety rules, regulations and risk assessmentguidel ines before they commenced work.Supplementing these were other internal and externalcourses that focused on safety in specific areas, includingthe usage of aerial platforms, overhead and gantrycranes, fork-lift driving and working at heights.

Reaching out to contractor partners, the yards inSingapore were active supporters of the WorkplaceSafety and Health Council’s bizSAFE programme, whichwould progressively recognise contractors foroccupational health and safety advancements as theystrive for third-party certification. This programmeencouraged contractors to integrate risk managementand workplace safety and health management systemsinto their operations.

Emergency PreparednessEnsuring a high-level of emergency preparedness,Sembcorp Marine included its employees, contractorsand customer partners in its total health, safety, securityand environment as well as risk management strategy.

During the year, more than 148 emergency evacuationdrills were held at workshops and offices as well as onboardvessels and rigs across the Group's yards in Singapore.

The drills, which covered a range of scenarios fromterrorist threats to fire hazards, enabled employeesand partners to practise their emergency responsetechniques and familiarise themselves with emergencyevacuation procedures.

Joint patrols and emergency exercises were alsoconducted together with partners from the SingaporeCivil Defence Force, Singapore Police Force and thePolice Coast Guards to ensure seamless coordinationduring contingencies.

Security ControlsTo mitigate the risk of security threats, Sembcorp Marineand its yards continued to maintain high levels ofvigilance in protecting its people, assets and operations.

In line with international security concerns, increasedprecautions were laid in place in prevention of terrorism.Waterfront and shipside security was also heightenedwith increased close-circuit camera monitoringaround the yards supplemented by daily 24-hoursurveillance patrols.

The yards kept an active vigil with patrols at strategicaccess points and stringent security checks onemployees, visitors and vehicles entering the premises.At Jurong Shipyard, employees and contractorsunderwent additional authentication with a vein-pattern recognition biometric security system andRFID smartcards.

Security personnel were also dispatched upon requestto control access and security onboard vessels and rigswhile in the yards or during sea trials.

Joint Cooperation with PartnersSembcorp Marine’s yards continued to forge closerelationships with various government agencies and

industry associates in the areas of joint cooperationand knowledge sharing in preventing and counteringsafety and security threats.

Jurong Shipyard, together with two neighbouringyards, worked closely again with the JurongWest Neighbourhood Police Centre under the WestZone Shipyard Safety & Security Watch Grouppartnership to reinforce safety and security withinthe yard and its vicinity.

The Group’s yards also participated in variousknowledge sharing activities with external safety andsecurity partners. One such event was the Home TeamWestern Sector Workshop participated by JurongShipyard in February 2008. Organised by the SingaporeCivil Defence Force, the event allowed the yard toexchange knowledge with teams from other industriesand to build stronger links with Home Team personnelfrom the Singapore Civil Defence Force, ImmigrationDepartment, Singapore Police Force and SingaporePrisons Department.

Jurong Shipyard was also invited by the SingaporePolice Force to share its innovation excellence strategyat the SPF 3i (Ideas, Improvement, Innovation)Convention in August 2008.

Towards Greener OperationsUnderstanding the close inter-relationship betweenthe business and the environment, Sembcorp Marineand its yards were constantly seeking greener solutionsfor environmental safety and conservation.

ISO-14001-accredited subsidiaries Sembawang Shipyardand SMOE put in place structured and proactiveenvironmental management systems to ensure thattheir operations complied with the regulatoryrequirements and were in line with industry best practices.

Eco-friendlier production processes, such ashydroblasting and enclosed blasting, were practisedin the shipyards as far as possible to minimise theimpact of yard operations on the environment.

Recycling & ConservationTo optimise resources and minimise wastage, SembcorpMarine and its subsidiaries continued their efforts inthe recycling of by-products and other materials.

At Jurong Shipyard, used copper slag, a by-product ofblasting operations, continued to be recycled by anothersubsidiary, JPL Industries. The copper slag wouldfirst be treated and then used to produce buildingbricks and pavement blocks for sale and yarddevelopment purposes.

Employees were encouraged to adopt the goodpractice of recycling as part of environmentalconservation efforts. The placement of additional binsfor the recycling of paper, plastic and glass at convenient

and strategic venues across the Group’s yards was anadditional measure to enhance recycling participationamong staff.

Resource optimisation was another important focus asthe Group took steps to make energy-saving and eco-efficient processes a way of life in the workshops andoffices. The message of recycling and resourceconservation was also actively communicated toemployees through publicity efforts in various mediumssuch as posters, banners and newsletters.

Enhancing the WorkplaceTo ensure a clean, conducive and safe workenvironment, the Group’s yards continued to instillthe value of good housekeeping among employeesand contractor partners through various initiatives.

At Jurong Shipyard, a Housekeeping Day was designatedevery week in which personnel went through asystematic process of cleaning and tidying theirrespective work areas. PPL Shipyard also implementeda comprehensive housekeeping programme thatincluded weekly inspections and an award recognitionsystem to reward departments with the besthousekeeping practices.

The creation of green spaces was actively undertakenthrough the regular planting of trees and flowers acrossthe Group’s yards. The concept of a ‘Garden Shipyard’environment continued to flourish since the launch ofSembawang Shipyard’s Tree Planting Campaign in2006. The yard held its Tree Planting Day in December2008 to add to its growing showcase of trees andflowering plants in its landscape.

Promoting Community AwarenessSembcorp Marine took its steadfast green commitmentfurther by organising and supporting various greeninitiatives to promote greater environmental awarenesswithin the community.

Sembawang Shipyard took the lead by organising its2008 Green Wave Environmental Care Project, anannual competition which aims to inspire andmotivate youths to develop innovative solutions andideas for environmental protection and improvement.The competition, which was launched in 2003, sawvery positive response this year with a total of 260

The aim was to protect the best interest of its people and the community.

entries from almost 1,000 students from primaryschools, secondary schools, junior colleges, institutesof technical education and tertiary institutions.

The top 50 projects teams were recognised with cashprizes and commendation awards during a ceremonyin January 2009. The contest continued to be atestament of the yard’s close relationship with itsalliance partners – Shell International Trading andShipping Company and BP Shipping – who generouslyprovided the top cash prizes as well as work attachmentopportunities for post-secondary school winners.

In addition, Sembawang Shipyard sponsored theNational University of Singapore Green Carnival inAugust 2008. Supported by the National EnvironmentAgency, the event sought to fight climate changeand promote environmentally sustainable lifestyles.

Another project with the National Environment Agencysaw Sembawang Shipyard participating in the Clean &Green Singapore Schools’ Carnival held during Cleanand Green Week 2008 to encourage environmentalcare and protection among students. More than 15,000students from over 190 schools, from pre-school to pre-tertiary levels, took part in the carnival, which waslaunched by Dr Amy Khor, Senior Parliamentary Secretary,Ministry for the Environment & Water Resources.

The Group’s subsidiary, JPL Industries, was one of thekey sponsors of the “Semakau Corporate EnvironmentalOutreach (CEO) Run 2008” organised by the NationalEnvironmental Agency on 19 October 2008. SeniorManagement from JPL Industries took part in the runand tree planting activities to mark their commitmenttowards environmental conservation and protection.

The evergreen FCC contract will see IGTC’s six Moss-Rosenberg LNG vessels and one membrane LNG carrierundergoing major refits and regular maintenance inSembcorp Marine's Sembawang Shipyard and JurongShipyard from 2009.

Strengthening FCC PartnershipsSembawang Shipyard’s good relationship with itscustomers was also evident from various FCC contractawards and renewals during the year.

EMS Ship Management, formerly known as TESMA,renewed its FCC contract with Sembawang Shipyardin May 2008. With the renewal of the FCC contract,which was signed back in 2002, the yard will continueto be EMS Ship Management’s exclusive partner forthe drydocking and repair of its fleet of owned andmanaged vessels.

The yard also secured two FCC contracts in October2008 from Transocean Eastern Pte Ltd, a subsidiary ofthe world’s largest drilling contractor Transocean Inc,and Norways’ BW Gas ASA, formerly known as BergesenWorldwide Gas.

Transocean Eastern, which controls 26 drilling unitsoperating in Middle East and Asia, is expected to repairand upgrade two to four rigs at Sembawang Shipyardannually. The first rig under the contract, Harvey Ward,arrived the same month for repairs.

Under the FCC contract with BW Gas, SembawangShipyard will carry out repairs for all LNG and LPGcarriers scheduled for docking in the area. A total offour BW Gas vessel dockings are expected in 2009.

Enhancing Operational CapabilitiesSembcorp Marine’s yards built up their capabilitieswith the installation of new facilities and equipmentto further enhance operational effectivenessand competitiveness.

Jurong Shipyard saw the official opening of a newProject Coordination Centre by Mr Tan Kwi Kin,Sembcorp Marine’s Group President & Chief ExecutiveOfficer, at the yard’s Tanjong Kling location onDecember 22, 2008. Able to house up to 700 persons,the 4,800 m2 facility serves as a strategic hub for theeffective planning, coordination and execution of thevarious ship repair, shipbuilding, ship conversion, rigbuilding and offshore engineering projects in the yard.

New equipment and machinery were also added toenhance the operational efficiency of the Group’s yards.Jurong Shipyard saw the installation of two units of

300-tonne cranes to increase its cranage capacity, theinstallation of three new enclosed blasting chambersand the addition of blasting equipment to complementits growing marine and offshore engineering operations.

To further boost its offshore engineering andconstruction capabilities, SMOE added a rigid threadcutting machine, an automated pipe spool weldingmachine, a band saw machine, a hydraulic puncherand a 250-tonne trawler crane to increase its productionefficiency and capacity.

Beyond Singapore, Sembcorp Marine’s Indonesiansubsidiary P.T. SMOE further expanded its facilitiesto provide stronger support to the Group’s home-based operations. P.T. SMOE Indonesia increased itsoperational capabilities to handle more than 500,000manhours of work per month with the launch of itsnew Phase II yard development.

Officially opened on November 14, 2008 by BapakDrs. H. Ismeth Abdullah, Governor of Kepulauan RiauProvince, the new yard development on Batam Islandfeatures enhanced facilities. These include three largeworkshops each totalling 20,460 m2 and measuring110m x 62m, a new auto-blasting and paintingworkshop equipped with one of the largest and mostsophisticated machinery in South East Asia, a reinforced275m long quay wall that can now accommodatejackets of up to 15,000 tonnes or decks of up to 10,000

tonnes, an additional 310m skidway, and a well-equipped medical centre with its own ambulance.

In addition to equipment and facilities upgrades, theyards also enhanced their information managementsystems, resulting in improved information sharingand more efficient work processes. Security forinformation systems was also increased to protect theyards’ intellectual and technological assets.

• Complete SensorThe Complete Sensor developed by JurongIntegrated Services enables the timely detection ofpeople and objects in the path of travellingmachinery such as overhead cranes, CNC plate-

cutting machines, andwelding gantries to preventcollision incidents. Whenan obstruction is detected,the system’s sensing linetriggers off a tactile switchwhich temporarily disablesthe machine. It also comes

with an emergency switch which serves as anadditional back-up for greater protection. Thisinnovation has resulted in enhanced safety in theworkshops and greater morale among employees.

• Rudder Nut TurnerThe Rudder Nut Turner is an innovative deviceconceived by Sembawang Shipyard’s MechanicalDepartment to provide a stable support platformfor the refitting of the rudder nut during propulsionworks. This is a more stableand secure alternative thanthe conventional turntablemethod, where workersare exposed to material-falling hazards.

The device also enables easier alignment and greaterease when refitting rudder nuts. Besides minimisingthe likelihood of incidents and pinch-point injuries,higher productivity is also achieved with refittingtime sped up by 35%.

• Portable PlatformThe Portable Platform was developed by JurongShipyard and Seah Marine Engineering to providescaffolders with a temporary platform and a securestanding point in the ship’s cargohold for the manualdistribution of scaffold materials in areas where airwinches cannot be set up. Comprising a gratedplatform, the light-weight Portable Platform isdesigned with two secure points made up of fourhooks to be secured to the ladders to provideworkers with a proper foothold instead of havingto juggle their weight on the ladder. This enhancessafety during the scaffold erection process and leadsto increased morale on the job.

• HP HookDesigned to enhance safetywhile working at heights, theHP Hook by Jurong Shipyard’sHull Painting Departmentcreates an extended outlet forthe secure hooking of thesafety harness to scallop holes.The HP Hook also doubles upas an additional anchor pointfor the second safety life lineto prevent falling and swinging hazards. Thissignificantly enhances safety and reduces fallinghazards during scaffold work.

• Semi-Automatic Lifting Gears (Spider Grab)The Semi-Automatic Lifting Gears innovation, alsoknown as the Spider Grab, is a customised liftingdevice with a semi-automatic locking mechanismcreated by Sembawang Shipyard’s Hull Departmentto aid the process of lifting and handling irregularshaped outfitting items. It eliminates the needto weld eye plates, thusenhancing work efficiencywhile minimising the safetyrisks and material damageassociated with hotwork andgrinding. The device, whichcan be operated from adistance, also enables workersto keep a safe distance fromthe lifting works.

COMPETITIVE EDGE & CAPABILITIES


the development of high-performance proprietarydesigns and critical components for offshore rigs andships. Successful proprietary designs previouslydeveloped by the Group included the Pacific Class 375deep drilling jack-up by PPL Shipyard and the JubileeClass 2,646 TEU containership by Jurong Shipyard.

Marine technology was another focal point. In August2008, Sembcorp Marine Technology entered intoan agreement with technology partners fromSPRING Singapore, Ngee Ann Polytechnic’s Marine& Offshore Centre for Innovation, SIF Technologies andMemiontec to develop the region’s first chemical-freeballast water treatment system.

The project aimed to develop a system in line withnew regulations from the International MaritimeOrganisation that required all newly built vessels tobe fitted with a ballast water treatment system tominimise the risk of harmful aquatic organisms beingspread by ballast water from ships.

Turning Knowledge into Intellectual AssetsThe transformation of proprietary knowledge andinnovations to intellectual assets was an importantfocus in the Group’s strategy of maintaining itscompetitive advantage.

To harness the full value of these intellectual assets,patents were progressively filed for the Group’sproprietary production processes and workplaceinnovations. In 2008, patent rights were awarded toJurong Shipyard for its breakthrough, award-winning‘Load-out and Mating-in-Dock’ technique to acceleratethe semi-submersible construction process. This proventechnique, which enabled the simultaneousconstruction and subsequent integration of the rig’s

upper and lower hulls in a drydock environment, hadbeen successfully used by the yard to deliver two unitsof the fifth-generation ultra-deepwater semi-submersibles – Development Driller I and DevelopmentDriller II – in 2005.

Another highly successful patent-pending engineeringinnovation pioneered by Jurong Shipyard was the‘Transverse Skidding’ semi-submersible constructiontechnique, which complements the ‘Load-outand Mating-in-Dock’ technique for the fast-trackbuilding and sequential assembly of multiple semi-submersible rigs.

By leveraging these innovative techniques, the yardwas able to optimise its capacity to build more thantwo semi-submersible units in a year, as proven by thesuccessful deliveries of two sixth-generation ultra-deepwater semi-submersible units, West Sirius andWest Taurus, in 2008.

Innovating for Workplace ImprovementThe Group believes in unleashing the full potential ofemployees’ ideas for continuous workplaceimprovement. It actively promoted the proactivecontribution of innovative solutions among employeesthrough competitions and carnivals in whichoutstanding innovations were showcased andhonoured. By encouraging employees to transformtheir ideas to practical workplace innovations, it wasable to reap both tangible and intangible benefits,including cost-savings arising from productivityimprovements, improved quality, safety and betteremployee morale.

Some notable innovations developed by employeesduring the year include:

Load-out and Mating-in-Dock technique.

There were no changes in the Directors’ interests in the Company and related corporations between the end of the financialyear and 21 January 2009.

Share-based Incentive Plans

The Company’s Share Option Plan, Performance Share Plan and Restricted Stock Plan (collectively, the “Share Plans”) were approvedand adopted by the shareholders at an Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company held on 31 May 2000 and modified atthe Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company held on 21 April 2005.

The Executive Resource and Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Company has been designated as the Committeeresponsible for the administration of the Share Plans. The Committee comprises the following members, all of whom are directors:

Goh Geok Ling (Chairman)Tan Pheng HockJoseph Kwok Sin Kin




Share-based Incentive Plans (cont’d)

The Share Option Plan and Restricted Stock Plan are the incentive scheme for directors and employees of the Company and itssubsidiaries (the “Group”) whereas the Performance Share Plan is aimed primarily at key executives of the Group. Under theRestricted Stock Plan, the managerial participants of the Group will be awarded restricted shares, while the non-managerialparticipants of the Group will receive their awards in an equivalent cash value.

The Share Plans are intended to attract, retain and incentivise participants to higher standards of performance and encouragegreater dedication and loyalty by enabling the Company to give recognition to past contributions and services; as well as motivatingparticipants to contribute to the long-term prosperity of the Group.

The Share Option Plan provides the Company with means whereby non-executive directors and employees of the Group, andcertain categories of persons who can make significant contributions through their close working relationship with the Group, suchas employees of the Company’s Parent Group and non-executive directors and employees of the Company’s associates, are givenan opportunity to participate in the equity of the Company.

The Company designates Sembcorp Industries Ltd as the Parent Group.

The Performance Share Plan and Restricted Stock Plan award fully-paid shares to participants to achieve pre-determined targetsthat create and enhance economic values for shareholders of the Company, and/or to accomplish time-based service conditions.Awards will be released to participants as fully-paid shares, or their equivalent cash value or combinations thereof, free-of-chargeprovided that the conditions of the awards are achieved and subject to approval by the Committee.

Awards granted under the Performance Share Plan are released at the end of the performance period only when the pre-determinedtargets have been achieved. Awards granted under the Restricted Stock Plan vest only after the satisfactory completion of time-based service conditions, or where the award is performance related, after a further period of service beyond the performance targetcompletion date. No minimum vesting period is prescribed under the Restricted Stock Plan and the length of the vesting periodin respect of each award will be determined on a case-by-case basis.

The shares are settled by physical delivery of shares by way of issuance of new shares or existing shares procured by the Companyfor transfer to the employees or cash in lieu of the shares.

No share options were granted in 2007 and 2008. Restricted shares were awarded to managerial participants of the SCM Groupwith the objective to eventually replace share options as a long term incentive plan. Under the Restricted Stock Plan, participantsmust achieve pre-determined targets that create and enhance economic values for shareholders of the Company. If these targetsare achieved, managerial participants are awarded with restricted shares while non-managerial participants will receive theequivalent value in cash.

Sembcorp Marine Share Option Plan

Under the rules of the Share Option Plan, participants who ceased to be employed by the Group, Parent Group or Associate byreason of ill health, injury or disability, redundancy, retirement at or after the legal retirement age, retirement before the legalretirement age, death, etc, or any other event approved by the Committee, may be allowed by the Committee to retain theirunexercised Options. The Committee may determine the number of shares comprised in that Option which may be exercisedand the period during which such Option shall be exercisable, being a period not later than the expiry of the Exercise Period inrespect of that Option. Such Option may be exercised at any time notwithstanding that the date of exercise of such Optionfalls on a date prior to the first day of the Exercise Period in respect of such Option.

Other information regarding the Share Option Plan is as follows:

(i) The exercise price of the options can be set at market price or a discount to the market price not exceeding 20% of the marketprice in respect of options granted at the time of grant. Market price is the volume-weighted average price for the shares onthe Singapore Exchange for three consecutive trading days prior to grant date of that Option. For all options granted to date,the exercise prices are set at market price.

(ii) The options can be exercised 12 months after the grant for market price options. Further vesting period for the exercise ofthe options may be set. The Group imposed a further vesting over 4 years for managers and above for retention purposes.

(iii) In 2008, options were either settled by the issuance of new SCM shares or by issuance of treasury shares of SCM.

(iv) The options granted expire after 5 years for non-executive directors, and 10 years for the employees of Group and ParentGroup.

Sembcorp Marine Performance Share Plan

Under the Performance Share Plan, the awards granted conditional on performance targets are set based on medium-term corporateobjectives at the start of each rolling three-year performance qualifying period. A specific number of performance shares shall beawarded at the end of the 3-year performance cycle depending on the extent of the achievement of the performance conditionsestablished at the onset.

The performance levels were calibrated based on Wealth Added and Total Shareholders’ Return. For each performancemeasure, three distinct performance levels are set. A minimum of threshold performance must be achieved to trigger anAchievement Factor, which in turn determines the number of shares to be finally awarded. Performance shares to be deliveredwill range between 0% to 150% of the original award.

Senior management participants are also required to hold a minimum percentage of the shares released to them under thePerformance Share Plan to maintain a beneficial ownership stake in the Group, for the duration of their employment or tenurewith the Group. A maximum cap is set based on a multiple of the individual participant’s Annual Base Salary. Any excesscan be sold off, but in the event of a short fall, they have a two calendar year period to meet the minimum percentagerequirement.

With the Committee’s approval on the achievement factor for the achievement of the performance targets for theperformance period 2005 to 2007, a total of 1,627,500 (2007: 369,000) performance shares were released, of which anadditional 542,500 (2007: nil) performance shares were awarded for the over-achievement of the performance targets.These shares were released via the issuance of treasury shares.

Sembcorp Marine Restricted Stock Plan

Since 2007, share option grant ceased. Restricted shares were awarded to managerial participants of the SCM Group with theobjective to eventually replace share options as a long term incentive plan.

Under the Restricted Stock Plan, the awards granted conditional on performance targets are set based on corporate objectives atthe start of each rolling two-year performance qualifying period. The performance criteria are set and performance levels for therestricted shares are calibrated based on Return on Equity and Total Shareholders’ Return. For awards granted before 2008, threedistinct performance levels are set for each performance measure. A minimum threshold performance must be achieved to triggeran Achievement Factor, which in turn determines the number of shares to be finally awarded. Based on the criteria, restricted sharesto be delivered for awards granted from 2006 onwards will range from 0% to 130% of the original award.

For awards granted in 2008, four distinct performance levels are set for each performance measure. A minimum threshold performancemust be achieved to trigger an Achievement Factor, which in turn determines the number of shares to be finally awarded. Basedon the criteria, restricted shares to be delivered will range from 0% to 150% of the original award.

The managerial participants of the Group will be awarded restricted shares under the Restricted Stock Plan, while the non-managerialparticipants of the Group will receive their awards in an equivalent cash value. This cash-settled notional restricted shares awardfor non-managerial participants is known as the Sembcorp Challenge Bonus.

A specific number of restricted shares shall be awarded at the end of the two-year performance cycle depending on the extent ofthe achievement of the performance conditions established at the onset. There is a further vesting of three years after the performanceperiod, during which one-third of the awarded shares are released each year to managerial participants. Non-managerial participantswill receive the equivalent in cash at the end of the two-year performance cycle, with no further vesting conditions.

Senior management participants are also required to hold a minimum percentage of the shares released to them under the RestrictedStock Plan to maintain a beneficial ownership stake in the Group, for the duration of their employment or tenure with the Group.A maximum cap is set based on a multiple of the individual participant’s Annual Base Salary. Any excess can be sold off, but inthe event of a shortfall, they have a two calendar year period to meet the minimum percentage requirement.

These notes form an integral part of the financial statements.

The financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 24 February 2009.

1 Domicile and Activities

The Company is a limited liability company, which is incorporated in the Republic of Singapore. Its immediate andultimate holding company is Sembcorp Industries Ltd (“SCI”) which is incorporated in the Republic of Singapore.Related companies in these financial statements refer to subsidiaries and associates of SCI.

The Company domiciles in Singapore and its registered office and principal place of business is located at 29 TanjongKling Road, Singapore 628054.

The principal activities of the Company are the provision of management services and investment holding. Theprincipal activities of the subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures are stated in Note 41.

2 Summary of significant accounting policies

2.1 Basis of preparation

The financial statements are presented in Singapore dollars (“SGD” or “$”) and all values are rounded to the nearestthousand (“$’000”) except when otherwise indicated. The financial statements have been prepared in accordancewith Singapore Financial Reporting Standards (“FRS”).

The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except where otherwise described in theaccounting policies below.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with FRS requires management to make judgements, estimatesand assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities,income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates arerecognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected.

Information about significant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgements in applying accounting policiesthat have the most significant effect on the amount recognised in the financial statements are discussed in Note 40.

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently by the Group and to all periods presented inthese financial statements.

2.2 Foreign currency

Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements of each company in the Group are measured using the currency of theprimary economic environment in which the company operates (“the functional currency”). The consolidated financialstatements are presented in Singapore dollars, which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency.

Foreign currency transactions and balances

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at foreign exchange rates ruling at thedates of the transactions. At each balance sheet date:

• Foreign currency monetary items are translated into the functional currency using foreign exchange rate rulingat that date.

• Non-monetary assets and liabilities measured at historical cost in foreign currencies are translated into the functionalcurrency using foreign exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.

• Non-monetary assets and liabilities measured at fair value in foreign currencies are translated into the functionalcurrency at foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates the fair value was determined.

Foreign exchange differences arising on the settlement or from translation of monetary items are recognised in theincome statement except for exchange differences arising from monetary items that form part of the Group’s netinvestment in foreign subsidiaries, which are recognised in the Company’s income statement and reclassified toforeign currency translation reserve in the consolidated financial statements. Such exchange differences are releasedto the income statement upon disposal of the investment as part of the gain or loss on disposal.

Foreign exchange differences arising from non-monetary items measured in fair value are recognised directly inequity when non-monetary items’ gains or losses are recognised directly in equity. Conversely when non-monetaryitems’ gains or losses are recognised directly in the income statement, foreign exchange differences arising fromthese items are recognised directly in the income statement.

Foreign operations

The results and financial positions of foreign operations (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationaryeconomy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into thepresentation currency as follows:

• assets and liabilities are translated at foreign exchange rates ruling at the date of the balance sheet,• revenues and expenses are translated at average rates, and• all resulting foreign exchange differences are taken to the foreign currency translation reserve.

On disposal, accumulated foreign currency translation differences are recognised in the consolidated income statementas part of the gain or loss on disposal.

2.3 Consolidation

Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are those companies that are controlled by the Group. Control exists when the Group has the power,directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of a company so as to obtain benefits from itsactivities.

The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are presently exercisable or presently convertible are consideredwhen assessing whether the Group controls another company.

Investments in subsidiaries are stated in the Company’s balance sheet at cost less accumulated impairment losses.The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that controlcommences until the date that control ceases.

All business combinations are accounted for using the purchase method. Under the purchase method, the cost ofan acquisition is measured at the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred orassumed at the date of exchange, plus costs directly attributable to the acquisition. The excess of the Group’s interestin the fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of acquisition is creditedto the income statement in the period of the acquisition.




2. Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d)

Business combinations that involve entities under common control are excluded from the scope of FRS 103. Suchcombinations are accounted at historical cost in a manner similar to the pooling-of-interests method, in the preparationof the consolidated financial statements. Under this method of accounting, the difference between the value of theshare capital issued and the value of shares received is taken to the merger reserve.

The interest of minority shareholders is stated at the minority’s proportion of the fair values of the assets and liabilitiesrecognised. Subsequently, any losses applicable to the minority interest in excess of the minority interest are allocatedagainst the interests of the parent.

Associates

Associates are companies in which the Group has significant influence, but not control, over the financial and operatingpolicies.

The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are presently exercisable or presently convertible are consideredwhen assessing whether the Group has significant influence over another company.

In the Group’s financial statements, they are accounted for using the equity method of accounting from the datethat significant influence commences until the date that significant influence ceases. When the Group’s share of lossesexceeds the carrying amount of the associate (including any other unsecured receivables, that in substance, form partof the Group’s net investment in the associate), recognition of further losses is discontinued unless the Group hasincurred obligations or made payments on its behalf to satisfy obligations of the associate that the Group has guaranteedor otherwise committed on behalf of.

The excess of the Group’s interest in the fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities overthe cost of acquisition is credited to the income statement in the period of the acquisition. Where the auditedfinancial statements are not available, the share of results is arrived at from unaudited management financialstatements made up mainly to the end of the accounting year to 31 December.

Joint Ventures

Joint ventures are those enterprises whose activities the Group has joint control over, established by contractualagreement and requiring unanimous consent for strategic financial and operating decisions.

The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are presently exercisable or presently convertible are consideredwhen assessing whether the Group has joint control over the enterprise.

For incorporated joint ventures, the Group accounts for the joint ventures in the same manner as associates, fromthe date joint control commences until the date that the joint control ceases.

For unincorporated joint ventures, the proportionate share in the unincorporated joint ventures’ individual income,expenses, assets and liabilities are included in financial statements of the Group with items of a similar nature on aline-by-line basis.

The excess of the Group’s interest in the fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities overthe cost of acquisition is credited to the income statement in the period of the acquisition. Where the audited financialstatements are not available, the share of results is arrived at from unaudited management financial statements madeup mainly to the end of the accounting year to 31 December.

Associates and Joint Ventures in the Company’s Financial Statements

Investments in associates and joint ventures are stated in the Company’s balance sheet at cost less accumulatedimpairment losses.

The results of the associates and joint ventures are included in the Company’s income statement to the extent ofdividends received and receivable, provided the Company’s right to receive the dividend is established before thebalance sheet date.

Transactions Eliminated on Consolidation

All significant intra-group transactions, balances and unrealised gains or losses are eliminated on consolidation.Unrealised gains resulting from transactions with associates and joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of theGroup’s interest in the enterprise. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only tothe extent that there is no evidence of impairment.

Accounting Policies of Subsidiaries, Associates and Joint Ventures

Where necessary, accounting policies for subsidiaries and material associates and joint ventures have been adjustedon consolidation to be consistent with the policies adopted by the Group.

2.4 Goodwill on consolidation

Goodwill

Goodwill arising on acquisition represents the excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the Group’s shareof the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired. Goodwill on acquisition of subsidiaries is includedin intangible assets. Goodwill on acquisition of associates and joint ventures is included in investments in associatesand joint ventures.

Goodwill is stated at cost less accumulated impairment losses.

Negative goodwill

Negative goodwill arising on acquisition represents the excess of the net fair value of the Group’s share of the identifiableassets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired over the cost of acquisition and is credited to incomestatement in the period of acquisition.

2.5 Revenue recognition

Revenue from ship and rig repair, building and conversion are recognised on the percentage of completion method,provided the work is at least 20% completed and the outcome of the contract can be reliably estimated. The percentageof completion is measured by reference to the percentage of costs incurred to-date to the estimated total costs foreach contract, with due consideration made to include only those costs that reflect work performed.

When an outcome of a contract cannot be estimated reliably, revenue is recognised only to the extent of costs incurredthat are likely to be recoverable. An expensed loss on a contract is recognised immediately in the income statementwhen it is foreseeable.

Income on goods sold and other services rendered is recognised on completion of delivery. Charter hire income istaken to the income statement on an accrual basis over the charter hire period. Rental income receivable underoperating leases is recognised in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Leaseincentives granted are recognised as a reduction of rental income over the lease term on a straight-line basis. Contingentrentals are recognised as income in the accounting period in which they are earned.

Interest income is recognised as interest accrues (using the effective interest method).

Dividend income is recognised when the Group’s right to receive payment is established.


2.6 Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost or valuation less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.The cost of an item is recognised as an asset if, and only if, it is probable that future economic benefits associatedwith the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The cost of an asset comprisesits purchase price and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to working condition for its intended use.Expenditure for additions, improvements and renewals are capitalised and expenditure for maintenance and repairsare charged to the income statement.

Where property, plant and equipment are revalued, any surplus on revaluation is credited to the asset revaluationreserve. A decrease in net carrying amount arising on revaluation of property, plant and equipment is charged to theincome statement to the extent that it exceeds any surplus held in reserve relating to previous revaluations of thesame asset.

2.7 Depreciation

Depreciation of an asset begins when it is available for use and is computed on the straight-line method to write offthe cost or valuation of property, plant and equipment over their estimated useful lives. Construction-in-progress isnot depreciated as these assets are not available for use. The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipmentare as follows:

Freehold and leasehold land and buildings 45 years or remaining period of leaseQuays and dry docks 60 years or remaining period of leasePlant, machinery and tools 3 to 10 yearsMotor vessels, launches, cranes and floating docks 3 to 20 yearsMotor vehicles 3 to 5 yearsFurniture and office equipment 3 to 5 yearsUtilities and fittings 30 yearsComputer equipment 1 to 5 years

The residual value, useful life and depreciation method are reviewed at each financial year-end to ensure that theamount, method and period of depreciation are consistent with previous estimates and the expected pattern ofconsumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the items of property, plant and equipment.

Fully depreciated assets are retained in the financial statements until they are no longer in use and no further chargefor depreciation is made in respect of these assets. Property, plant and equipment are derecognised upon disposalor when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognitionof the asset is included in the income statement in the year the asset is derecognised.

2.8 Investment properties

Investment properties comprise significant portions of land and buildings and quays that are held for long-term rentalyields or for capital appreciation, or both.

Investment properties are initially recognised at cost and subsequently carried at cost less accumulated depreciationand accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is recognised in the income statement on a straight-line basis overthe estimated useful lives of the investment properties. The estimated useful lives are 45 to 60 years, or the remainingperiod of lease. Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values of investment properties are reassessed at thereporting date.

Investment properties are subject to renovations or improvements at regular intervals. The cost of major renovationsand improvements is capitalised as an addition and the carrying amounts of the replaced components are writtenoff to the income statement. The cost of maintenance, repairs and minor improvements is charged to the incomestatement when incurred.

Investment properties are derecognised either when they have been disposed of or when the investment property ispermanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from its disposal. Any gains or losseson the retirement or disposal of an investment property are recognised in the income statement in the year ofretirement or disposal.

2.9 Financial assets

Financial assets are classified as one of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, oravailable-for-sale financial assets, as appropriate. Financial assets are recognised on the balance sheet when, and onlywhen, the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument.

When financial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value, plus, in the case of financial assets notmeasured at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs. The Group determines theclassification of its financial assets after initial recognition and, where allowed and appropriate, re-evaluates thisdesignation at each financial year-end.

All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised or derecognised on the trade date i.e. the datethat the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financialassets that require delivery of assets within the period generally established by regulation or convention in themarketplace concerned.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets are included in the category ‘financial assets at fair value through profit or loss’ if they are acquiredfor the purpose of selling in the near term. Derivative financial instruments are also classified as ‘financial assets atfair value through profit or loss’ unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments. Such assets aresubsequently measured at fair value. Gains or losses on ‘financial assets at fair value through profit or loss’ arerecognised in the income statement.

Loans and receivables

Non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market areclassified as loans and receivables. Such assets are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method, lessimpairment losses. Gains and losses are recognised in income statement when the loans and receivables are derecognisedor impaired, as well as through the amortisation process.

Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are those non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available-for-sale orare not classified in any of the other categories. After initial recognition, available-for-sale financial assets are measuredat fair value with gains or losses, other than impairment losses recognised in the available-for-sale reserve until theinvestment is derecognised or until the investment is determined to be impaired at which time the cumulative gainor loss previously reported in equity, or a part thereof, is included in the income statement.

The fair value of investments that are actively traded in organised financial markets is determined by reference to therelevant exchange’s quoted market bid prices at the close of business on the balance sheet date. For investmentswhere there is no active market, fair value is determined using valuation techniques.

Investments in equity instruments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair valuecannot be reliably measured are measured at cost less impairment losses.





2.10 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, bank balances and fixed deposits. These also include bank overdraftsthat form an integral part of the Group’s cash management.

2.11 Impairment of financial assets

The Group assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or groupof financial assets is impaired. A financial asset is considered impaired if objective evidence indicates that one or moreevents have had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flow of that asset.

Assets carried at amortised cost

If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on financial assets carried at amortised cost has been incurred,the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value ofestimated future cash flows discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. The carrying amount ofthe asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account. The amount of the loss is recognised in the incomestatement.

When the asset becomes uncollectible, the carrying amount of impaired financial assets is reduced directly or if anamount was charged to the allowance account, the amounts charged to the allowance account are written off againstthe carrying value of the financial asset.

To determine whether there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on financial assets has been incurred, theGroup considers factors such as the probability of insolvency or significant financial difficulties of the debtor anddefault or significant delay in payments.

If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectivelyto an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed.Any subsequent reversal of an impairment loss is recognised in the income statement, to the extent that the carryingvalue of the asset does not exceed its amortised cost at the reversal date.

Assets carried at cost

If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on a financial asset carried at cost has been incurred, the amountof the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimatedfuture cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset. Such impairment lossesare not reversed in subsequent periods.

Available-for-sale financial assets

A significant or prolonged decline in fair value below cost, significant financial difficulties of the issuer or obligor, andthe disappearance of an active trading market are considerations to determine whether there is objective evidencethat investment securities classified as available-for-sale financial assets are impaired.

When a decline in the fair value of an available-for-sale financial asset has been recognised directly in equity and thereis objective evidence that the value of the asset is impaired, the cumulative loss that had been recognised directly inequity is recognised in the income statement even though the financial asset has not been derecognised. The amountof the cumulative loss that is recognised in the income statement is the excess of acquisition cost less any impairmentloss on that financial asset previously recognised in the income statement, over its current fair value.

Impairment losses once recognised in the income statement in respect of available-for-sale financial assets are notreversed through the income statement. Any subsequent increase in fair value of such assets is recognised directly inequity.

2.12 Derecognition of financial assets

A financial asset is derecognised when the contractual rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired.

On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of (a) the considerationreceived (including any new asset obtained less any new liability assumed) and (b) any cumulative gain or loss thathas been recognised directly in equity is recognised in the income statement.

2.13 Inventories and work-in-progress

Inventories consist mainly of steel and other materials used for ship and rig repair, building and conversion and arestated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is principally determined on the weighted average method.Allowance is made for all deteriorated, obsolete and slow-moving items.

Work-in-progress represents the gross unbilled amount expected to be collected from customers for contract workcompleted to date. This comprises mainly uncompleted ship and rig repair, building and conversion jobs. It is measuredat cost plus profit recognised to date less progress billings and recognised losses. Cost includes materials, directlabour, sub-contractors’ costs and an appropriate allocation of fixed and variable production overheads. Allowanceis made for anticipated losses, if any, on work-in-progress when the possibility of loss is ascertained.

Work-in-progress is presented as part of inventories in the balance sheet. If payments received from customers exceedthe profit recognised, the difference is presented as progress billings in excess of work-in-progress on the balancesheet.

2.14 Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities include trade payables on normal trade terms, other payables, amounts due to subsidiaries, associates,related companies, joint ventures and related parties, and interest-bearing loans and borrowings.

Financial liabilities are recognised on the balance sheet when, and only when, the Group becomes a party to thecontractual provisions of the financial instrument. Financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value of considerationreceived less directly attributable transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effectiveinterest method.

Gains and losses are recognised in the income statement when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through theamortisation process. The liabilities are derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelledor has expired.

2.15 Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs are generally expensed as incurred. Borrowing costs are capitalised if they are directly attributableto the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset. Capitalisation of borrowing costs commenceswhen the activities to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale are in progress and the expenditure andborrowing costs are being incurred. Borrowing costs are capitalised until the assets are ready for their intended use.If the resulting carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recorded.





2.16 Leases

Finance lease assets (where a company is the lessor)

Amounts due from lessees under finance leases are recorded as receivables at the amount of the Group’s netinvestment in the leases. Finance lease income is allocated to accounting periods so as to reflect a constantperiodic rate of return on the Group’s net investment outstanding in respect of the leases.

Finance lease assets (where a company is the lessee)

Finance leases are those leasing agreements that give rights approximating to ownership. Assets financed undersuch leases are treated as if they had been purchased outright and are capitalised at the inception of the lease at thefair value of the leased asset or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The correspondingleasing commitments are shown as obligations to the lessor. Depreciation of the relevant assets is provided for asin Note 2.7 above. Lease payments are treated as consisting of capital and interest elements and the interest isamortised on the reducing balance basis over each lease term and charged to the income statement.

Operating leases (where a company is the lessee)

Where the Group has the use of assets under operating leases, payments made under the leases are recognised inthe income statement on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives received are recognised inthe income statement as an integral part of the total lease payments made.

2.17 Employee benefits

Defined contribution plans

Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the income statementas incurred.

Employee leave entitlement

Employee entitlements to annual leave are recognised when they accrue to employees. An accrual is made for theestimated liability for leave as a result of services rendered by employees up to the balance sheet date.

Retirement gratuity

Retirement benefits payable to certain categories of employees upon their retirement are provided for in the financialstatements based on their entitlement under the staff benefit plan or, in respect of unionised employees who joinedon or before 31 December 1988, based on an agreement with the union.

The Group’s net obligation in respect of retirement benefits is the amount of future benefits that employees haveearned in return for their service in current and prior periods. The obligation is calculated using projected salaryincreases and is discounted to its present value, and the fair value of any related assets is deducted.

Equity and equity-related compensation benefits

Employee stock option

The share option programme allows the Group’s employees to acquire shares of the Group companies. The fair valueis measured at grant date and spread over the period during which the employees become unconditionally entitledto the options (the vesting period). The fair value of options granted is recognised as an employee expense with acorresponding increase in equity using the binomial option-pricing model. At each balance sheet date, the Grouprevises its estimates of the number of options that are expected to become exercisable. It recognises the impactof the revision of original estimates in employee expense and in a corresponding adjustment to equity over theremaining vesting period.

The proceeds received net of any directly attributable transaction costs are credited to share capital when the optionsare exercised.

Performance Share Plan

The fair value of equity related compensation is measured using the Monte Carlo simulation method as at the dateof the grant. The method involves projecting future outcomes using statistical distributions of key random variablesincluding share prices and volatility of returns.

In estimating the fair value of the compensation cost, market based performance conditions are taken into account.Therefore, for performance share grants with market based performance conditions, the compensation cost ischarged to the income statement with a corresponding increase in equity on a basis that fairly reflects the mannerin which the benefits will accrue to the employee under the plan over the service period to which the performanceperiod relates, irrespective of whether this performance condition is satisfied.

Restricted Stock Plan

Similar to the Performance Share Plan, the fair value of equity related compensation is measured using the MonteCarlo simulation method as at the date of the grant. The method involves projecting future outcomes using statisticaldistributions of key random variables including share prices and the volatility of returns. This model takes into theaccount the probability of achieving the performance conditions in the future.

The fair value of the compensation cost is measured at grant date and spread over the service period to which theperformance criteria relate and the period during which the employees become unconditionally entitled to the shares.The compensation cost is charged to the income statement with a corresponding increase in equity on a basis thatfairly reflects the manner in which the benefits will accrue irrespective of whether this performance condition issatisfied.

At balance sheet date, the Group revises its estimates of the number of performance-based restricted shares that theemployees are expected to receive based on the achieving of non-market performance conditions and the numberof shares ultimately given. It recognises the impact of the revision of the original estimates in employee expense anda corresponding adjustment to equity over the remaining vesting period.

In the Company’s separate financial statements, the fair value of options, performance shares and restricted sharesgranted to employees of its subsidiaries is recognised as an increase in the cost of the Company’s investment insubsidiaries, with a corresponding increase in equity over the vesting period.

Cash-related compensation benefits

Challenge bonus

The Group recognises a liability and an expense for bonuses and profit-sharing, based on a formula that takes intoconsideration the share price of the Company. The Group recognises a provision when contractually obliged to payor where there is a past practice that has created a constructive obligation to pay.

The compensation cost is measured at the fair value of the liability at each balance sheet date and spread over theservice period to which the performance criteria relates and the period during which the employees becomeunconditionally entitled to the bonus. The liability takes into account the probability of achieving the performanceconditions in the future.

Until the liability is settled, the Group will re-measure the fair value of the liability at each balance sheet date and atthe date of settlement with any changes in fair value recognised in the income statement for the period.

2.18 Provisions

A provision is recognised when there is a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event and itis probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, anda reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet dateand adjusted to reflect the current best estimate.








2.19 Impairment of non-financial assets

The Group assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. If anysuch indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group makes an estimate ofthe asset’s recoverable amount.

An asset’s recoverable amount is the greater of the asset’s net selling price and value in use. In assessing value in use,the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects currentmarket assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For an asset that does not generatecash inflows largely independent of those from other assets, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds itsrecoverable amount. All impairment losses are recognised in the income statement or treated as a revaluation decreasefor assets carried at revalued amount to the extent that the impairment loss does not exceed the amount held in theasset revaluation reserve for that same asset.

An assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognisedimpairment losses recognised for an asset may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, therecoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change inthe estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that theasset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciationor amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised. Reversal of an impairment loss is recognised in the incomestatement unless the asset is carried at revalued amount, in which case the reversal in excess of impairment losspreviously recognised through the income statement is treated as a revaluation increase. After such a reversal, thedepreciation charge is adjusted in future periods to allocate the asset’s revised carrying amount, less any residual value,on a systematic basis over its remaining useful life.

An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed unless the loss was caused by a specific external event ofan exceptional nature that is not expected to recur, and the increase in recoverable amount relates clearly to thereversal of the effect of that specific event.

2.20 Income tax expense

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax expense is recognised in the income statementexcept to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case it is recognised in equity.

Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantivelyenacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

Deferred tax is recognised using the balance sheet method, providing for temporary differences between the carryingamounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferredtax is not recognised for the following temporary differences: the initial recognition of goodwill, the initial recognitionof assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxableprofit, and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries and joint ventures to the extent that it is probable thatthey will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to beapplied to the temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantivelyenacted by the reporting date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offsetcurrent tax liabilities and assets and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxableentity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their taxassets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously.

A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available againstwhich the temporary differences can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and arereduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.

2.21 Derivative financial instruments

Derivative financial instruments are used to manage exposures to foreign exchange and interest rate risks arising fromoperational, financing and investment activities. Derivative financial instruments are not used for trading purposes.

Derivative financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivativefinancial instruments are remeasured at fair value. The gain or loss on remeasurement to fair value is recognisedimmediately in the income statement. However, where derivatives qualify for hedge accounting, recognition of anyresultant gain or loss depends on the nature of the item being hedged as described below:-

Fair value hedges

Where a derivative financial instrument hedges the changes in fair value of a recognised asset or liability or anunrecognised firm commitment (or an identified portion of such asset, liability or firm commitment), any gain or losson the hedging instrument is recognised in the income statement. The hedged item is also stated at fair value inrespect of the risk being hedged, with any gain or loss recognised in the income statement.

Cash flow hedges

Where a derivative financial instrument is designated as a hedge of the variability in cash flows of a recognised assetor liability, or a highly probable forecast transaction, the effective part of any gain or loss on the derivative financialinstrument is recognised directly in equity. The ineffective part of any gain or loss is recognised immediately in theincome statement. When the forecast transaction subsequently results in the recognition of a non-financial asset ornon-financial liability, or the forecast transaction for a non-financial asset or non-financial liability becomes a firmcommitment for which fair value hedge accounting is applied, the associated cumulative gain or loss is removed fromequity and included in the initial cost or other carrying amount of the non-financial asset or liability. If a hedge of aforecast transaction subsequently results in the recognition of a financial asset or financial liability, the associated gainsand losses that were recognised directly in equity are reclassified into the income statement in the same period orperiods during which the asset acquired or liability assumed affects the income statement.

When a hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, or the entity revokes designation of the hedgerelationship but the hedged forecast transaction is still expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss at that pointremains in equity and is recognised in accordance with the above policy when the transaction occurs. If the hedgedtransaction is no longer expected to take place, the cumulative unrealised gain or loss recognised in equity is recognisedimmediately in the income statement.

2.22 Financial guarantee contracts

Financial guarantee contract are accounted for as insurance contracts. A provision is recognised based on theCompany’s estimate of the ultimate cost of settling all claims incurred but unpaid at the balance sheet date. Theprovision is assessed by reviewing individual claims and tested for adequacy by comparing the amount recognisedand the amount that would be required to settle the guarantee contract.

2.23 Segment reporting

A segment is a distinguishable component of the Group that is engaged either in providing products or services(business segment), or in providing products or services within a particular economic environment (geographicalsegment), which is subject to risks and rewards that are different from those of other segments.

(a) The carrying amounts of docks, launches, cranes and marine vessels included certain docks and quays stated at Directors’valuation of $25,152,000 in the year 1973. Subsequent additions to these docks and quays were stated at cost. Therevaluation was done on a one-off basis and accordingly, the transitional provision in FRS 16 – Property, Plant andEquipment was adopted to continue with its existing policy of stating these docks and quays at cost and revaluedamounts. If the following re-valued assets of the Group and Company had been included in the financial statementsat cost less accumulated depreciation, the net written down value would have been:

Group and Company2008 2007$’000 $’000

Docks and quays 5,501 5,749

The re-valued net book value of the docks and quays is $9,296,000 (2007: $9,715,000).

(b) As at balance sheet date, the net book value of property, plant and equipment under “Plant, machinery and tools”and“Others” acquired under finance lease agreements amounted to $4,518,000 (2007: $2,890,000) for the Group.

(c) Others comprise motor vehicles, furniture and office equipment, utilities and fittings and computer equipment.

Past due 0 to 3 months 42,600 59,919 – –Past due 3 to 6 months 12,308 43,023 – –Past due 6 to 12 months 7,220 26,394 – –More than 1 year 22,436 42,550 47 47

The allowance account in respect of trade and other receivables is used to record impairment losses unless theGroup is satisfied that no recovery of the amount owing is possible. At that point, the financial asset is consideredirrecoverable and the amount charged to the allowance account is written off against the carrying amount of theimpaired financial asset.

Based on historical default rates, the Group believes that the amount of impairment allowance made is adequate inrespect of trade and other receivables. These receivables are mainly arising by customers that have a good collectiontrack record with the Group.

Trade receivables that are individually determined to be impaired at the balance sheet date relate to receivables thatare in significant financial difficulty and have defaulted on payments.

Arising from the various unauthorised foreign exchange transactions entered into previously by an employee of theCompany for the account of one of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Jurong Shipyard Pte Ltd (“JSPL”), $302.9 million wascharged to the income statement in 2007. During the year, another $43.7 million had been charged to the incomestatement following the full and final amicable settlement of BNP Paribas’s claim of $73.1 million (Note 34), strictlyon commercial basis.

33. Shared-based incentive plans (cont’d)

(b)Performance Share Plan

Under the Performance Share Plan, the awards granted conditional on performance targets are set based onmedium-term corporate objectives at the start of each rolling three-year performance qualifying period. A specificnumber of performance shares are awarded at the end of the three-year performance cycle depending on theextent of the achievement of the performance conditions established at the onset.

For performance share awards granted in or after 2005, the performance criteria were based on Wealth Addedand Total Shareholders’ Return. For each performance measure, three distinct performance levels are set. Aminimum of threshold performance must be achieved to trigger an Achievement Factor, which in turn determinesthe number of shares to be finally awarded. Based on the criteria, performance shares to be delivered for awardsgranted previously will range between 0% to 150% of the original award.

Participants are also required to hold a minimum percentage of the shares released to them under the PerformanceShare Plan to maintain a beneficial ownership stake in the Group, for the duration of their employment or tenurewith the Group. A maximum cap is set based on a multiple of the individual participant’s Annual Base Salary.Any excess can be sold off, but in the event of a shortfall, they have a two calendar year period to meet theminimum percentage requirement.

During the year, a total of 790,000 (2007: 700,000) performance shares in awards were granted conditionallyto the participants for the performance period 2008 to 2010 (2007: 2007 to 2009).

The details of the Company’s performance shares awarded since commencement of the Performance SharePlan (in aggregate) up to 31 December 2008 are as follows:

790,000 5,215,000 (2,721,900) (425,600) 542,500 2,610,000

The total number of performance shares in awards granted conditionally and representing 100% of targets achieved,but not released as at 31 December 2008, was 2,610,000 (2007: 2,905,000). Based on the multiplying factor,the actual release of the awards could range from zero to a maximum of 3,915,000 (2007: 4,357,500) performanceshares.

Fair value of Performance Shares

The fair value of the performance shares are estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation methodology at themeasurement dates, which are grant dates for equity-settled awards. The assumptions used under the model andfair values of performance shares granted in 2008 and 2007 are as follows:

Date of grant 7 April 2008 12 June 2007

Fair value at measurement date $2.65 $4.25

Assumptions under the Monte Carlo model

Share price $3.77 $4.78Expected volatility:

Sembcorp Marine Ltd 30.9% 24.6%Morgan Stanley Capital International (“MSCI”) AC Asia

Pacific excluding Japan Industrials Index 21.9% 13.8%Correlation with MSCI 61.3% 30.0%Risk-free interest rate 1.1% 2.5%Expected dividend 5.0% 4.9%

The expected volatility is based on the historical volatility over the most recent period that is commensuratewith the expected life of the performance shares.

(c)Restricted Stock Plan and Challenge Bonus

In 2006, as part of the redesigned approach, restricted shares were awarded to managerial employees of theGroup, with the objective to eventually replace share options as a long term incentive for them.

Under the Restricted Stock Plan, the awards granted conditional on performance targets are set based on corporateobjectives at the start of each rolling two-year performance qualifying period. The performance criteria are setand performance levels for the restricted shares are calibrated based on Return on Equity and Total Shareholders’Return. For each performance measure, three distinct performance levels are set. A minimum of thresholdperformance must be achieved to trigger an Achievement Factor, which in turn determines the number of sharesto be finally awarded. Based on the criteria, restricted shares to be delivered for awards granted from 2006 to2007 will range from 0% to 130% of the original award, and restricted shares to be delivered for awards grantedin 2008 will range from 0% to 150% of the original award.

The managerial participants of the Group will be awarded restricted shares under the Restricted Stock Plan, whilethe non-managerial participants of the Group will receive their awards in an equivalent cash value. This cash-settled notional restricted shares award for non-managerial participants is known as Challenge Bonus.

A specific number of restricted shares shall be awarded at the end of the two-year performance cycle dependingon the extent of the achievement of the performance conditions established at the onset. There is a further vestingof three years after the performance period, during which one-third of the awarded shares are released each year.Non-managerial participants will receive the equivalent in cash at the end of the two-year performance cycle, withno further vesting conditions.

Senior management participants are also required to hold a minimum percentage of the shares released to themunder the Restricted Stock Plan to maintain a beneficial ownership stake in the Group, for the duration of theiremployment or tenure with the Group. A maximum cap is set based on a multiple of the individual participant’sAnnual Base Salary. Any excess can be sold off, but in the event of a shortfall, they have a two calendar year periodto meet the minimum percentage requirement.

A total of 3,573,000 (2007: 3,038,940) restricted shares of Sembcorp Marine Ltd’s shares were awarded on 7 April2008 (2007: 12 June 2007) for the performance period 2008 to 2009 (2007: 2007 to 2008).

Fair value of Restricted Shares

The fair value of the restricted shares is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation methodology at the measurementdates, which are the grant dates for equity-settled awards.

The assumptions used under the model and fair values of restricted shares granted during the year are as follows:


Fair value at measurement date $3.06 $4.15


Assumptions under the Monte Carlo model

Share price $3.77 $4.78Expected volatility:

Sembcorp Marine Ltd 30.9% 24.6%Straits Times Index 15.9% 10.0%

Correlation vs Straits Times Index 47.6% 14.1%Risk-free interest rate 0.9% - 1.3% 2.4% - 2.6%Expected dividend 5.0% 4.9%

The expected volatility is based on the historical volatility over the most recent period that is commensurate withthe expected life of the restricted shares.

Fair value of Challenge Bonus

The fair value of the compensation cost is based on the notional number of restricted shares awarded for the ChallengeBonus and the market price at the vesting date.

38 Financial risk management

The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments are credit risk, foreign currency risk, interest rate risk,liquidity risk and market risk. The Board of Directors reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks andthey are summarised below:

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of loss that may arise on outstanding financial instruments should a counterparty default on itsobligations.

The Group’s objective is to seek continual revenue growth while minimising losses incurred due to increased creditrisk exposure. The Group manages credit risk arising from sales to customers through a stringent credit evaluationprocess and regular monitoring thereafter. The management of credit risk is on an aggregate basis by including allexisting relationships with a particular customer or related entities of the same corporate organisation. There is nosignificant concentration of credit risk on the outstanding financial instruments as at year end.

The carrying amounts of trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents and derivatives with positive fair valuesrepresent the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk.

Cash and fixed deposits are placed in banks and financial institutions which are regulated. The Group limits its creditrisk exposure in respect of investments by only investing in liquid securities and only with counterparties that have asound credit rating.

A 10% strengthening of the following currencies against the Singapore dollar at the balance sheet date for theGroup’s and Company’s monetary items, including forward foreign exchange contracts and swaps, would haveincreased/(decreased) equity and profit and loss by the amounts shown below. The analysis assumes that all othervariables, in particular interest rates, remain constant. The analysis is performed on the same basis for 2007.

A 10% weakening of the above currencies against the Singapore dollar at the balance sheet date would have equalbut opposite effects on the above currencies to the amounts shown above, on the basis that all other variables remainconstant.

Interest rate riskInterest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of the Group’s and the Company’s financial instrumentswill fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates.

The Group’s policy is to maintain an efficient optimal interest cost structure using a mix of fixed and variable ratedebts, where working capital is financed mainly by variable rate loans while long term investments are financed mainlyby fixed rate loans. To manage this mix in a cost-efficient manner, the Group enters into interest rate swaps, in whichthe Group agrees to exchange, at specific intervals, the difference between fixed and variable rate interest amountscalculated by reference to an agreed-upon notional principal amount. These swaps are designated to hedge underlyingdebt obligations. After taking into account the effect of an interest rate swap, the Group’s borrowings are substantiallyat a fixed rate of interest. Surplus funds, if any, are placed with reputable banks.

The Group obtains additional financing through bank borrowings and leasing arrangements. The Group’s policy isto obtain the most favourable interest rates available without increasing its foreign currency exposure.

Sensitivity analysisBased on the cash and cash equivalents for the Group of $2,054,032,000 (2007: $740,477,000), it is estimated thata one percentage point increase in interest rate would increase the Group’s profit before taxation by approximately$20,540,000 (2007: $7,405,000). The analysis is performed on the same basis for 2007.




38. Financial risk management (cont’d)

Foreign currency risk

The Group incurs foreign currency risk on sales and purchases that are denominated in a currency other than theSingapore dollar, primarily the United States dollar (“USD”) and the Euro (“EUR”). To minimise exposure on foreigncurrency risks, the Group usually settles such transactions within 30 day terms.

The Group also utilises forward foreign currency contracts and swaps to hedge foreign currency denominatedfinancial assets, liabilities and firm commitments. Under this programme, increases or decreases in the Group’s foreigncurrency denominated financial assets, liabilities and firm commitments are partially offset by gains and losses on thehedging instruments. The Group does not use forward foreign currency contracts and swaps for trading purpose.

The Group’s and Company’s foreign currency exposures are as follows:

Liquidity riskLiquidity risk is the risk that the Group or the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting financial obligations dueto shortage of funds. The Group’s and the Company’s exposure to liquidity risk arises primarily from mismatches ofthe maturities of financial assets and liabilities. Short term funding is obtained from overdraft facilities and bankborrowings. The Group’s and the Company’s objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding andflexibility through the use of stand-by credit facilities.

The table below analyses the maturity profile of the Group’s and Company’s financial liabilities (including derivativefinancial liabilities) based on contractual undiscounted cash flows.

Market Risk

Market price risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of the Group’s financial instruments will fluctuatebecause of changes in market prices (other than interest or exchange rates). The Group is exposed to equity pricerisk arising from its investments held. The Group manages the risk of unfavourable changes by cautious review of theinvestments before investing and continuous monitoring of the performance of investments held and assessingmarket risk relevant to which the investments operate.

Sensitivity analysis

If prices for equity securities increase by 10% with all other variables being held constant, the profit before tax andequity will increase by:

Equity 10,723 65,799 6,628 40,415Profit and loss 3 7 – –

A 10% decrease in the underlying equity prices would have equal but opposite effects on the amounts shown above.The analysis is performed on the same basis for 2007 and assumes that all other variables remain constant.

Financial instruments whose carrying amount approximates fair value

Management has determined that the carrying amounts of the Group’s and Company’s cash and cash equivalents,receivables and payables (including related party balances which are expected to be repaid in accordance withnormal credit terms), and short term borrowings, based on their notional amounts, reasonably approximate their fairvalues because these are mostly short term in nature or are repriced frequently.

Financial instruments carried at other than fair value

Set out below is a comparison by category of carrying amounts and fair values of the Group’s and Company’s significantfinancial instruments that are carried in the financial statements at other than fair values as at 31 December.

2008 2007

Carrying amount Fair value Carrying amount Fair valueGroup and Company $’000 $’000 $’000 $’000

Non-current portion of: Medium Term Notes 149,945 149,945 149,869 147,810





No disclosure of fair value is made for related party balances (including associates, related companies and subsidiariesand any other related parties) which are in the nature of loans as it is not practicable to determine their fair valueswith sufficient reliability since these balances have no fixed terms of repayment although these are not expected tobe settled within twelve months from the balance sheet date.

It is not practicable to determine the fair values of unquoted equity investments held as long term investments andthe long term trade receivables carried at cost. In the opinion of the Directors, the expected cash flows from theseunquoted equity investments and long term trade receivables are believed to be in excess of their carrying amounts.

Methods and assumptions used to determine fair value

The methods and assumptions used by management to determine fair values of financial instruments other than thosewhose carrying amounts reasonably approximate their fair values as mentioned earlier, are as follows:

Financial assets and liabilities Methods and assumptions

Investment in quoted equity shares Fair value has been determined by reference to published market bid prices Medium Term Notes (quoted) at the balance sheet date without factoring in transaction costs.

Finance lease liabilities Fair value has been determined using discounted estimated cash flows.Bank borrowings (non-current) Where repayment terms are not fixed, future cash flows are projected based

on management’s best estimates. The discount rates used are the currentmarket incremental lending rates for similar types of lending, borrowingand leasing arrangements.

Forward foreign currency contracts Fair value of forward foreign currency contracts is calculated by referenceForeign exchange and to current forward exchange rates for contracts with similar maturity profiles.

interest rate swap contracts The fair values of foreign exchange and interest rate swap contracts are determined by reference to market values for similar instruments.

39 Capital management

The Group aims to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and tosustain future development of the business, while at the same time maintaining an appropriate dividend policy toreward shareholders. The Group monitors Economic Value Added attributable to shareholders, which the Groupdefines as net operating profit after tax less capital charge excluding minority interests. The Group also monitors thelevel of dividends to ordinary shareholders.

The Group seeks to maintain a balance between the higher returns that might be possible with higher levels ofborrowings and the advantages and security afforded by a sound capital position. Capital is defined as equity attributableto the equity holders.

There were no changes in the Group’s approach to capital management during the year.

The Group is required to maintain consolidated net borrowings to consolidated net assets (less dividends, goodwilland other intangible assets) ratio of not more than 1.75. This externally imposed capital requirement has beencomplied with at each quarter in the financial year ended 31 December 2008.

40 Significant accounting estimates and judgements

Estimates, assumptions concerning the future and judgements are made in the preparation of the financial statements.They affect the application of the Group’s accounting policies, reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income andexpenses, and disclosures made. They are assessed on an on-going basis and are based on experience and relevantfactors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the balance sheet datethat have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities withinthe next financial year are discussed below.

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Managementestimates the useful lives of these property, plant and equipment to be within 1 to 60 years. The carrying amount ofthe Group’s property, plant and equipment at 31 December 2008 was $697,702,000 (2007: $675,585,000). Changesin the expected level of usage and technological developments could impact the economic useful lives and theresidual values of these assets, therefore future depreciation charges could be revised.

Income tax

The Group has exposure to income taxes in various jurisdictions. Significant judgement is involved in determiningthe Group-wide provision for income taxes. There are certain transactions and computations for which the ultimatetax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. The Group recognises liabilities for expectedtax issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final tax outcome of these mattersis different from the amounts that were initially recognised, such differences will impact the income tax and deferredtax provisions in the period in which such determination is made. The carrying amount of the Group’s provision fortaxation at 31 December 2008 was $167,149,000 (2007: $115,014,000). The carrying amounts of the Group’sdeferred tax assets and liabilities at 31 December 2008 were $9,436,000 (2007: nil) and $61,261,000 (2007:$168,738,000) respectively.

42 New or revised accounting standards and interpretations

Certain new standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards have been published and are mandatoryfor the Group’s accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009 or later periods and which the Group hasnot early adopted. The Group’s assessment of the impact of adopting these standards, amendments and interpretationsthat are relevant to the Group are set out below.

(a) FRS 1 (revised 2008) will become effective for the Group’s financial statements for the year ending 31 December2009. The revised standard requires an entity to present, in a statement of changes in equity, all owner changesin equity. All non-owner changes in equity (i.e. comprehensive income) are required to be presented in onestatement of comprehensive income or in two statements (a separate income statement and a statement ofcomprehensive income). Components of comprehensive income are not permitted to be presented in the statementof changes in equity. In addition, a statement of financial position is required at the beginning of the earliestcomparative period following a change in accounting policy, the correction of an error or the reclassification ofitems in the financial statements. FRS 1 (revised 2008) does not have any impact on the Group’s financial positionor results.

(b) FRS 108 Operating Segments (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009)

FRS 108 supersedes FRS 14 Segment Reporting and requires the Group to report the financial performance of itsoperating segments based on the information used internally by management for evaluating segment performanceand deciding on allocation of resources.

The Group will apply FRS 108 from 1 January 2009 and provide comparative information that conforms to therequirements of FRS 108. Currently, the Group presents segment information in respect of its business andgeographical segments.

(c) Revised FRS 23 Borrowing Costs (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009)

The revised standard removes the option to recognise immediately as an expense, borrowing costs that areattributable to qualifying assets, and requires an entity to capitalise borrowing costs directly attributable to theacquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset as part of the cost of the development property.

As the Group has been capitalising the relevant borrowing costs, the revised standard is not expected to haveany impact to the Group.

The initial application of those standards (and its consequential amendments) and interpretations is not expectedto have any material impact to the Group’s financial statements. The Group has not considered the impact of FRSissued after the balance sheet date.

43 Subsequent events

(a) On 22 January 2009, the Minister for Finance announced in his Budget speech that the corporate income tax ratewill be reduced from 18% to 17% from the year of assessment 2010. The tax expense for the Group and Companyfor the year ended 31 December 2008 has been computed at the rate of 18%, being the corporate income taxrate in effect for the year.

(b) The Company acquired the remaining 30% equity interest in JPL Corporation Pte Ltd (“JPLC”) from the minorityshareholders for a consideration of $13,428,000.

44 Comparative information

The comparative figures relating to the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2007 were audited byanother firm of certified public accountants.
