Business Times2 days ago

[SINGAPORE] Seatrium recorded net orderbook wins amounting to S$21.3 billion as at March, comprising 26 projects with delivery dates till 2031.
Of these, nine are scheduled for delivery in 2025, and they have a contract value of S$387 million, the offshore and marine specialist said on Thursday (May 29) in its Q1 business update.
Projects relating to renewables and green or cleaner solutions had a contract value of S$7.1 billion, it said.
During the quarter, the company completed 45 vessel repairs and upgrades projects. These included two carbon capture and storage retrofits, repairs and upgrades for six cruise ships, two liquefied natural gas carriers and three offshore vessels.
The group had a stable order pipeline for oil and gas projects, driven by an increased focus on energy security and strong energy demand.
It signed a memorandum of understanding with BP Exploration & Production – a subsidiary of BP – for a deepwater floating production unit (FPU) in the Gulf of Mexico, extending its collaboration with BP on an earlier FPU project. Seatrium also secured a contract to supply equipment and a licence to build a jack-up rig in the Middle East and North Africa region.
Offshore commissioning works are underway for the revolution wind offshore substations, with a unit slated to complete by June this year.
In January, it won a contract for engineering, procurement and construction works on a 5,000 tonne heavy lift vessel for Penta-Ocean Construction, marking its maiden entry into the Japanese offshore wind market.
The counter ended Wednesday 0.5 per cent or S$0.01 higher at S$2.06.

Upcoming Hotel Indigo Changi Airport to offer indoor ‘rainforest' and control tower views

An artist's impression of Hotel Indigo Changi Airport's indoor rainforest. ILLUSTRATION: OUR SINGAPORE – Hotel Indigo Changi Airport, set to stand beside Terminal 2, will offer a 'distinctive local experience' and incorporate sustainable elements into its design, said property developer OUE. The Hotel Indigo Changi Airport will celebrate the spirit of Changi, said OUE at the May 29 groundbreaking ceremony of the hotel it is developing under a joint venture with Japanese non-banking financial services company Tokyo Century. The 255-room hotel, scheduled to be ready and fully operational by 2028, will also be Singapore's first hotel to attain 'zero-energy' certification level under the Green Mark Scheme of the Singapore Building and Construction Authority (BCA), the group said. Under the scheme, zero-energy buildings are those that consume energy entirely from renewable energy sources. The top floor of Hotel Indigo Changi Airport, level eight, will feature an infinity pool, a gym and a bar that offers panoramic views of the airport, OUE said. An indoor rainforest in the hotel will blend urban architecture with seven storeys of lush greenery. Upon arrival at the Floating Forest, hotel guests will be greeted by a foliage-enveloped lobby furnished with lanterns and a water-covered skylight with views of hanging plants. The glass and timber lifts that bring guests to their rooms will take them up through the 'forest' on an immersive journey with nature. Locally inspired features Hotel Indigo Changi Airport will pay homage to Changi Airport's ongoing evolution as a gateway to the world by drawing inspiration from its past, present and future, OUE said. Locally inspired design and curated artwork will be incorporated into the hotel's public spaces and guest rooms, it said. The hotel has direct access to Terminal 2. It will provide views of key airport landmarks, including the tree-lined Airport Boulevard that leads up to the iconic control tower, Crowne Plaza Changi Airport and Jewel Changi Airport. A rooftop oasis on the eighth floor of the hotel will provide views of Changi Airport. ILLUSTRATION: OUE Beyond incorporating nature in its design, the hotel will deploy sustainability initiatives to minimise environmental impact while ensuring guests' comfort and well-being, OUE said. These include green building strategies, smart energy management systems and eco-friendly technologies. Notably, there are plans to install photovoltaic solar panels on the hotel's rooftop and its adjacent coach stand, as well as on selected facades, OUE said. These solar panels will harness renewable energy to minimise the facility's carbon footprint and achieve zero-energy operations. Naturally ventilated corridors integrated with hybrid cooling systems will reduce the hotel's reliance on air-conditioning; its shaded facades provided by the Floating Forest and its use of rainwater-harvesting technology will be among its other sustainability features.

China, Japan close to resuming seafood imports after Fukushima ban

[BEIJING] China and Japan said on Friday they were moving closer to ending a years-long dispute over Tokyo's handling of nuclear wastewater that prompted Beijing to ban imports of Japanese seafood. In 2023, Japan began gradually releasing treated wastewater from the stricken Fukushima nuclear plant into the Pacific Ocean. The move was backed by the International Atomic Energy Agency, but drew sharp criticism from Beijing, which banned Japanese seafood imports as a result. China indicated on Friday that it was edging closer to lifting the ban, saying talks with Japanese officials in Beijing this week had 'achieved substantial progress'. 'So far this year, the two sides have carried out several rounds of technical exchanges,' Beijing's customs administration said in a statement, without giving further details. Japan's Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi said Beijing and Tokyo had 'reached an agreement on the technical requirements necessary to resume exports of fishery products to China'.

'We regard this as a major milestone,' he told a press conference. China previously said it had found no abnormalities in seawater and marine life samples it independently collected near the Fukushima plant in February, but indicated more tests were needed before revoking the ban. In 2011, a huge earthquake triggered a deadly tsunami that swamped the Fukushima nuclear facility and pushed three of its six reactors into meltdown. China, whose ties with Japan have long been strained by Tokyo's imperial legacy, vociferously opposed the release of the treated wastewater, casting it as environmentally irresponsible. AFP
