Dayang poised to reap profit margin from new AWB purchase
PETALING JAYA: Dayang Enterprise Holdings Bhd could reap a profit margin of about one-fifth from the purchase of a new accommodation work boat (AWB). As for daily charter rate, the group's management anticipates it be around RM80,000. Dayang intends to acquire a new 60-tonne AWB with a capacity of 239 passengers at about RM130mil to replace an ageing vessel. The boat will be constructed by Shin Yang Group Bhd with completion targeted by the third quarter of financial year 2027 (3Q27). ]The acquisition will be financed through a 60:40 equity-to-debt ratio. 'Management anticipates a daily charter rate of circa RM80,000 and expects a 22% profit margin from the AWB. 'With full utilisation projected for 2028, we see the vessel acquisition as a strategic move to enhance Dayang's competitiveness in tender bids and optimise operational efficiency,' Phillip Capital Research said in a report. Despite a bad monsoon in the 1Q25, the research firm expects vessel utilisation rate to improve in the 2Q25 with Dayang's fleet operating at full capacity. Meanwhile subsidiary Perdana Petroleum Bhd 's fleet has been operating at 80% since April this year. According to the research firm, Dayang's current order book stood at RM5.1bil (versus RM5.2bil in 4Q24), and revenue recognition is expected to accelerate in the coming quarters following the completion of the maintenance, construction, and modification contract transition phase in March. 'We expect Dayang's strong order book will keep the group busy over the next four years until 2029. 'The RM3bil worth of offshore platform decommissioning tender – covering 31 platforms across Sabah, Sarawak, and Peninsular Malaysia over three years – is currently under commercial evaluation. 'We gathered that Sapura Energy Bhd is one of the bidders for the Sabah and Peninsular Malaysia areas.' The research firm said Dayang's management noted that the decommissioning contract allows for operational flexibility. Given its strong local presence, Dayang is well-positioned to secure the Sarawak package, it added.

Shin Yang in talks to build MMEA patrol vessels
KUCHING: Shin Yang Group Bhd 's (SYG) wholly owned subsidiary Shin Yang Shipyard Sdn Bhd is likely to build two offshore patrol boats for the federal government. Shin Yang Shipyard had signed a letter of intent (LoI) with the Home Affairs Ministry for the proposed construction of the two offshore patrol vessels for Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency (MMEA) at the Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace Exhibition 2025 last week. The LoI sets the foundation for detailed negotiations and technical planning that will lead to the finalisation of a shipbuilding contract. 'Negotiations for the contract are expected to take two to three months,' Shin Yang Shipyard executive director Vincent Ling Lu Yew told StarBiz. The contract value for the two vessels based on the LoI is RM298.5mil. Ling said the vessels will have a length of 83m and beam of 13.7m, with a top speed of 21 knots. The vessel's endurance is up to 21 days at sea without resupply. The planned features and equipments of the vessels include two rigid hull inflatable boats (RHIBs) and one fast interceptor craft, and a helicopter landing pad. The vessel is expected to accommodate up to 70 personnel. A RHIB is a vessel featuring a rigid (often aluminium or fibreglass) hull surrounded by inflatable collars or tubes. The vessel's performance include high speed, lightweight, remarkably stable in rough water and ideal for patrol or rescue mission. 'The LoI marks a significant step forward in the government's effort to enhance national maritime security and reflects a strong confidence in local shipbuilding capabilities,' said Ling. Last month, Shin Yang Shipyard delivered KM Banggi to MMEA in Sabah after completing the repair and repowering of the coastal patrol boat for a contract value of about RM60mil. KM Banggi was the biggest repowering job ever undertaken by the Miri-based shipbuilder and repairer. The company posted a jump in its net profit to RM42.42mil in the second quarter of its financial year ending June 30 (2Q25) from RM19.52mil a year ago. This was on the back of higher revenue of RM611mil in 2Q25 versus RM235.27mil a year earlier. The company attributed the significant pre-tax profit and revenue growth to income from the newly acquired automotive segment during the current quarter. The automotive segment contributed RM359.9mil to the group's revenue and RM25.2mil to its pre-tax profit. However, its shipping segment's revenue fell 4.6% to RM169.4mil in 2Q25 from RM177.6mil in the same quarter last year. This decrease in revenue was primarily due to the normalisation of freight rates in the shipping segment. However, the increase in pre-tax profit for the shipping segment was mainly attributed to an improvement in load factors and cargo volume in the container segment and a gain of RM5mil from the disposal of three vessels. Moving forward, it plans to expand its investments in container depots, haulage services, including warehouse facilities, to capture new business opportunities. Shin Yang is optimistic about its prospects in the newly acquired segment in the automotive business, considering that Toyota is a well-established brand and its cars business have been among the top five best-selling cars in Malaysia for many years.
