Group operating profits recorded an increase of83 per cent from $124.5 million in 2005 to $228.2million in 2006. Group pre-tax profits rose 95per cent from $159.9 million in 2005 to $310.9million in 2006. This increase came mainly fromhigher operating margins from the rig buildingand ship repair businesses, gains on disposal ofinvestments as well as improved contributionsfrom associated companies.

Commitment to Shareholder ValueIn tandem with the strong financial performancein 2006, the Board of Directors is recommendinga final gross dividend of 11.5 cents per sharecomprising 10.0 cents plus 1.5 cents one-tiertax-exempt dividend per share. Together with theinterim gross dividend payment of 3.5 cents pershare, total gross dividend for 2006 will be15 cents per share, comprising 13.5 cents and1.5 cents one-tier tax-exempt dividend per share.This represents a dividend payout of 77 per cent.It also represents an increase of 64 per cent ascompared with 2005.

Strong, Resilient Core BusinessesThe Group has strong and resilient corebusinesses. In 2006, rig building constituted 49per cent of the total turnover of $3.55 billionfollowed by ship conversion/offshore at 26 percent, ship repair at 17 per cent, shipbuilding at6 per cent and others at 2 per cent.

The star performer was the rig building sectorwhere turnover rose by 353 per cent from $381.3million in 2005 to $1,728.9 million in 2006. Thisincrease was attributable to the progressiverecognition of more jack-up and semi-submersiblerigs.

engineering and early stages of production. Forsemi-submersible rigs, two units were at work-in-progress stages and three other units still inthe engineering and early stages.

The ship repair segment also performed well, withturnover increasing by 15.4 per cent from $530.6million to $612.1 million in 2006. A total of 314vessels were docked for repairs as compared with309 in 2005. Average revenue per vessel edgedup from $1.72 million to $1.95 million in 2006.Tankers comprised 37 per cent of vessels repairedfollowed by LPG/LNG tankers at 15 per cent, bulkcarriers at 11 per cent, container vessels at 10per cent, floating production storage offloading(FPSO) upgrading at 6 per cent, offshore upgradingat 5 per cent and the remaining 16 per centcomprising a mix of different vessels such as carcarriers, cargo vessels and dredgers.

The shipbuilding sector also registered an increaseof 11.7 per cent from $188.6 million in 2005 to$210.6 million in 2006. Four units of the 2,600TEU container vessels were delivered within theyear with the remaining three units of 2,600 TEUcontainer vessels to be delivered in 2007.

The acquisition allows SembCorp Marine tooptimise its capacity and resources with anadditional 86 hectares of land equipped with afabrication yard in Singapore, adjacent toSembawang Shipyard, and a 30-hectarefabrication yard in Batam in Indonesia. The timelyacquisition of SMOE’s expertise and track recordin the offshore production facilities had positionedthe Group to expand its capabilities and capacityin anticipation of the expected growth in theoffshore production market. To date, SMOE andits Indonesian subsidiary, P.T. SMOE Indonesia,had successfully clinched US$380 million worthof contracts for production platforms.

Outlook for 2007In 2006, the Group secured contracts worth $3.1billion compared with $4.2 billion in 2005, adifference attributable mainly to the timing of thecontracts. As at February 2007, total contractssecured totaled $1.8 billion, representing morethan half the amount secured in 2006. The totaloutstanding order book, excluding ship repairand including new contracts secured up to

February 2007, stood at $7.1 billion with deliveriesand completions until 2010.

Based on the scheduled completion of theseprojects, the SembCorp Marine Group expects2007 to be a better year than 2006. In addition,the Group projects that the market outlook for allsectors in the offshore and marine industry wouldremain healthy. Ship repair demand is expectedto be strong especially in the specialised marketof LNG/LPG gas tankers, VLCC (very-large crudecarriers) tankers and container vessels.

Global demand for energy continues to grow withexploration and production activities remainingpositive despite the volatility in oil prices whichat these levels underpin the high level of activities.Correspondingly, prospects for FPSO vessels,floating storage and offloading (FSO) vessels andoffshore platforms are likely to remain strong.Equally strong is the outlook on the rig buildingsector backed by high charter rates, near 100per cent utilisation levels and an aging fleetworldwide.

Turnover from the offshore ship conversion sectorregistered a modest growth of 3.1 per cent from$886.3 million in 2005 to $913.4 million in 2006.Major completions for the year comprised themarine portion of Petrobras 54 project, BWEnterprise FPSO conversion and the RJS FPSOconversion. Other projects underway includedthree new FPSO conversions, a heavy lift derrickpipelay conversion and a semi-submersible rigconversion.

Associates’ ContributionsSembCorp Marine’s stake in the Cosco ShipyardGroup contributed a significant $39.1 millionto pre-tax profits, while other associatedcompanies recorded improved profit growth.Total contributions from associates were$44.4 million, an increase of 127 per cent from$19.5 million in 2005.

Strategy for Sustainable GrowthTo enhance its capabilities and capacity togrow its rig building and offshore engineeringbusiness, SembCorp Marine acquired SMOE andSembawang Bethlehem from SembCorpUtilities and Sembawang Corporation Limitedrespectively in August 2006 for a total of $183.7million, including the assumption of a loan ofapproximately $117.0 million.

OverviewSembCorp Marine Group is committed to meetinghigh standards of corporate governance. Itscorporate governance principles reflect its strongbelief in protecting and enhancing shareholders'value in a sustainable way. The Group firmlybelieves that the professionalism, integrity andcommitment of its Board Members andemployees, supported by a sound system ofpolicies, practices and internal controls are thecornerstones that will enable it to preserve long-term value and returns for its shareholders.

SembCorp Marine endorses the principles of theCode of Corporate Governance issued by theSingapore Exchange Securities Trading Ltd. Thisreport outlines SembCorp Marine’s corporategovernance processes and activities for thefinancial year with reference to the principles setout in the Code.

Board of DirectorsEffective Board to Lead and Effect Controls:Principle 1: Every Company should be headedby an effective Board to lead and control thecompany. The Board is collectively responsiblefor the success of the company. The Board workswith the Management to achieve this and theManagement remains accountable to the Board.

The Board’s responsibility is to oversee thebusiness, affairs and performance of theSembCorp Marine Group in the best interests ofits shareholders. The Board focuses its activitieson the Group’s key requirements such as:

• Providing entrepreneurial leadership anddirections for the Group

• Ensuring prudent and effective controls

• Setting values and standards to ensureobligations to shareholders are met

• Overseeing the proper conduct of the Group’sbusiness

The full Board meets quarterly each year to reviewand discuss reports by management on theperformance of the Group, its plans andprospects. Additional Board meetings are alsoheld where required. A total of five Board meetingswere held in the year, with Board attendancesshown in the chart below.

To ensure efficient discharge of its responsibilitiesand to provide independent oversight ofManagement, the Board has established a numberof Board committees, including the AuditCommittee, Executive Resource & CompensationCommittee, Nominating Committee and Board

Risk Committee. These committees are made upmostly of independent and/or non-executivedirectors. Other ad-hoc committees can beformed from time to time to look into specificareas when the need arises.

Membership in the different committees is carefullymanaged to ensure that there is equitabledistribution of responsibilities among BoardMembers, to maximise the effectiveness of theBoard and foster active participation andcontribution. Diversity of experiences andappropriate skills are also considered.

In addition, the Board has adopted a set of internalcontrols which sets out approval limits fortransactions, procurement of goods and services,capital expenditure, investments and divestments,bank borrowings and cheque signatories’arrangements at Board level. Approval sub-limitsare also provided at Management levels tofacilitate operational efficiency.

Strong and Independent Board exercisingObjective JudgmentPrinciple 2: There should be a strong andindependent element on the Board, which is

able to exercise objective judgment on corporateaffairs independently, in particular, fromManagement. No individual or small group ofindividuals should be allowed to dominate theBoard’s decision making.

Chaired by Mr Goh Geok Ling, the Board hasnine directors of whom eight are non-executivedirectors, and five are independent directors. MrTan Kwi Kin who is the Group President and CEOof SembCorp Marine is the executive director. MrWong Weng Sun, alternate director to Mr Tan, isthe President and COO of SembCorp Marine.

The Board is composed of a majority of non-executive directors, independent of managementand independent in terms of character andjudgement. The criterion of independence is basedon the definition given by the Code, ie anindependent director is one who has norelationship with the Company, its relatedcompanies or its officers that could interfere orbe reasonably perceived to interfere with theexercise of the directors’ independent judgmentin the conduct of the Company’s affairs. Thisenables the Management to benefit from anexternal and objective perspective on issues thatare brought before the Board.

The directors consider that the Board is of theappropriate size and with the right mix of skillsand experience given the size of SembCorpMarine. The Board members comprise businessleaders, current or retired CEOs, professionalswith financial background and a practising lawyer.Profiles of the Directors are found on pages 42to 45 of this Annual Report.

Board CommitteesSembCorp Marine has four Board committees:-

• Audit Committee

• Executive Resource & Compensation Committee

• Nominating Committee

• Risk Committee

The Executive Resource & CompensationCommitteeThe Executive Resource & CompensationCommittee ("ERCC") was chaired by Mr GohGeok Ling and includes Mr Tan Tew Han, Mr AjaibHaridass and Mr Tang Kin Fei as members.

The Committee oversees executive compensationand development with the aim of building capableand committed senior management throughfocused management and progressive policieswhich can attract, motivate and retain talentedexecutives to meet the current and future needsof the Group. To this end, it reviews and approvesremuneration and promotion of key executivesas well as to decide on issues pertaining to theirdevelopment and succession. Hence, it alsoestablishes guidelines on share options and otherlong term incentives plans and approves the grantof such incentives to key executives. Theunderlying philosophy is to motivate executivesto maximise operating and financial performanceand shareholders’ value.

On an annual basis, the Committee conducts asuccession planning review of the Group President& CEO, all his direct reports, and selected keypositions in SembCorp Marine. Potential internaland external candidates for succession arereviewed for different time horizons of immediate,medium-term and longer-term needs.

The Committee further reviews the remunerationof its non-executive directors, executive directorand senior executives, as well as major humanresource management and compensation policiesand practices for the rest of the Group. While theCommittee’s Chairman is not independent, he isa non-executive director independent ofManagement with a clear separation of his rolefrom Management in deliberations of theCommittee. No ERCC member or any Directoris involved in deliberations in respect of anyremuneration, compensation, options or any formof benefits to be granted to him.

The Committee also has access to expertprofessional advice on human resource matterswhenever there is a need to consult externally.In its deliberations, it takes into considerationindustry practices and norms in compensation.The Group President & CEO is not present duringthe discussions relating to his own compensation,terms and conditions of service, and the reviewof his performance.

The Committee meets among its memberswithout the presence of Management, at leastonce a year. For the year in review, it held threemeetings and achieved full attendance.

Nominating CommitteeThe Nominating Committee was chaired byMr Goh Geok Ling and includes Mr Tan Tew Han,Mr Ajaib Haridass and Mr Tang Kin Fei asmembers.

Although the Nominating Committee and theERCC do not comprise of a majority ofindependent directors within the definition ofthe Code, the Chairman is independent ofManagement. The Committee is thereforeindependent as a whole.

Risk CommitteeThe Risk Committee was formed in April 2005 aspart of SembCorp Marine’s effort to formaliseand strengthen its risk management frameworkand processes. Prior to its formation, its role andfunctions were carried out by the Audit Committee.

Currently, the Risk Committee comprises fourmembers, namely Mr Ajaib Haridass as Chairman,Mr Tan Tew Han, Mr Tang Kin Fei and Mr JosephKwok Sin Kin as members.

The Committee’s primary role and function is toassist the Board of Directors in fulfilling itsoversight responsibilities in risk management byreviewing:-

• The adequacy and effectiveness of the Group’srisk management plans, systems, processesand procedures of the Group

• Group-wide risk policies, guidelines and controlsand procedures

• The risk portfolio and risk levels including thetreatment of identified risks

During the year in review, the Risk Committeeheld four meetings, and all members participatedactively at all the meetings.

Chairman and Chief Executive OfficerPrinciple 3: There should be clear division ofresponsibilities at the top of the company – theworking of the Board and the executiveresponsibility of the Company’s business –which will ensure a balance of power and authority,such that no one individual represents aconsiderable concentration of power.

There is a clear separation of the roles andresponsibilities between the Chairman and theGroup President. The Group President is notrelated to the Chairman, Mr Goh Geok Ling.

The Chairman, who is non-executive, takes aleading role in the SembCorp Marine Group’sdrive to achieve and maintain a high standard ofcorporate governance with the full support of thedirectors, Company Secretary and Management.

He is responsible for the leadership of the Board,ensuring its effectiveness on all aspects of itsrole and setting its agenda. He acts independentlyin the best interests of the Group andshareholders. Meanwhile, the Group Presidentis charged with the executive responsibility ofrunning the Group’s business. The Chairmanfacilitates the contribution of non-executivedirectors in particular and ensures constructiverelations between executive and non-executivedirectors. He also ensures that the members ofthe Board work together with the Managementin constructive debate on various matters,including strategic issues and operational issues.

Formal Appointment and Re-Election ofDirectorsPrinciple 4: There should be a formal andtransparent process for the appointment of newdirectors to the Board.

The Board does not believe it is possible tocompile a list of criteria which are appropriate tocharacterise, in all circumstances, whether a non-executive director is independent. It is theapproach and attitude of each non-executivedirector which is important. The Board aims fordiversity of knowledge and experienceamong its members in relation to the variousbusinesses of the Group and the internationalnature of the Group.

The Board, through the delegation of its authorityto the Nominating Committee, has used its bestefforts to ensure that directors appointed to theBoard possess the background, experience andknowledge in technology, business, financeand management skills critical to the Group’s

businesses and that each director brings to theBoard an independent and objective perspectiveto enable balanced and well-considered decisionsto be made.

SembCorp Marine believes that all directorsshould be submitted for re-election at regularintervals, subject to continued satisfactoryperformance. The Group President, while also aboard member, is also required to retire and offerhimself for re-election by shareholders as part ofboard renewal. As nominations and election ofBoard members are the prerogatives andproper rights of all shareholders, the Boardensures the planned and progressive refreshingof its members.

The Company’s Articles of Association requireone-third of directors to retire and subjectthemselves for re-election by shareholders atevery Annual General Meeting (AGM) (“one-thirdrotation rule”). In other words, no director staysin office for more than three years withoutbeing re-elected by shareholders. At theforthcoming AGM, Mr Tan Pheng Hock, MrKiyotaka Matsuzawa and Mr Ajaib Haridass willeach submit themselves for retirement and re-election by shareholders pursuant to the one-third rotation rule.

In addition, newly-appointed directors will submithimself for retirement and election at the AGMimmediately following his appointment. Thereafter,he is subject to the one-third rotation rule. MrRon Foo Siang Guan and Mr Joseph Kwok SinKin, who were both appointed to the Board on30 June 2006, will each submit themselves forretirement and re-election by shareholders at theforthcoming AGM.

Board performance and conduct of its affairsActive Participation and Valuable Contributionsare key to Overall Effectiveness of the BoardPrinciple 5: There should be a formal assessmentof the effectiveness of the Board as a whole and

the contribution by each director to theeffectiveness of the Board.

Newly-appointed directors are given briefings bythe Management. Facility visits to the premisesare also arranged to enable them to acquire anunderstanding of the Group, its business activitiesand its strategic directions. Existing directors arealso invited to such facility visits and orientationprogrammes.

Changes to regulations and accounting standardsare monitored closely by Management. To keeppace with regulatory changes, where thesechanges have an important bearing on the Group’sor directors’ disclosure obligations, Directors arebriefed either during Board meetings, or atspecially-convened sessions, including at trainingsand seminars conducted by external professionals.Where necessary, the Group also sponsors itsDirectors to training, courses and seminars suchas new or changes in laws, regulations andaccounting standards, which are of relevance tothe Group.

Informal reviews of a Board’s performance areundertaken on a continual basis by the NominatingCommittee with inputs from the other Boardmembers and the Group President. The Boardcomposition is constantly reviewed to ensurestrong, independent and sound leadership for thecontinued success of the Group’s business. TheBoard recognizes the contribution of directorswho over time have developed deep insights intothe Group’s businesses and would exercise itsdiscretion to retain the services of such directors.

Full access to Information and ResourcesDirectors have Complete, Adequate and TimelyInformation and ResourcesPrinciple 6: In order to fulfil their responsibilities,the Board members should be provided withcomplete, adequate and timely information priorto board meetings and on an on-going basis.

The Company Secretary assiststhe Board to upkeep and implement goodcorporate governance and best practicesacross the Group.

Competitive Remuneration ReportRemuneration of Directors Adequate and notExcessivePrinciple 7: There should be a formal andtransparent procedure for developing policy onexecutive remuneration and for fixing theremuneration packages of individual directors.No director should be involved in deciding hisown remuneration.

The Group President, as Executive Director, doesnot receive director’s fees. He is a lead memberof Management. His compensation consists ofhis salary, allowances, bonuses, performanceshare and restricted share awards conditionalupon his meeting certain performance targets(details are available on page 138 to 140 of theAnnual Report) and options. Details on shareplans granted and its fair value are available onpages 135 to 140 and page 201 of the AnnualReport, respectively.

Non-executive directors have remunerationpackages that consist of a directors’ feecomponent according to SembCorp Marine’sDirectors’ Fee Policy, an attendance feecomponent and a share options componentaccording to SembCorp Marine’s Employee ShareOption Plan. SembCorp Marine does not havea retirement plan for non-executive directors. TheDirectors’ Fee Policy is based on a scale of feesdivided into basic retainer fees as director andadditional fees for attendance and service onBoard committees (details are available on page30 of the Annual Report). Details on share options

granted and its fair value are available on pages135 to 140 and page 201 of the Annual Report,respectively.

The basis of allocation of the number of shareoptions takes into account a director’scontributions and additional responsibilities atboard committees. The report on directors’remuneration is found on page 209 of the AnnualReport.

The fee structure for the directors had beenrevised by the Board in 2006 after benchmarkingthe directors fees against those in the public andprivate sectors. SembCorp Marine believes thatthe fees are competitive and its directors areadequately compensated and in line withmarket norms.

The directors’ fee for 2006 is $767,125 ($353,832in 2005) and is derived using the following rates:

The detai led breakdown of Directors’remunerations are found at page 209 of theAnnual Report.

Competitive Reward System to Ensure HighestPerformance and Retention of Best Talentsand Key ExecutivesPrinciple 8: The level of remuneration should beappropriate to attract, retain and motivate the

directors needed to run the Company successfullybut companies should avoid paying more than isnecessary for this purpose. A significant proportionof executive directors’ remuneration should bestructured so as to link rewards to corporate andindividual performance.

Disclosure on RemunerationPrinciple 9: Each company should provide cleardisclosure of its remuneration policy, level andmix of remuneration, and the procedure for settingremuneration in the company’s annual report. Itshould provide disclosure in relation to itsremuneration policies to enable investors tounderstand the link between remuneration paidto directors and key executives, and performance.

SembCorp Marine adopts an incentivecompensation plan for key executives tied to thecreation of economic value add, as well as theattainment of individual performance goals. Anindividual’s incentive compensation is linked tothe economic-value-add created by SembCorpMarine Group and its subsidiaries.

A “bonus bank” is used to hold incentivecompensation credited in any year. Typically, one-third of the available balance is paid out in casheach year, with the balance being carried forwardto the following year. Such carried forwardbalances may either be reduced or increased infuture, based on the yearly economic-value-addperformance of the SembCorp Marine Group andits subsidiaries.

The Board has decided not to prepare a separateremuneration report as most of the informationis found in the directors’ report. This Annual Reporthas indicated where the information required tobe disclosed can be found.

To provide a macro perspective of theremuneration patterns of key executives, whilemaintaining confidentiality, the following tableshows the numbers of key employees inremuneration bands of S$250,000 from S$100,000.

Internal Controls and RiskManagementPrinciple 12: The Board should ensure that theManagement maintains a sound system of internalcontrols to safeguard the shareholders’investments and the company’s assets.

Internal ControlsThe Company’s controls are implemented throughtheir risk assessment and evaluation processesand internal audit processes for key businessactivities. Whistle blowing procedures have alsobeen set up to add another avenue for controls.

Risk ManagementSince the introduction of the Enterprise RiskManagement ("ERM") programme in 2004, all themajor shipyards in the Group have integrated thisprogramme into their management systems. Thelatest business unit addition to the Group, SMOEPte Ltd, has also adopted this programme.

Through the ERM programme, the Group reviewedthe risks register and have identified key risks.The Group has established policies, guidelinesand control procedures, including monitoring andreporting systems across its business units, tomanage its exposure to such risks.

The management has developed the risktreatment plans and the status of the top threerisk categories are reported and monitored at theBoard Risk Committee ("BRC") meetings.

The top three risk categories are:

• Project management risks

Inadequate control and management of

engineering, procurement and construction,including contract and variation ordersmanagement, resulting in unprofitable projects

• Health, safety, security and environment risks(“HSSE”)

Inadequate HSSE management, resulting inbodily harm and property damages, in particular,from fire and explosion hazards, falling fromheight and pollution of the environment.

• Financial risks

Inadequate attention and mitigation measuresagainst risks associated with foreign exchangeand interest rates fluctuations and provision ofguarantees, resulting in financial losses.

In addition to the BRC proceedings, the GroupPresident & CEO chairs the Project Managementmeetings, which focus on the execution ofthe major projects. The Project Managementmeetings monitor, in particular, the engineering,procurement and construction schedules andresource allocations.

For HSSE risks, the Group Safety Committeefocused on 5 major programmes: Risk Management,Group HSE conference, Health Managementprogramme, Fatigue Management and the BestPractice Manual.

For Financial Risks, the focus was on managingthe rapidly declining US$ vis-à-vis the S$. Theforward net US$ flow was closely monitored andthe hedging proposal, approved by the Board, wasexecuted. In addition, the procedure for adoptionof the US$:S$ rate for contract tendering and costmonitoring was formalised for Group-wideimplementation. The Group's financial riskmanagement is covered in greater detail in thenotes to the financial statements.

SembCorp Marine's Risk Management unit worksclosely with the business units to review andupdate the ERM framework and methodology. This

includes the tools developed to facilitate reportingand monitoring such as the project riskmanagement reporting templates. The next majorstep in the ERM process is to conduct complianceaudits in areas where no existing audit frameworkis in place for example, Project Management. Theaudit protocol was developed and is being appliedin one of the business units.

For Business Continuity Plan ("BCP") management,the focus has been on crisis handling proceduresin relations to Flu Pandemic and terrorism. Thebusiness units’ Flu Pandemic BCP has beenaligned within the Group via the SembCorp Marinechecklist for Flu Pandemic BCP. The businessunits’ International Ship and Port Facility Security(ISPS) status continues to keep current theirresponse plans against possible terrorism threats.

The Group's risk management systems andprocesses are constantly reviewed and updatedto be current with the dynamic businessenvironment. Where applicable, the various riskmanagement initiatives are embedded into thework systems and processes at the various levelsof the Group, so that the related risks are detectedand flagged out timely, for effective mitigationand control actions. This will enable the Groupto remain on track to achieve its business goalsand growth plans.

Whistle-Blowing PolicyThe Group has adopted a constructive whistle-blowing culture to detect and deter wrongdoingin preparing and implementing accurate andcomplete financial policies, reports and materialsas well as the internal controls essential to supportits financial and accounting systems.

Demonstrating its pledge to good corporategovernance, the Group provides an avenue foremployees to bring their complaints responsiblyto report any possible improprieties in mattersof financial reporting or other matters that theymay encounter to the Audit Committee or any

other committees established by the AuditCommittee for such purposes without fear ofreprisal. The establishment of the whistle-blowingstructure also augments the Group’s ability todetect potential fraud, providing another level ofcomfort and assurance to investors.

Internal AuditIndependent Internal Audit FunctionPrinciple 13: The Company should establish aninternal audit function that is independent of theactivities it audits.

SembCorp Marine’s internal audit function issupported by the Internal Audit Department whichreports on audit matters directly to the AuditCommittee Chairman and administratively to theGroup President. This department plans its internalaudit schedules in consultation with, butindependent of, Management. Its plan is submittedto the Audit Committee for approval at thebeginning of each year.

To ensure that the internal audits continue to beperformed by competent professionals, InternalAudit Department continues to recruit and employsuitably qualified staff. The internal audit functionprovided by the department continues to meetwith the standards set by the Institute of InternalAuditors.

Communication withShareholdersThe Board is accountable to the shareholdersPrinciple 10: The Board should present a balancedand understandable assessment of the company’sperformance, position and prospects.

Regular, Effective and Equal Communicationsto ShareholdersPrinciple 14: Companies should engage inregular, effective and fair communication withshareholders.

The SembCorp Marine Group achieved another record turnover and profits in 2006.

Group turnover recorded a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 29 per cent from$1.01 billion in 2002 to $3.55 billion in 2006. Group profit after tax and minority items(PATMI) reached a record high of $238.4 million while return on equity (ROE) improvedfrom 12 per cent to 20 per cent.

Economic value-added (EVA) attributable to shareholders was $139.9 million, a 121per cent improvement from 2005.

The Board of SembCorp Marine is proposing a final and gross dividend of 10.0 centsper share (less income tax) and a one-tier tax exempt dividend of 1.5 cents per share.Together with the interim gross dividend of 3.5 cents per share, total gross dividend for2006 would be 15.0 cents per share. This significant dividend payout ratio at 77 percent, demonstrates the Group’s commitment to shareholder value.

GROUP FIVE-YEAR PERFORMANCE2002SembCorp Marine’s revenue hit a high of $1.012billion, 18 per cent higher than that achieved in2001. The improvement was due mainly to increasedrevenue from new building and ship conversionprojects. Group pre-tax profit rose to a record $116.3million. Exceptional items contributed $6.7 million,while the associated companies and joint venturecontributed $6.1 million. Group PATMI includingexceptional items grew by 12 per cent to $92.1million.

2003This was a record year for the SembCorp MarineGroup. Despite the difficult operating environment,Group revenue attained a record high of $1.068billion, 6 per cent higher than 2002’s S$1.012 billion.This performance was attributable mainly to volumeincreases in ship-conversion and new buildingprojects, which more than offset the decline in ship-repair revenue. Ship repair had been affected bythe Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS)outbreak in the region during the first half of theyear as well as the postponement of vessel repairsas a result of high freight rates.

Group PATMI including exceptional items declined15 per cent to $78.5 million, compared to $92.1million in 2002. The decline was mainly due tosubdued performance in ship repair as well as lowerexceptional gains of $1.3 million, compared to $6.7million in 2002. If exceptional items and the effectof prior year tax over-provision were excluded, theGroup’s PATMI would have declined by just 8 percent from $80.8 million in 2002 to $74.0 million in2003.

2004This was another record year for SembCorp Marine.Group turnover was at its record of $1.36 billion,a growth of 28 per cent from $1.07 billion in 2003. This growth was driven mainly by increased revenuefrom both the ship conversion and ship repairsectors. The shipbuilding and rig building sectorsrecorded declines as most of the projects werepending take-up or in the early stages of productionas at end of 2004.

Group operating profit increased 26 per cent from$74.3 million to $93.9 million. Group pre-tax profit

increased 20 per cent from $95.2 million to $114.0million due to improvements in the ship conversionand ship repair sectors as well as increasedcontributions from a joint venture and associatedcompanies. Net profit for 2004 reached a recordhigh of $95.0 million, an increase of 21 per centfrom $78.5 million in 2003. Excluding exceptionalitems, net profit grew by 27 per cent to $98.1 million.

2005Group turnover registered a record high at $2.12billion, an increase of 56 per cent attributable togrowth across all business segments, in particularthe offshore conversion and rig building segments.

Group operating profits increased by 34 per centto $124.5 million, while Group pre-tax profits grewby 41 per cent to $159.9 million. The increase wasdue mainly to better operating profits andcontribution from the associated company acquiredduring the year. Group tax charge was higher in2005 mainly resulting from a $4.2 million write-backof prior years’ tax over-provision, arising from a 2per cent reduction in corporate income tax rate in

2004. Excluding the prior year tax provisions, Groupattributable profits in 2005 actually increased by 36per cent from $89.9 million to $122.0 million.

2006Group turnover increased by 67 per cent from $2.12billion to $3.55 billion with growth mainly attributableto the rig building and ship repair businesses.

Group operating profits increased by 83 per centfrom $124.5 million in 2005 to $228.2 million in2006. Group pre-tax profits also climbed by 95 percent from $159.9 million to $310.9 million. Thisimprovement was attributable mainly to higheroperating margins from the rig building and shiprepair businesses, gain on disposal of investmentsas well as better contribution from associatedcompanies. Group attributable profits increased by96 per cent from $121.4 million to $238.4 million.Excluding the non-operating items of $20.5 million,Group attributable profits rose by 83 per cent to$217.8 million.

Shareholders’ ReturnsReturn on Equity, EVA, Dividends and Earningsper SharesThe Group’s return on equity (ROE) grew by 67per cent to 20 per cent in 2006 as a result of therecord profit achieved for the year under review.Economic value-added (EVA) attributable toshareholders was $140 million, an outstanding121 per cent improvement from 2005.

The Board of Directors of SembCorp Marine isproposing a final and gross dividend of 10 centsper share (less income tax) to optimise utilisationof the section 44 balance and a one-tier taxexempt dividend of 1.5 cents per share, makinga total annual dividend of 15.0 cents per share.This significant dividend payout ratio at 77 percent shows the Group’s commitment toshareholder value.

The recommended dividend for 2006 took intoconsideration the Group’s present cash flowposition, positive cash flow generated fromoperations and projected capital requirement.Payment of the final proposed dividend is subjectto the approval of shareholders of SembCorpMarine at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

To maximise shareholder value, SembCorp Marinewill continue its policy of paying high level of finaldividends to return excess cash generation fromoperations where possible, as long as the cashis not required for investments in the future. Somecash resources will be required for the set up ofnew facilities and capabilities to expand theexisting operations and any potential mergersand acquisitions.

Share Purchase MandateApart from the distribution of dividend toshareholders, the Share Purchase Plan providesthe Company an alternate avenue to rewardshareholders. The Company will again seekshareholders’ approval to renew the SharePurchase Mandate for the purchase of up to 10%of the number of ordinary shares in the capitalof the Company in the coming ExtraordinaryGeneral Meeting.

This will give the Company the flexibilityto undertake the share purchase exerciseexpeditiously.

RISK MANAGEMENT1. Operational RiskThe Group operates in 10 countries with assetsand activities spreading across Asia Pacific andBrazil. As part of its plan to grow its businessinternationally, the Group will continue to focuson increasing its operating activities and presencein Brazil, Greater China and Middle East. Seniormanagers are posted overseas to oversee theoperational risk. The Group expects that as partof its business strategy, the percentage of itsoverseas-sourced assets and customers willincrease moving forward, thereby achieving theeffects of greater geographical diversification.Likewise, a broader base of significant customerswill reduce the risk of customer concentration.

2. Investment RiskThe Group seeks to grow its business throughorganic growth of its existing capabilities,development of new capabilities and acquisitionof business entities or operating assets.Investment activities, ranging from theidentification of targets to the conducts of duediligence exercises, are supported by a dedicatedteam of experienced managers and augmentedby external professionals for specialised services.The business proposals are guided by a givenset of internal investment criteria, evaluated bysenior management before seeking final Boardof Directors’ approval.

3. Treasury & Financial RiskThe Group has in place an established treasurypolicy and guidelines for managing treasury andfinancial risks. The treasury policy seeks tooptimise the Group’s cost of capital, minimisethe adverse effects of fluctuations in currencyand interest rates on income and ensure sufficientfunds are available to meet financial obligationsand operational needs. The Group’s treasuryactivities are centrally managed in Singapore. Asa policy, the Group does not undertake speculativepositions for trading purposes.

4. Interest Rate RiskThe Group’s policy is to maintain an efficientoptimal interest cost structure using a mix offixed- and variable-rate debt, where workingcapital is financed by variable-rate loans whilelong-term investments are financed by fixed-rateloans. Surplus funds, if any, are placed withreputable banks and/or investment in bonds. TheGroup obtains additional funding through bankborrowings and leasing arrangements. TheGroup’s policy is to obtain the most favorableinterest rate available without increasing itsforeign-currency exposure.

5. Foreign Exchange RiskThe Group incurs foreign-exchange risk on salesand purchases that are denominated in variouscurrencies other than Singapore dollars, primarilythe US dollar, Euros and Japanese yen. Tominimise exposures on foreign-currency risks,the Group usually arranges for natural hedgingby matching costs in the same currency as salescollections.

6. Derivative Financial InstrumentRiskThe Group also utilises forward exchangecontracts and swaps with maturities of less than12 months to hedge foreign-currency-denominated financial assets, liabilities and firmcommitments. Under this arrangement, increasesor decreases in the Group’s foreign-currency-denominated financial assets, liabilities and firmcommitments partially offset gains and losses onthe hedging instruments. The Group only usesforeign-currency forward contracts and swapsfor hedging purposes.

7. Liquidity RiskTo measure liquidity risks, the Group monitors itsnet operating cash flow, maintains a level of cashand cash equivalents and secures committedfunding facilities from financial institutions. Inassessing the adequacy of these facilities,

management rev iews working capita lrequirements so as to mitigate the effects offluctuations in cash flows. Short-term funding isobtained from overdraft facilities and bank loans.

8. Credit RiskThe Group has no significant concentration ofcredit risk with any single counterparty andmonitors its exposure to credit risks arising fromsales to customers on an on-going basis wherecredit evaluations are done on customers thatrequire credit. The Group only deals with pre-approved counterparties with good credit ratingand imposes a cap on the amount to betransacted with any counterparty so as to reducethe concentration of risk. Cash terms, advancepayments and letters of credit or bank guaranteesare required for customers of lower credit standing.

9. Market RiskThe Group is exposed to market risk and the riskof impairment in the value of its investments held.The Group manages the risk of unfavourablechanges by cautious review of the investmentsbefore investing and continuous monitoring ofthe performance of investments held andassessing market risk relevent to which theinvestments operate.

10. Reputation RiskThe Group values its reputation in the market andhas put in place a communication programmeto ensure timely and effective communication ofkey information to our stakeholders at all times.

11. Insurance RiskWhere appropriate, the Group manages itsinsurance risks on a Group basis to leverage itsposition with the general insurance market.

The Group reviews its insurable risk profilecontinually and makes the necessary adjustmentson risk retention to optimize the coverage andcost. This is done with advice and support from

1. Interest RateThe Group’s cash and cash equivalents are largelyinvested in fixed deposits. Movement in interestrates will have significant impacts on the interestand investment income for the Group. Based onthe cash and cash equivalents for the Group of$503 million at the end of 2006, a one percentagepoint movement in effective fixed deposit interestrate is estimated to result in an annual $5.03million change in interest income for the Group.

2. Gross Profit MarginBased on the turnover of $3.55 billion in 2006,a one percentage point movement in the grossprofit margin of the Group would lead to a $35.5million change in gross profit for the Group. Thereare many different programmes undertaken acrossthe Group to smoothen out specific projectsfluctuations.

3. OthersOther risk factors that will have an impact onturnover and net profits tends to be sector-specific, hence it is not practical to performsensitivity analysis in such an instance.

Turnover contributed by the ship repair segmentrose 15.4 per cent to $612 million. A total of 314vessels were repaired in the Group’s shipyardsin 2006 compared to 309 in 2005. Revenue pervessel edged up from $1.72 million per vessel to$1.95 million.

High value repairs to tankers, container vesselsand bulk carriers as well as upgrading of floatingproduction-storage-offloading (FPSO) vesselsand offshore jack-ups continued to dominate thevessel mix, accounting for 84 per cent of the shiprepair revenue.

Long-term strategic alliances continued to providea steady and growing baseload in 2006. Togetherwith regular customers, they accounted for 82per cent of total ship repair turnover.

Market Outlook for Ship RepairSectorThe Group expects ship repair demand to remainstrong especially in the specialised market ofLNG/LPG gas tankers, VLCC tankers andcontainer vessels.

Turnover for the shipbuilding segment rose by 12per cent to $211 million in 2006. During the year,the Group completed and delivered three 2,646TEU containerships for Wan Hai Lines and onefor Reederei F Laeisz in 2006 and 15 floatingpontoons.

Market Outlook for theShipbuilding SectorThe shipyards in Singapore continued to enjoy aniche market position for customised andspecialised vessels. Buoyed by the robust marketfundamentals, strong demand is expected fornew builds of offshore supply vessels as well asfeeder container vessels in the future.

Turnover for the ship conversion and offshoresegment registered a modest growth of 3.1 percent to $913 million in 2006, contributing 26 percent to total revenue.

Outlook for the Ship Conversionand Offshore SectorThe Group foresees that global demand forenergy will continue to grow. Although oil priceshave fallen, they remain in the $60 range.Exploration and production spending is generallypositive, and drill rig demand continues to bevery strong. Also, order intake for new floatershas spiked at an all-time high.

Global oil demand continues to growIn its latest Oil Market Report, the IEA sawdemand for oil growing at a rate of 1.1 per centin 2006, averaging 84.5 Mb/d in 2006 versus83.6 Mb/d in 2005. Demand in 2007 is expectedto average 85.9 Mb/d, an increase of 1.7 percent over 2006.

FY 2006 Percentage Completion ($ m) $913.4

Almost 40 per cent of the projected increase inoil consumption in 2007 results from increasedAsian oil demand. China oil consumption isprojected to continue to grow at a strong pace,increasing by 6.2 per cent in 2006 and 5.4 percent in 2007. By end 2007, China is expectedto account for 8.6 per cent of total world oildemand. Five years ago, China represented only6.5 per cent of global oil demand.

Longer term, the IEA sees primary energy demandincreasing by 53 per cent between 2006 and2030. More than 70 percent of this increase willresult from demand growth in developingcountries, particularly China and India. To satisfyenergy requirements, the latest IEA forecast callsfor world oil demand to reach 116 Mb/d in 2030,up from 84.5 Mb/d in 2006. A more bullish U.S.EIA sees global consumption rising to 118 Mb/din 2030.

Meeting this long-term growth will be atremendous challenge. It will require new sourcesof oil, conventional and non-conventional, to befound and produced. Central to this entire scenariois the increasing role of floating production as asource of oil supply.

Oil and natural gas prices remain strongReflecting the drop in spot prices, the futuresprice for crude has fallen slightly over the pastseveral months. But the futures price remainsvery strong, with light sweet crude trading closeto $69 for December 2008 delivery and just under$66 for December 2012 delivery.

Industry analysts largely agree with the futuresmarket on the expected price of crude.Bloomberg’s survey of 29 industry analysts inOctober 2006 produced a median forecast of $64per barrel in 2007. Outside of this range, BarclaysCapital expects oil to average $76.70 per barrel.

The futures price for natural gas has also remainedstrong. As of late November 2006, Henry Hubgas for December 2007 delivery is trading justover $9 per MMBtu. Gas for delivery in December2011 is trading around $7.50.

Exploration and production spending outlookremains generally positiveLehman Brothers’ capital spending survey of 308oil and gas companies as at mid-year indicatedthey were planning to commit $261 billion to capitalexpenditures in 2006, an increase of 21.3 per centover the previous year.

Despite the recent drop in spot prices, majoroffshore field operators have given no indicationthat they plan to change spending plans forexploration and production significantly over theforeseeable future. At an API conference in October2006, the CEO of ExxonMobil said the companywould hold capital expenditures at about$20 billion for the next two or three years. Similarly,Shell indicated at the same conference that itwould continue with its planned offshore projectseven if oil prices were half the current level.

However, the recent weakness in spot oil and gasprices has created some uncertainty over activitiesin the Gulf of Mexico. ODS says only 355 drillingplans have been submitted to MMS so far thisyear, compared to 404 the same period last year.Also, the most recent UBS’ PatchWork Surveyfound that spending for exploration and production

will be relatively flat in the Gulf of Mexico, andrig activity is expected to soften from currentlevels over the next few months. According tothe survey, about one-third of the respondentsexpected to increase spending, another one-thirdexpected to decrease spending, and the remainingone-third expected no change in spending.However, this softness appeared to be largelylimited to the shallow water activity in the Gulf ofMexico. Deepwater projects appeared to beunaffected.

Perhaps the best barometer of offshore spendingexpectations as they impact the floatingproduction sector is the project pipeline list. Thereare now 108 such projects in the list, which isjust one less than the number of projects reportedin July. This is despite a dozen projects movingfrom the projects list to development over thelast four months and nine projects being deletedfrom the previous pipeline list. They were replacedby an almost equal number of new projects thatemerged during the same period, reflecting thecontinuing pursuit of new projects. More generally,IMA in its November 2006 report observed thatthere was absolutely no indication of softness inthe floating production sector. To the contrary,the sector was extremely strong.

Production floater orders have spikedTo say the sector is booming is not an exaggeration.Since the July 2006 report, 17 production floatershave been ordered, at an ordering pace of 3.6units per month. This ordering pace is far higherthan the average order intake of about 1.5 unitsper month over the past ten years.

Over the past 12 months there have been ordersfor 36 production floaters. This is considerably

higher than the range of 20 to 26 annual ordersin the five-year forecast since March 2005.However, 10 of the 36 orders have beenspeculatively placed. Essentially, these speculativehulls are pre-positioned candidates for meetingfuture production floater requirements. The hullswill eventually find field employment and becompleted as production floaters, likely for fieldsthat are in the planning pipeline.

The rig building sector registered the highestgrowth at $1.7 billion, up 353 per cent from the$381 million revenue in 2005.

Market Outlook for RigsDrill rig demand and utilisation are very strongDrill rig demand and utilisation remain extremelystrong. According to Rigzone, overall utilisationfor the entire competitive worldwide rig fleet iscurrently 88.5 per cent, an improvement from87.3 per cent a year ago. Within this average,drill ship utilisation stands at 79.4 per cent, semi-submersibles at 91.6 per cent and jack-ups at94.4 per cent.

Day rates reflect the high utilisation. Deepwaterdrill rigs are now averaging day rates of close toUS $220,000. But while these average rates areimpressive, individual rates that are now beingnegotiated are far more impressive. Two recentfour-year contracts negotiated by Global SantaFe for deepwater rigs starting in 2008 and 2009are in excess of US $500,000. Equally impressiveis the impact that day rates are having on ordersfor new equipment. According to Noble Drilling,there were 105 new drill rigs on order worldwideas of early November 2006. They included 10drill ships, 30 semi-submersibles and more than60 jack-ups.

One of the better indicators of market conditionsin the offshore exploration and production sectoris the SCORE index compiled by Global SantaFe. This index tracks the profitability of rigcontracts over time. The base is set at a levelthat equals the sum of the daily cash operatingcost plus approximately $700 per day per$1 million invested. The higher the index, themore profitable is the current market. The indexnow stands at 132 compared to 94 a year agoand 48 two years back.

Strengthening Rig-Building andOffshore ActivitiesA major step forward in strengthening SembCorpMarine’s strategic positioning in the offshoreindustry were the acquisitions of SMOE fromSembCorp Utilities, as well as the land and assetsof Sembawang Bethlehem from SembawangCorporation. The acquisitions were unanimouslyapproved by shareholders during the ExtraordinaryGeneral Meeting on 23 August 2006.

The S$55 million acquisition of SMOE – arecognised leader in the engineering andconstruction of offshore platforms, floatingfacilities, and topside production modules – wouldstrengthen the Group’s position as a leadingplayer in the offshore oil and gas sector. It wouldalso enhance synergy among the Group’s yardsin providing turnkey offshore and marineengineering solutions. Sembawang Shipyard andSMOE had partnered in various conversionprojects in the past, including one of the world’slargest converted floating-production-storage-

offloading (FPSO) vessels. Both parties arecurrently working jointly on the ConocoPhillipsChina Inc.’s FPSO project for the Bohai Phase IIDevelopment Project (China).

With the inclusion of SMOE, the Group’s capacitywas expanded to include a 25-hectare fabricationyard located adjacent to Sembawang Shipyardwith clear access to the open sea, and a 30-hectare fabrication facility with 275 metres ofwaterfront on Indonesia’s Batam island.

Likewise, the S$128.73 million SembawangBethlehem acquisition would increase the Group’sflexibility to meet market demands and to growits rig building and offshore engineering business.The acquisition included 86 hectares of land,workshops, quays and docks located longAdmiralty Road East and Admiralty Road West.By owning these land and assets, the Groupwould be in a better position to reorganise itsresources and infrastructure for optimal utilisationand cost savings.

Increasing Production Capabilityand CapacityJurong Shipyard further increased its productioncapabilities and capacity with the installation ofseveral new state-of-the-art equipment andfacilities.

Expanding its steel fabrication capabilities andproduction capacity, the yard added two high-specification steel-cutting machines, a CNC

plasma-cutting machine for precision slicing ofsteel plates and a CNC plasma pipe-cuttingmachine used mainly for the production of jack-up legs.

Significant additions to the yard included newcovered workshops dedicated to jack-up rigproduction as well as movable covered workshopsallowing for greater operational versatility andmovement flexibility during block and jack-upassembly operations.

Expanding Rig-Building CapacityThe Group’s subsidiary PPL Shipyard developeda new yard at Tuas Crescent, at the western partof Singapore, to expand its capacity to cater togrowing rig building activity. The new Tuas yardcame into operation in September 2006 with akick-off strike steel ceremony for the P2016 jack-up building project.

With a shoreline frontage of 700 metres, awharf of 100 metres with water depth of5.5 metres, the new yard included two blastingchambers, two concrete-floored fabricationslabs and two 280-ton crawler cranes. Planswere underway to mobilise a large-capacity cranefor installation of leg sections, heavy modulesand structures.

These new facilities at the Tuas yard wouldcomplement PPL Shipyard’s existing PandanRoad yard, which has 700 metres of sea frontage

and 250 metres of wharf with a water depth of7 metres, two large workshops and two concretefabrication slabs. With the expansion, PPLShipyard’s combined yard capacity now comprisefour launchways for rigs assembly and erection,six blasting chambers and painting chambers,16 cranes (crawler cranes, crawler ringer cranesand platform ringer cranes) with capacities rangingfrom 15 to 800 tons.

Improving LNG Capabilities andFacilitiesSembawang Shipyard continued to build uponand improve its LNG repair capabilities andfacilities to provide world-class services to LNGcarrier owners and operators. The strong supportfrom the world’s leading LNG owners andoperators served as a strong affirmation of theshipyard’s capabilities in the highly specialisedLNG refit market, allowing the shipyard to be oneof the world’s leaders in this niche market.

Under the technical services agreement with GazTransport Technigaz, the shipyard’s dedicatedLNG team would be trained on membrane repairtechniques, design, repair procedures and allenvironmental, safety and preparatory worksrequired for LNG carriers, especially for the cargotanks repairs. The collaboration also covered the

training and requalification of welders and platersaccording to Gaz Transport Technigaz procedures.

In 2006, improvement to the shipyard’s LNGfacilities and capabilities included the addition ofnew fully air-conditioned cryogenic workshop toits comprehensive facilities. The new workshop,which came into operation in June 2006, wasequipped with a 5-ton overhead crane, two 2-tonhoists and dedicated tools used only for cryogenicrepair work. The workshop, the second of itskind at Sembawang Shipyard, would provide adust-free environment for the repairs of cryogenicmachinery such as valves and pumps at anambient temperature of 22°C. The first workshop,which was opened in early 2002, had two 2-tonwall jib cranes and a 5-ton hoist.

Embracing InnovationContinuous innovation and research anddevelopment activities would build greater valueand gear the Group for further growth and marketleadership.

Since the development of well-received proprietarydesigns in the Baker Marine Pacific Class 375deep drilling jack-up rig and the Jubilee Class2,586 to 2,646 TEU containerships, the Groupplanned to invest in the research and developmentof next-generation rig components and systems.

A strategic alliance between PPL Shipyard andthe Institute of High Performance Computingwould further strengthen the innovation focus bybringing researchers and engineers together toexchange ideas on design improvements.

At the same time, yards had been continuallyinnovating to improve process design, productivityand safety. A new Transverse Skidding Methoddeveloped during the year had added to thebenefits of the Load-out and Mating-in Dockprocess to build sophisticated deep-watersubmersible rigs more quickly, efficiently andsafely. Other innovations initiated by employeeshad been adopted at the Group’s yards to enhanceefficiency and safety throughout its operations.

Continuous innovation helped the Group to stay ahead in today’s competitiveenvironment. To further strengthen its leading edge, the Group maintained itscommitment to nurturing a proactive culture of innovation in all aspects of itsoperations.

90

Culture of InnovationSembCorp Marine focused on creating aconducive environment for innovation andcreativity to flourish. Promoted at all levels ofworkshops and office, innovation excellence sawimprovements in productivity, efficiency and safetyduring the year.

To inspire employees to embrace the spirit ofinnovation and generate novel ideas for workplaceimprovements, a variety of programmes suchas Innovation Exhibitions, Safety InnovationTeam competitions, creativity retreats andworkshops were organised throughout the yearacross the Group.

Singapore Innovation ClassJurong Shipyard had the honour of being the firstshipyard to be presented the Singapore InnovationClass certification by the Standards Productivityand Innovation Board Singapore in January 2006.The award recognised the yard’s efforts for havingthe 4Cs – Conditions, Culture, Competencies andConnectivity – in place as part of its integratedframework for innovation excellence. It also served

as an endorsement of Jurong Shipyard’scontinuous commitment and strong leadershipsupport towards sustained innovation.

Innovation in Design &EngineeringThe Group’s focus on R&D by the yards has ledto the development of several proprietary productdesigns, including the Baker Marine Pacific Class375 deep drilling jack-up rig design by PPLShipyard and the Jubilee Class 2,586 to 2,646TEU containership design by Jurong Shipyard.

PPL Shipyard also has strong expertise in thedesign of proprietary jacking systems for new-generation rigs. These engineering designs andsystems are continually refined and enhanced tocater to the changing needs and requirements ofcustomers. As part of its Technology Roadmap,PPL Shipyard is also investing in the R&D of next-generation rig components and systems as partof a strategic thrust to drive competitive growthin the industry.

R&D Alliances with PartnersThe Group continued to emphasise R&D allianceswith governmental and higher learning institutionsto enable mutual sharing of ideas as well as thedevelopment of innovative product designs andengineering systems for customers.

Lab-in-RI ProgrammePPL Shipyard broke new ground at the end of2006 by partnering the Institute of HighPerformance Computing in setting up an R&Dlaboratory within the Institute under a new “Lab-in-RI” programme. In doing so, the yard becamethe first maritime offshore and marine engineering

company to take the lead in the programme andto partner an A*STAR research institute (RI) in theestablishment of an R&D research facility.

The “Lab-in-RI” programme was spawned froman earlier collaboration between PPL Shipyard,the Institute and the Maritime & Port Authority in2005 on the “Design Analysis and Improvementof a New Generation Jack-up System” projectunder the “Tri-R&D” Programme. This projectembodied the yard’s strategy to further strengthenits competitive edge through R&D into proprietarydesigns and optimisation of new-generation jack-up rigs.

Under the “Lab-in-RI” initiative, which is expectedto continue until December 2007, threeresearchers from the Institute and three engineersfrom the yard would work together on a rotationalbasis to exchange ideas that would lead to newinnovations and better designs.

Innovation in Process DesignTransverse Skidding Semi-SubmersibleConstructionIn 2006, Jurong Shipyard took its successfulpatent-pending Load-out and Mating-in-Dockinnovation further by developing the ingeniousTransverse Skidding Method. The combinationof these two methods would allow multiple rigs

to be constructed simultaneously and assembledsequentially in a safe, secure manner at a relativelylow cost. Prior to that, only one semi-submersiblecould be constructed at any one time.

Combining Transverse Skidding with Load-outand Mating-in-Dock, one upper hull of a rig iserected on a skidding truss near the end of thedry dock, and another on a skid way beside thefirst. The lower hulls of both rigs are thenconstructed concurrently at a separate locationand towed to the dry dock. Once there, the upperhull is skidded longitudinally into position, whilethe lower hull is floated to be aligned and weldedpermanently with it. The fully assembled first rigcan then be floated out of the dry dock to preparefor the second rig-mating operation.

The innovative “Transverse Skidding” process isapplied at this juncture to skid the upper hull ofthe second rig transversely into position. Theupper hull is then jacked up to the requiredheight to sit on the withdrawn skid truss afterthe first rig mating operation. The load-out andmating sequence is then repeated to completethe second rig.

The Transverse Skidding process leads tosubstantially greater productivity and efficiencyas more rigs can be built at one time. Otherbenefits include the more effective usage of thedry dock and the skidding structures. Buildingthe upper hull of the second rig on temporarysupporting blocks at a much lower level alsoleads to a safer work environment and minimisesthe requirements on heavy lift operations.

Shopfloor Productivity and SafetyThe Group thrived on innovation to ensure thecontinuous improvement of its operations. Allemployees within the Group were encouraged toidentify opportunities for innovation in their dailywork operations through monthly suggestionschemes. Innovation-related events, such as theSafety Innovation Teams Convention, were alsoorganised to recognise staff who proposedinnovative ideas of performing everyday tasks in amore effective, efficient and safer way.

Safe SwingerWinning a gold at ASMI’s Innovation forOccupational Safety and Health awards wasSembawang Shipyard’s Hull Plannerz who haddeveloped the Safe Swinger. It also clinched a Meritaward at Sembcorp Industries’ IDEA Awards in2006.

The traditional process of turning accommodationladders during repairs relied heavily on overheadcranes to lift the weighty ladder for the turningprocess, causing wastage of manpower andelectricity and exposing workers to the risk of fallinghazards from heavy equipment.

The Safe Swinger, however, borrows the conceptof a pulley system and turns the ladders in asmooth horizontal motion that reduces falling riskhazards, eliminates electricity wastage and freesup the overhead lifting crane for other usages.Work efficiency has since increased five times,with approximately 30 per cent savings in manhours.

C-paratorThe C-parator, conceived by SembawangShipyard’s Health, Safety and EnvironmentDepartment, is a simple colour-coded cable hangerthat elevates hoses and cables to reduce the risksof tripping and falling, blocking emergency exitpassages, as well as fire, explosions andelectrocution accidents. The device won a goldaward at ASMI’s Innovation for Occupational Safetyand Health awards ceremony.

Combination Earth Cable Stripper and CrimperSembCorp Marine’s subsidiary Jurong Machineryand Automation accelerated the process of cablestripping and lug crimping with the CombinationEarth Cable Stripper and Crimper. Integrating apneumatic stripping device and hydraulic-operated

crimping component to deliver a quality finishwithout strenuous physical exertion, it eliminatesworkers’ exposure to injuries of the hands andfingers. It also ensures standardised quality andspeeds up earth cable production time by overthree folds. The project was awarded a silver atASMI’s Innovation for Occupational Safety andHealth awards ceremony.

Packing Quick Fitting DeviceJurong Shipyard’s Piping and Outfitting Sectiondeveloped the Packing Quick Fitting Device as asafer alternative for the renewal of rubber packing,the watertight lining below cargo hatch covers,during containership repairs. The previous methodof using a crowbar to compress and hammer thepacking into place exposed workers to the risk ofhand, finger, neck and back injuries. The use ofthe new versatile and lightweight device eliminatesdirect hand contact during installation. This hasresulted in higher accuracy and improvedproductivity, leading to cost-savings of about 56per cent due to fewer manpower requirementsand reduced time exposure to injury hazards.

Auto Pot Control PanelA more efficient system of controlling grit and airflow to blasting guns was conceived by JurongShipyard’s Hull Painting Section in the form of theAuto Pot Control Panel. In contrast to theconventional manual system, which was prone to

slow response and unnecessary grit wastage, thenew integrated system links the blasting gundirectly to the grit pot via automated pneumaticvalves. This new system drastically reduces thereaction time, enabling more efficient usage ofmanpower and grit. The improved and streamlinedcabling system also minimises electrical andhousekeeping hazards.

Bolt Hole Alignment ToolSembCorp Marine’s subsidiary Jurong MarineContractors devised the Bolt Hole Alignment Toolas a more productive and safer way of aligningbolt holes in a variety of fitting processes performedduring ship repair. With this cost-effective anduser-friendly device, less manpower is required tocomplete the task. Safety is also enhanced asworkers’ exposure to hand and finger injury isgreatly reduced.

Winch Wire HandlerThe Winch Wire Handler was conceived by JurongShipyard’s Hull Painting Section to enhance thesafety of air winch operations during the lifting ofscaffold materials from tanks. Serving as aprotective barrier, the Winch Wire Handlereliminates direct hand contact as the winch wireis passed through the device's durable copperinner core, thus minimising the occurrence of handand finger injuries. Designed with a tough rubberouter core and an end stopper, the device is alsonon-slippery, thus reducing the risks of incidentsassociated with material slippages.

Quick Ladder Install DeviceSembCorp Marine’s subsidiary Jurong IntegratedServices invented the Quick Ladder Install Deviceto provide secure ladder access to steel blocksduring assembly and outfitting works. This portabledevice is fitted firmly to the steel block by a clampnut and angle-lock nut, with two brackets tosecure each end of the ladder. With a properand more secure means of accessing the steelblocks, potential falling and tripping hazards aregreatly reduced, resulting in improved safetywithin the yard.

Best Practices across the GroupJoint workshops and seminars had alwaysencouraged the sharing of best safety practicesand safety improvement insights across theGroup’s subsidiary yards. In September, theGroup held its inaugural Safety Convention, whichfeatured a mini-exhibition showcasing innovativeworkplace and safety inventions, in addition tolively exchanges and discussion.

The convention also saw the launching of theyard's Best Practice Safety Manual. The manualleveraged the Group’s network of shared expertiseand experience by consolidating recommendedregulations from subsidiaries to serve as abenchmark of safety excellence for employees.The launch was marked by a signing ceremonyinvolving Mr Hawazi Daipi, Senior ParliamentarySecretary, Ministry of Manpower, and Mr W.S.Wong, SembCorp Marine’s President and ChiefOperating Officer.

Safety Induction DVDsJurong Shipyard officially launched the Permit-to-Work Safety DVD in August 2006 to improveits employees’ understanding of the yard’s safetycontrol framework. The DVD systematicallycovered the necessary safety precautions andstandard operating procedures under the Permit-

to-Work system, which required employeesand subcontractors to submit forms and obtainmanagement approval for potentially hazardousjobs such as hot work, spray painting, work inconfined spaces and the acquisition and use ofchemicals and hazardous materials.

Since then, the DVD became part of the yard’ssafety induction training programme for newemployees. A second safety induction DVD onforklift safety would be launched in 2007.

Safety PromotionVarious activities were held throughout the yearto foster greater safety consciousness. Toheighten safety awareness among employeesand sub-contractors, safety campaigns,exhibitions and workshops were organised todrive home the importance of conforming to goodsafety practices.

At SembCorp Marine’s subsidiary, JurongIntegrated Services, a “Zero Accident SafetyCampaign” was launched in March. Thecampaign, which included a 30-day exhibitionfor employees and contractors, successfully

reinforced participants’ knowledge of steelfabrication and hot work safety as well as properequipment handling on the job.

PPL Shipyard’s annual safety week campaignwas held in November to educate employees onsafety and health issues. Participated by 1,100employees, the campaign featured an interestingline-up of programmes, from seminars and talkson basic first aid, fire-fighting techniques, PersonalProtective Equipment usage, handling of eyetrauma and emergencies, depression and stressmanagement. Free health screening sessionswere also made available for employees to learnabout their current health situations.

Safety-Conscious CultureThe Employee Safety Consciousness CultureProgramme was initiated at Jurong Shipyard inJanuary 2006. Using a two-pronged approach,the programme involved a Safety PerformanceAward and the ALERT Programme to achievegood safety record.

Under the Safety Performance Award, employeeswould be collectively rewarded by sections forattaining an incident-free track record. Bymaintaining zero-incident for consecutive periods

of six and 12 months, they could convert theirsafety merits into cash or bonus points. Safetycertificate awards would also be given outquarterly to sections that remained incident-freefor a continuous period of at least three months.Sections or yards with considerable incidentswould be given demerit points, which could beconverted into cash equivalents for deduction.

As a counteractive measure, sections andsubsidiaries that had incurred lost-timeinjuries would then be required to participate inthe ALERT Programme. This programme wasdesigned with an individual rehabilitationprogramme for the injured employee to be trained,a safety performance record tracking the injuredemployee’s performance, monitoring and closersupervision of the injured employee by thesection manager for a year and a bonus deductionof the injured employee’s bonus in line withexisting practice. Subsequent incidencerecurrence could double or triple the employee’srehabilitation period.

Safety Programmes for ContractorPartnersBesides employee programmes, the Group didnot neglect to promote good safety performanceto its contractors and subcontractors.

At Jurong Shipyard, a new Safety MentoringScheme was introduced in August to motivateand encourage contractor partners to raise thebar in safety to meet targeted key performanceindicators. Under the scheme, subcontractorpartners with poor safety performance would becoached by a mentor from the yard. The mentorwould discuss and advise on safety issues withsubcontractors and help them address legal,technological, cultural and economical constraints.

Jurong Shipyard also continued with the SafetyPerformance Awards Programme and STARSafety Programme introduced in 2005 forcontractor partners. The Safety Performance

would include an individual rehabilitationprogramme for the injured worker, a temporarysuspension of the company from safety meritpoints and awards and a safety performancebond of $5,000 by the company as a promise toremain incident-free for three months. It alsorequired close monitoring by yard safetyengineers and a safety briefing by the sub-contractors’ bosses to their employees.

BRISK ProgrammeThe BRISK Programme, launched by Jurong SMLShipyard in September, was another programmethat brought employees and subcontractorstogether to take greater ownership of safety.

BRISK represented the five strategic thrusts –the Bond, Rehabilitation for injured, Incentive,Stick Strategy, and Key Persons programmes.

It was designed with a unique incentive strategy.Individuals would earn merit points throughsticker cards for participating in safety quizzes,safety poster and slogan competitions andhazard observations as well as for proposinginnovative safety ideas. These merit pointscould be exchanged for NTUC vouchers.Conversely, demerit points would be meted outto companies for safety violations and lost-timeincidents occurred.

In addition, points collected by employeesand subcontractor workers would be addedup by sections and companies to win furthercash awards. However, companies with negative

points would be required to participate in othersafety programmes.

Safety Enhancement at HeightsTo enhance safety standards while workingat heights, Jurong Shipyard introduced arope grab system in February. From then on,employees were required to secure a lanyard tolife line using a rope grab while working onhanging scaffolds. To complement the system,body harness lanyards were also changed fromdouble hooks to single hooks. Employeeswere also trained on the precautionary measuresand the proper usage of the system.

Technical engineers and above were also requiredto don body harness as part of the yard’sessential Personal Protective Equipment, togetherwith the safety helmet, safety glasses and safety

Awards Programme was introduced to rewardcontractors for achieving zero lost-time injury(LTI). Merit points could be converted to cashawards every quarter, and safety certificateswould be given to subcontractors that remainedincident-free over a continuous period ofthree, six, nine and 12 months. As a specialcommendation, companies who achieved1,000,000 man-hours without lost-time injury wouldbe conferred the “Million Man-Hour Gold Award”.

Similar to the employee ALERT Programme,sub-contractor companies that had incurredlost-time injuries were required to participatein the STAR Safety Programme. This programme

& AwardsThe company will be

temporarily suspendedfrom participating in theSafety Merit Point and

Safety Performance BondTo discourage further LTI* cases,subcontractor companies are to

provide a safety performancebond of at least $5000, dependingon their incident record. The bondwill expire without payment if thecompany remains incident-free

during the next 3 months.Otherwise, the bond must be paid

up in one lump sum.

Close Monitoring by YardSafety Engineers

For the next three months,safety checks will be steppedup on these companies toraise safety awareness and

avoid further LTI*.

Safety Briefing by Sub-contractor Boss

To reflect joint commitmenttowards safety, subcontractorbosses are to conduct a safety

induction and briefing forworkers in the presence of the

yard’s management.

Individual RehabilitationProgramme

On recovery, the injured workerhas to report to the safety

department for 1 hour everyworking day. Supervisors arenot allowed to assign work

Risk Management ProgrammeIn quick response to the new Workplace Safety& Health (Risk Management) Regulations thatcame into effect on 1 September 2006, theGroup rolled out a Risk Management Systemand managers’ education programme. Risk-assessment trainings were also conductedregularly on a Group-wide level to ensure thatmanagers and supervisors from all yards werewell-instructed on SembCorp Marine's riskmanagement system.

Emergency PreparednessSembCorp Marine's yards continued to holdnumerous fire and evacuation drills to ensure

activities included a demonstration on the useof thermoscan and N95 masks at PPL Shipyard.

In addition, joint safety and evacuation mockexercises were conducted jointly with theSingapore Civil Defence Force to foster betterrapport and synergy. In recognition of this closecooperation, the Force presented SembawangShipyard with the Strategic Partners Awardin September during its 25th anniversarycelebrations.

swift and efficient employee response in the eventof emergency. These drills were held at variouslocations, such as workshops, offices and onboardvessels. A total of 101 drills were held in 2006by the Group's yards.

In the wake of recent bird flu cases in the region,emergency response plans were drawn up acrossthe yards to ensure that employees would be wellprepared to handle possible outbreaks. FluPandemic Preparation Programmes were alsoheld to equip employees with the necessaryknowledge to protect themselves. One of these

SECURITY

International Code for Security ofShips and Port FacilitiesIn recognition of their comprehensive securitymeasures and systems, Jurong Shipyardand Jurong SML were certified in compliancewith the International Code for the Securityof Ships and Port Facilities (ISPS Code).The Maritime & Port Authority endorsed thecertifications in October following IntermediateISPS Verification Audits by STET ST Education& Training, an approved Recognised SecurityOrganisation. Sembawang Shipyard and PPLShipyard similarly achieved the necessarycertifications.

Entry ChecksTo protect against security breaches and acts ofterrorism, stringent security measures continuedto be in place to control and prevent unauthorisedentry during the year. Vehicular inspections andpersonnel checks served as the first line ofdefence in keeping yards safe from potentiallydangerous characters and items. When necessary,item searches would be carried out on suspiciouspersons to ensure that security was notcompromised.

Controlled AccessThe SMARTime system, leveraging RFIDsmartcard technology, was another way Groupyards tracked the movements of employees andresident subcontractor workers.

Building on the success of this system, JurongShipyard began pilot-testing a new BiometricVascular Control System to further assess controlsecurity. In addition to smartcards, the newsystem would require employees to undergobiometric scanning of their veins to allow moreaccurate identification before entry. Over 20biometric machines had been installed for thepilot programme.

Security Surveillance andEnforcementYards within the Group continued to step up theirsurveillance through conducting regular securitypatrols. CCTV surveillance cameras also monitoredthe safety of strategic areas such as the waterfrontas well as key assets and property. JurongShipyard further made plans for the upgrading ofits CCTV system to enhance security within itspremises in the coming year.

In the area of security enforcement, subcontractorswho violated security rules and regulations wouldhave levy charges imposed as a deterrent toprevent repeat offences from taking place.

Shipyards Security Watch GroupBeyond the yard, Jurong Shipyard continued tobe an active member of the Shipyards SecurityWatch Group – a partnership formed in November2004 together with the Maritime & Port Authority,Police Coast Guard, Jurong Police Division

Headquarters and two other shipyards – as partof continuous efforts to enhance communitysafety and security in the South West DistrictCommunity.

Among the many programmes under the watchgroup, the yard took part in a modus operandiCombined ISPS Security Exercise in August toensure operational readiness and swift responsein an emergency. The watch group also organisedthe annual Shipyards Security Seminar in January,where Jurong Shipyard shared its anti-terrorismstrategies with other members. The yard further

ENVIRONMENTThe SembCorp Marine Group upheld its responsibility to conserve the environmentfor future generations. Where possible, the Group implemented operationalimprovements to minimise pollution and waste and to conserve natural resources.

Environment Friendly OperationsThe Group encouraged the use of environmentallyfriendly options such as hydro-jet blastingand enclosed blasting chambers wherepossible. In fact, Jurong Shipyard expandedits enclosed-blasting capacity in 2006, allowingthe yard to better control the environmentalimpact of its blasting and painting activities.These blasting chambers improved the yard’sefficiency by decreasing the yard’s reliance ongood weather.

In addition, copper slag recycling continued tobe practised at Jurong Shipyard through its

subsidiary JPL Industries, which had beenoperating a specialised recycling plant to convertthe copper slag from grit blasting into pavementbricks for sale as well as for in-house use.

Also respecting the environment, SembawangShipyard had successfully phased out theusage of all ozone-depleting substances from itsfire-fighting systems in 2005. For its efforts,Sembawang Shipyard was the first shipyard inSouth East Asia to be certified with the ISO14001 Environment Management SystemCertification in 2004. This certification was recentlyrenewed in March 2006 by Det Norske VeritasCertification Ltd.

Green Wave Environmental CareCompetitionOrganised by Sembawang Shipyard together withthe Ministry of Education, the annual Green WaveEnvironmental Care Competition continued toengage and influence young minds to think andact for environmental protection and improvement.Since 2003, students from primary to universitylevels had been encouraged to think proactivelyabout today’s environmental issues.

Extending its reach, Sembawang Shipyard hadbeen encouraging its customers to participate inthe project. During the year, its alliance partnersShell Trading and BP Shipping became joint-sponsors, offering month-long work attachmentsto winners in the post-secondary categories ofthe competition.

Since 2005, the yard had also been reviewing theviability of developing students’ projects and

Share-based Incentive Plans (cont'd)

The Share Option Plan is the incentive scheme for directors and employees of the Company and its subsidiary companies (the“Group”) whereas the Performance Share Plan and Restricted Stock Plan are aimed primarily at key executives 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,such as employees of the Company’s Parent Group and non-executive directors and employees of the Company’s associates,are given an opportunity to participate in the equity of the Company.

Under the rules of the Share Option Plan, participants who ceased to be employed by the Group, Parent Group or AssociatedCompany by reason of ill health, injury or disability, redundancy, retirement at or after the legal retirement age, retirement beforethe legal retirement age, death, etc, or any other event approved by the Committee, may be allowed by the Committee to retaintheir unexercised Options. The Committee may determine the number of Shares comprised in that Option which may beexercised and the period during which such Option shall be exercisable, being a period not later than the expiry of the ExercisePeriod in respect of that Option. Such Option may be exercised at any time notwithstanding that the date of exercise of suchOption falls on a date prior to the first day of the Exercise Period in respect of such Option.

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-determined targets have been achieved. Awards granted under the Restricted Stock Plan vest only after the satisfactorycompletion of time-based service conditions, or where the award is performance related, after a further period of service beyondthe performance target completion date. No minimum vesting period is prescribed under the Restricted Stock Plan and thelength of the vesting period in respect of each award will be determined on a case-by-case basis.

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 asmotivating participants to contribute to the long-term prosperity of the Group.

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

market price in respect of options granted at the time of grant. Market price is the volume-weighted average price for theshares on the Singapore Exchange for three consecutive trading days, prior to grant date of that Option. For all optionsgranted 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 and 24 months for discounted options.For employee retention purposes, the Group further imposed a vesting condition, in which the options are vested equallyover a four-year period, commencing from the first anniversary of the date of grant.

(iii) In 2006, all options are settled by issuance of new shares.

(iv) The options granted expire after 5 years for non-executive directors, associated companies employees and 10 years forthe employees of Group and Parent Group.

In the 2005 performance share award, the performance criteria were changed and performance levels re-calibrated based onthe new measures, namely Wealth Added and Total Shareholders’ Return. For each performance measure, three distinctperformance levels are set. A minimum of threshold performance must be achieved to trigger an Achievement Factor, whichin turn determines the number of shares to be finally awarded.

Based on the new criteria, performance shares to be delivered for awards granted in 2005 will range between 0% to 150% ofthe original award.

In 2006, performance share awards granted were based on the same type of criteria as those issued in 2005.

Participants are also required to hold a minimum percentage of the shares released to them under the Performance Share Planto maintain a beneficial ownership stake in the Group, for the duration of their employment or tenure with the Group. A maximumcap is set based on a multiple of the individual participant’s Annual Base Salary. Any excess can be sold off, but in the event ofa short fall, they have a two calendar year period to meet the minimum percentage requirement.

During the year, a total of 444,000 (2005: 487,200) performance shares were released by the Committee to the participantsfor the performance period 2003 to 2005 (2005: 2002 to 2004).

The details of performance shares of the Company awarded since commencement of the Performance Plan up to 31 December2006 were as follows:

Since the commencement of the Share Option Plan, no options have been granted to the controlling shareholders of the Companyor their associates. No participant under the Share Option Plan has been granted 5% or more of the total options available.No options have been offered at a discount.

The options granted by the Company do not entitle the holders of the options, by virtue of such holdings, to any right to participatein any share issue of any other company.

SembCorp Marine Performance Share PlanUnder the Performance Share Plan, the awards granted conditional on performance targets are set based on medium-termcorporate objectives at the start of each rolling three-year performance qualifying period. A specific number of performanceshares shall be awarded at the end of the 3-year performance cycle depending on the extent of the achievement of theperformance conditions established at the onset.

In 2005, the Committee, with advice and assistance from an independent compensation consultant, redesigned its approachto the share-based incentive awards, with particular focus on establishing new standards for share-based incentive grants. Theredesigned share-based incentive grants took into account evolving practices at other major public-listed companies, as wellas the Company’s objective of further enhancing linkages between employee performance and long term shareholder valuecreation objectives. The redesign was completed and implemented in 2005.

For awards granted before 2005, recipients who do not achieve at least 80% of the targets set at the end of the performanceperiod will not be granted the performance shares. If the achievement of the targets exceeds 100%, more performance sharesthan the original award could be delivered up to a maximum of 200% of the original award.

SembCorp Marine Restricted Stock PlanIn 2006, as part of the redesigned approach, restricted shares were awarded to managerial employees of the Group, with theobjective to eventually replace share options as a long term incentive for them. The grants under the Share Option Plan to thisgroup of employees were reduced by 50%, and these were replaced by restricted shares of an equivalent fair value, asrecommended by the independent compensation consultant and approved by the Committee.

Under the Restricted Stock Plan, the awards granted conditional on performance targets are set based on corporate objectivesat the start of each rolling two-year performance qualifying period. The performance criteria are set and performance levels forthe 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 threshold performance must be achieved to trigger an AchievementFactor, which in turn determines the number of shares to be finally awarded. Based on the criteria, restricted shares to bedelivered for awards granted in 2006 will range from 0% to 130% of the original award.

A specific number of restricted shares shall be awarded at the end of the two-year performance cycle depending on the extentof the achievement of the performance conditions established at the onset. There is a further vesting of three years after theperformance period, during which one-third of the awarded shares are released each year.

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

A total of 1,222,400 restricted shares of SembCorp Marine Ltd’s were awarded on 2 October 2006 for the performance period2006 to 2007. No SembCorp Marine Ltd's restricted shares were awarded to Directors of the Company, except as disclosedelsewhere in the Report of the Directors.

The total number of SembCorp Marine Ltd’s restricted shares in awards granted conditionally and representing 100% of targetsachieved, but not released as at end 2006, was 1,212,320. Based on the multiplying factor, the actual release of the awardscould range from zero to a maximum of 1,576,016 restricted shares.

The maximum number of performance shares and restricted shares which could be delivered, when aggregated with the numberof new shares issued and issuable in respect of all options granted, is within the 15% limit of the share capital of the Companyon the day preceding the relevant date of the grant.

2.3 Significant accounting estimates and judgementsEstimates, 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 and expenses,and disclosures made. They are assessed on an on-going basis and are based on experience and relevant factors,including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Key sources of estimation uncertaintyThe 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 within the nextfinancial year are discussed below.

Impairment of goodwillThe Group determines whether goodwill is impaired at least on an annual basis. This requires an estimation of the valuein use of the cash-generating units to which the goodwill is allocated. Estimating the value in use requires the Group tomake an estimate of the expected future cash flows from the cash-generating unit and also to choose a suitable discountrate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows. The carrying amount of the Group's goodwill at 31 December2006 was $13,467,000 (2005: $3,352,000). More details are given in Note 18a.

Depreciation of fixed assetsFixed assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Management estimates the usefullives of these fixed assets to be within 1 to 60 years. The carrying amount of the Group's fixed assets at 31 December2006 was $679,024,000 (2005: $579,584,000). Changes in the expected level of usage and technological developmentscould impact the economic useful lives and the residual values of these assets, therefore future depreciation charges couldbe revised.

Income taxThe Group has exposure to income taxes in various jurisdictions. Significant judgement is involved in determining theGroup-wide provision for income taxes. There are certain transactions and computations for which the ultimate taxdetermination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. The Group recognises liabilities for expected tax issuesbased on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different fromthe amounts that were initially recognised, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in theperiod in which such determination is made. The carrying amount of the Group's provision for taxation at 31 December2006 was $53,898,000 (2005: $25,832,000). The carrying amounts of the Group's deferred tax assets and liabilities at31 December 2006 were $Nil (2005: $872,000) and $109,535,000 (2005: $69,567,000) respectively.

2.4 Foreign currencyFunctional and presentation currencyItems included in the financial statements of each company in the Group are measured using the currency of the primaryeconomic environment in which the company operates ("the functional currency"). The consolidated financial statementsare presented in Singapore Dollars, which is the Company's functional and presentation currency.

Foreign currency transactions and balancesTransactions in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at foreign exchange rates ruling at the datesof the transactions. At each balance sheet date:

• Foreign currency monetary items are translated into the functional currency using foreign exchange rate ruling at thatdate.

• 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 functional currencyat 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 the profitand loss account except for exchange differences arising from monetary items that form part of the Group's net investment

in a foreign subsidiary companies, which are recognised in the Company's profit and loss account and reclassified toforeign currency translation reserve in the consolidated financial statements. Such exchange differences are released tothe profit and loss account upon disposal of the investment as part of the gain or loss on disposal.

Foreign operationsThe results and financial positions of foreign operations (none of which has the currency of hyperinflationary economy)that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into presentation currency as follows:

• assets and liabilities are translated at foreign exchange rate ruling at the date of 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 profit and loss accountas part of the gain or loss on sale.

2.5 Subsidiary companiesA subsidiary company is an entity over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies soas to obtain benefits from its activities. The Group generally has such power when it, directly or indirectly, holds morethan 50% of the issued share capital, or controls more than half of the voting power, or controls the composition of theboard of directors.

In the Company's separate financial statements, investments in subsidiary companies are accounted for at cost lessimpairment losses.

2.6 Principles of consolidationThe accounting year of the Company and all its subsidiary companies ends on 31 December and the consolidated financialstatements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and all its subsidiary companies after the elimination ofall material intercompany transactions and balances. Consistent accounting policies are applied for like transactions andevents in similar circumstances.

The purchase method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiary companies by the Group. Thecost of an acquisition is measured as the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurredor assumed at the date of exchange, plus costs directly attributable to the acquisition.

Minority interests represent the portion of profit or loss and net assets in subsidiary companies not held by the Group.They are presented in the consolidated balance sheet within equity, separately from the parent shareholders' equity, andare separately disclosed in the consolidated profit and loss account. Any losses applicable to the minority interest inexcess of the minority interest are allocated against the interests of the parent.

The results of subsidiary companies acquired or disposed of during the year are included in or excluded from the Groupresults from the respective dates of acquisition or disposal, as applicable.

2.7 Associated companies and joint venturesAn associated company is defined as a company, not being a subsidiary company, in which the Group has a long terminterest of not less than 20% nor more than 50% of the equity and in whose financial and operating policy decisions theGroup exercises significant influence.

A joint venture, not being a subsidiary or associated company, is one in which the Group has a long term interest andcontractual arrangement whereby parties in the joint venture undertake an economic activity whose operational and financialaffairs are subject to the joint control of the Group and the contractual parties.

The Group's share of the results of associated companies and joint ventures that are jointly controlled entities are includedin the consolidated profit and loss account under the equity method. The Group's share of post-acquisition reserves of

31 December 2006

157

SembCo rp Ma r i ne L t d and Subs i d i a r y Compan i es

associated companies and joint ventures that are jointly controlled entities are included in the investments in associatedcompanies and joint ventures, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheet. Where the audited financial statements arenot available, the share of results is arrived at from unaudited management financial statements made up mainly to theend of the accounting year to 31 December. Goodwill arising on acquisition which represents the excess of the cost ofacquisition over the fair value of the Group's share of the identifiable net assets acquired is accounted on the basis outlinedin Note 2.8 below.

The associated companies and joint ventures are equity accounted for from the date the Group obtains significant influenceor joint control until the date the Group ceases to have significant influence or joint control over the associated companyand joint venture respectively.

When the Group's share of losses exceeds the carrying amount of the investment, the investment is reported at nil valueand recognition of losses is discontinued except to the extent of the Group's commitments.

For joint ventures that involve jointly controlled operations or assets, the proportionate share in these joint ventures' individualincome, expenses, assets and liabilities are included in financial statements of the Group with items of a similar nature ona line by line basis.

Investments in associated companies and joint ventures are stated in the Company's balance sheet at cost less impairmentlosses.

2.8 Goodwill on consolidationGoodwillGoodwill arising on acquisition represents the excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the Group's share ofthe identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired. Goodwill on acquisitions of subsidiary companies isincluded in intangible assets. Goodwill on acquisition of associated companies and joint ventures is included in investmentsin associated companies and joint ventures.

Goodwill is stated at cost less impairment losses.

Negative goodwillNegative 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 profit and loss accountin the period of acquisition.

2.9 Revenue recognitionRevenue from ship and rig repair, building and conversion are recognised on the percentage of completion method, providedthe work is at least 20% completed and the outcome of the contract can be reliably estimated. The percentage of completionis measured by reference to the percentage of costs incurred to-date to the estimated total costs for each contract, withdue consideration made to include only those costs that reflect works performed.

Income on goods sold and other services rendered is recognised on completion of delivery. Charter hire income is takento the profit and loss account on an accrual basis over the charter hire period.

Interest income is recognised as interest accrues (using the effective interest method) unless collectability is in doubt.

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

2.10 Fixed assetsFixed assets are stated at cost or valuation less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. The cost of an assetcomprises its purchase price and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to working condition for its intendeduse. Expenditure for additions, improvements and renewals are capitalised and expenditure for maintenance and repairsare charged to the profit and loss account.

Where fixed assets are revalued, any surplus on revaluation is credited to the asset revaluation reserve. A decrease in netcarrying amount arising on revaluation of fixed assets is charged to the profit and loss account to the extent that it exceedsany surplus held in reserve relating to previous revaluation of the same asset.

2.11 DepreciationDepreciation of an asset begins when it is available for use and is computed on the straight-line method to write off thecost or valuation of fixed assets over their estimated useful lives. Construction-in-progress is not depreciated as theseassets are not available for use. The estimated useful lives of fixed assets are 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 the amount,method and period of depreciation are consistent with previous estimates and the expected pattern of consumption ofthe future economic benefits embodied in the items of fixed assets.

Fully depreciated assets are retained in the financial statements until they are no longer in use and no further charge fordepreciation is made in respect of these assets. Fixed assets are derecognised upon disposal or when no future economicbenefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset is included in theprofit and loss account in the year the asset is derecognised.

2.12 Financial assetsFinancial assets are classified as either financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments, or available-for-sale financial assets, as appropriate. Financial assets are recognised on the balancesheet when, and only when, 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 not atfair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs. The Group determines the classification of its financialassets after initial recognition and, where allowed and appropriate, re-evaluates this designation at each financial year-end.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or lossFinancial assets are included in the category 'financial assets at fair value through profit or loss' if they are acquired forthe purpose of selling in the near term. Derivative financial instruments are also classified as 'financial assets at fair valuethrough profit or loss' unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments. Gains or losses on 'financial assetsat fair value through profit or loss' are recognised in the profit and loss account.

Held-to-maturity investmentsNon-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity are classified as held-to-maturitywhen the Group has the positive intention and ability to hold the assets to maturity. Such assets are subsequently measuredat amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognised in the profit and loss account whensuch assets are derecognised or impaired, as well as through the amortisation process.

Loans and receivablesNon-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market are classifiedas loans and receivables. Such assets are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less impairmentlosses. Gains and losses are recognised in profit and loss account when the loans and receivables are derecognised orimpaired, as well as through the amortisation process.

31 December 2006

159

SembCo rp Ma r i ne L t d and Subs i d i a r y Compan i es

The Group classifies the following financial assets as loans and receivables:

• bank and cash balances and fixed deposits• trade and other debtors, including loans and amounts due from subsidiary, associated and related companies, joint

ventures, and related parties

Available for sale financial assetsAvailable for sale financial assets are those non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available-for-sale or arenot classified in any of the three preceding categories. After initial recognition, available for sale financial assets aremeasured at fair value with gains or losses being recognised in the available for sale reserve until the investment isderecognised or until the investment is determined to be impaired at which time the cumulative gain or loss previouslyreported in equity is included in the profit and loss account.

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 investments wherethere 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 value cannotbe reliably measured are measured at cost less impairment losses.

2.13 Cash and cash equivalentsCash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, bank balances and fixed deposits which are subject to an insignificantrisk of changes in value. These also include bank overdrafts that form an integral part of the Group's cash management.

2.14 Impairment of financial assetsThe Group assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or groupof financial assets is impaired.

Assets carried at amortised costIf there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on financial assets carried at amortised cost has been incurred, theamount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimatedfuture cash flows discounted at the financial asset's original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset isreduced through the use of an allowance account. The amount of the loss is recognised in the profit and loss account.

If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively toan event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed. Anysubsequent reversal of an impairment loss is recognised in the profit and loss account, to the extent that the carrying valueof the asset does not exceed its amortised cost at the reversal date.

Assets carried at costIf 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 estimated futurecash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset. Such impairment losses are notreversed in subsequent periods.

Available-for-sale financial assetsIf an available-for-sale financial asset is impaired, an amount comprising the difference between its cost (net of any principalpayment and amortisation) and its current fair value, less any impairment loss previously recognised in the profit and lossaccount, is transferred from equity to the profit and loss account. Reversals of impairment loss in respect of equityinstruments are not recognised in the profit and loss account. Reversals of impairment losses on debt instruments arereversed through the profit and loss account, if the increase in fair value of the instrument can be objectively related toan event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised in the profit and loss account.

2.15 Derecognition of financial assetsA 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 that hasbeen recognised directly in equity is recognised in the profit and loss account.

2.16 Stocks and work-in-progressStocks consist mainly of steel and other materials used for ship and rig repair, building and conversion and are stated atthe lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is principally determined on the weighted average method. Allowance ismade for all deteriorated, obsolete and slow-moving items.

Work-in-progress comprises mainly uncompleted ship and rig repair, building and conversion jobs. It is stated at the lowerof cost and net realisable value. Cost includes materials, direct labour, sub-contractors' costs and appropriate allocationof fixed and variable production overheads. Allowance is made for anticipated losses, if any, on work-in-progress whenthe possibility of loss is ascertained.

2.17 Financial liabilitiesFinancial liabilities include trade creditors on normal trade terms, other creditors, amount due from subsidiary, associatedand 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 the contractualprovisions of the financial instrument. Financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value of consideration received lessdirectly attributable transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Gains and losses are recognised in the profit and loss account when the liabilities are derecognised as well as throughthe amortisation process. The liabilities are derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelledor expired.

2.18 Borrowing costsBorrowing costs are generally expensed as incurred. Borrowing costs are capitalised if they are directly attributable tothe acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset. Capitalisation of borrowing costs commences when theactivities to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale are in progress and the expenditures and borrowing costs arebeing incurred. Borrowing costs are capitalised until the assets are ready for their intended use. If the resulting carryingamount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recorded.

2.19 LeasesFinance lease and hire purchase assetsFinance leases are those leasing agreements including hire purchases that give rights approximating to ownership. Assetsfinanced under such leases are treated as if they had been purchased outright and are capitalised at the inception of thelease at the fair 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 as in Note2.11 above. Lease payments are treated as consisting of capital and interest elements and the interest is amortised onthe reducing balance basis over each lease term and charged to the profit and loss account.

Operating leaseWhere the Group has the use of assets under operating leases, payments made under the leases are recognised in theprofit and loss account on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives received are recognised inthe profit and loss account as an integral part of the total lease payments made.

2.20 Employee benefitsDefined contribution planThe Group participate in the national pension schemes as defined by the laws of the countries in which it has operations. In particular, the Singapore companies in the Group make contributions to the Central Provident Fund ("CPF") in Singapore,

31 December 2006

161

SembCo rp Ma r i ne L t d and Subs i d i a r y Compan i es

a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions to national pension schemes are recognised as compensationexpense in the period in which the related services are performed.

Employee leave entitlementEmployee 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.

Employee stock optionThe 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 entitled to theoptions (the "vesting date"). The fair value of options granted is recognised as an employee expense with a correspondingincrease in equity using the Binomial Option-Pricing model. At each balance sheet date, the Group revises its estimatesof the number of options that are expected to become exercisable. It recognises the impact of the revision of originalestimates in employee expense and in a corresponding adjustment to equity over the remaining vesting period.

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

Retirement gratuityRetirement 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 joined onor before 31 December 1988, based on an agreement with the Union.

The Group's net obligation in respect of retirement benefit is the amount of future benefits that employees had earned inreturn for their service in the current and prior periods. The obligation is calculated using the projected salary increaseand is discounted to its present value and the fair value of any related assets is deducted.

Performance share planFor performance share plan granted prior to 1 January 2005, an initial estimate is made for the cost of compensationunder the Group's performance share plan based on the number of shares expected to be awarded at the end of theperformance period, valued at market price at the date of the grant of the award. The cost is charged to the profit andloss account on a basis that fairly reflects the manner in which the benefits will accrue to the employee under the planover the service period to which the performance criteria relate.

At each reporting date, the compensation cost is re-measured based on the latest estimate of the number of shares thatwill be awarded considering the performance criteria and the market price of the shares at the reporting date. Any increaseor decrease in compensation cost over the previous estimate is recorded in the profit and loss account for that reportingperiod.

The final measure of compensation cost is based on the number of shares ultimately awarded and the market price atthe date the performance criteria are met.

For performance share plan granted after 1 January 2005, the fair value of equity related compensation is measured usingthe Monte Carlo Simulation method. The method involves projecting future outcomes using on statistical distributions ofkey random variables including share price and volatility of returns.

In estimating the fair value of the compensation cost, market based performance conditions shall be taken in account.Therefore, for performance share grants with market based performance conditions, the compensation cost shall becharged to the profit and loss account 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 performance periodrelates, irrespective of whether this performance condition is satisfied.

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

2.23 Income taxesCurrent taxCurrent tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recoveredfrom or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enactedor substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred taxDeferred taxation is provided, using the liability method, on all temporary differences at the balance sheet date betweenthe tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. Deferred tax assets andliabilities are measured using the tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years on which those temporarydifferences are expected to be recovered or settled based on the tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balancesheet date.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiarycompanies, associated companies and joint ventures, except where the timing of reversal of the temporary difference canbe controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax assets and unusedtax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporarydifferences, carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses can be utilised.

Deferred tax are charged or credited directly to equity if the tax relates to items that are credited or charged, in the sameor different period, directly to equity.

2.24 Derivative financial instrumentsDerivative 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 classified as financial assets or liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and are initiallyrecognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured atfair value at each balance sheet date.

Any gains or losses arising from changes in fair value on derivative financial instruments are taken to the profit and lossaccount for the year.

2.25 Segment ReportingA segment is a distinguishable component of the Group that is engaged either in providing products or services (businesssegment), or in providing products or services within a particular economic environment (geographical segment), whichis subject to risks and rewards that are different from those of other segments.

3. TurnoverTurnover represents sales from the various activities described in Note 1 and Note 40, including the revenue recognisedon contracts relating to the ship and rig repair, building and conversion which are at least 20% completed.

Restricted stock planSimilar to Performance Share Plan, the fair value of equity related compensation is measured using the Monte CarloSimulation method as at date of grant. The method involves projecting future outcomes using statistical distributions ofkey random variables including the share price and the volatility of returns. This model takes into the account the probabilityof achieving the performance conditions in the future.

For performance-based restricted share grants, the fair value of the compensation cost is measured at grant date andspread over the service period to which the performance criteria relate and the period during which the employees becomeunconditionally entitled to the shares. The compensation cost is charged to the profit and loss account with a correspondingincrease in equity on a basis that fairly reflects the manner in which the benefits will accrue irrespective of whether thisperformance condition is satisfied.

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 number of sharesultimately given. It recognises the impact of the revision of original estimates in employee expense and a correspondingadjustment to equity over the remaining vesting period.

2.21 ProvisionsA provision is recognised when there is a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event and it isprobable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliableestimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjustedto reflect the current best estimate.

2.22 Impairment of non-financial assetsThe 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 of theasset'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-generatingunit 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 profit and loss account or treated as a revaluationdecrease for assets carried at revalued amount to the extent that the impairment loss does not exceed the amount heldin the asset revaluation reserve for that same asset.

An assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairmentlosses recognised for an asset may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverableamount is estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimatesused to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset's carryingamount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, ifno impairment loss had been recognised. Reversal of an impairment loss is recognised in the profit and loss accountunless the asset is carried at revalued amount, in which case the reversal in excess of impairment loss previously recognisedthrough the profit and loss account is treated as a revaluation increase. After such a reversal, the depreciation charge isadjusted in future periods to allocate the asset's revised carrying amount, less any residual value, on a systematic basisover its remaining useful life.

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

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

Group and Company2006 2005$’000 $’000

Docks and quays 5,997 6,245

The re-valued net book value of the docks and quays is $10,134,000 (2005: $10,554,000).

(b) As at balance sheet date, the net book value of fixed assets under “Others” acquired under hire purchase agreementsamounted to $837,000 (2005: $565,000) for the Group.

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

On 30 January 2006, in accordance with the Companies (Amendment) Act 2005, the concept of “par value” and “authorisedcapital” was abolished and on that date, the shares of the Company ceased to have a par value and the amount standingin the share premium reserve became part of the Company’s share capital.

The holders of ordinary shares are entitled to receive dividends as and when declared by the Company. All ordinary sharescarry one vote per share without restriction. During the year, other than the issue of new shares upon the exercise of shareoptions under the SembCorp Marine Share Option Plan (the “Plan”) there was no other issue of new shares.

(a) Share Option PlanShare options were granted in 2006 (the “2006 Options”) and in 2005 (the “2005 Options”) pursuant to the Plan in respectof 9,875,075 (2005: 15,557,000) unissued ordinary shares to 1,291 (2005: 1,174) full time executives of the Group, 10(2005: 9) Directors of the Company and 13 (2005: 16) executives of the immediate holding company, SembCorp IndustriesLtd, who are not substantial shareholders of the Company. In respect of options granted to executives of the immediateholding company, a total of 87,000 (2005: 140,000) options were granted to executives during the financial year, makingit a total of 1,780,000 (2005: 1,693,000) options granted to those executives from the commencement of the Plan tothe end of the financial year.

The fair values of options of the Company granted at the date of the grant during the year are estimated using the BinomialOption-Pricing model as follows:

2006 Options1 Oct 2007 to 1 Oct 2011 560,000 $3.33 $0.611 Oct 2007 to 1 Oct 2016 9,315,075 $3.33 $0.61

Option period(both dates inclusive)

The fair value of share options (including both equity and cash-settled options) as at the date of grant, is estimated byan external valuer using the Binomial Option-Pricing model, taking into account the terms and conditions upon whichthe options were granted. The inputs to the model used for the 2006 Options and 2005 Options are shown below.

Date of grant 2.10.2006 11.8.2005Dividend yield (%) 2.8 2.6Expected volatility (%) 25.6 – 28.5 25.5 - 30.4Historical volatility (%) 25.6 – 28.5 25.5 - 30.4Risk-free interest rate (%) 1.5 – 4.4 2.0 - 2.4Expected life of option (years) 1.5 – 4.5 1.5 - 4.5Weighted average share price ($) 3.40 2.90

The expected life of the options is based on historical data and is not necessarily indicative of exercise patterns that mayoccur. The expected volatility reflects the assumption that the historical volatility is indicative of future trends, which mayalso not necessarily be the actual outcome. No other features of the option grant were incorporated into the measurementof fair value.

During the year, the Group has charged $4,857,000 (2005: $1,605,000) to the profit and loss account based on fair valueof share options at grant date. The details of the options granted under the Option Plans on unissued shares of theCompany are as follows:

(a) Share Option Plan (cont’d)SembCorp Marine Ltd’s options exercised in 2006 resulted in 13,551,200 (2005: 22,749,985) ordinary shares beingissued at a weighted average price of $1.04 (2005: $0.84). SembCorp Marine Ltd’s options were exercised on aregular basis throughout the year. The weighted average share price during the year was $3.12 (2005: $2.51).

(b) Performance Share PlanUnder the Performance Share Plan, the awards granted conditional on performance targets are set based on medium-term corporate objectives at the start of each rolling three-year performance qualifying period. A specific number ofperformance shares shall be awarded at the end of the three-year performance cycle depending on the extent of theachievement of the performance conditions established at the onset.

In 2005, the Executive Resource and Compensation Committee (“the Committee”), with advice and assistance froman independent compensation consultant, redesigned its approach to the share-based incentive awards, with particularfocus on establishing new standards for share-based incentive grants. The redesigned share-based incentive grantstook into account evolving practices at other major public-listed companies, as well as the Company’s objective offurther enhancing linkages between employee performance and long-term shareholder value creation objectives. Theredesign was completed and implemented in 2005.

For awards granted before 2005, participants who do not achieve at least 80% of the targets set at the end of theperformance period will not be granted the performance shares. If the achievement of the target exceeds 100%, moreperformance shares than the original award could be delivered up to a maximum of 200% of the original award.

In the 2005 performance share award, the performance criteria were changed and performance levels re-calibratedbased on the new measures, namely Wealth Added and Total Shareholders’ Return. For each performance measure,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. Based on the new criteria,performance shares to be delivered for awards granted in 2005 will range between 0% to 150% of the original award.

In 2006, performance share awards granted were based on the same type of criteria as those issued in 2005.

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 tenure withthe 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 shortfall, they have a two calendar year period to meet the minimum percentagerequirement.

PerformanceShares

Participants

* Mr Heng Chiang Gnee was transferred to a related company, SembCorp Environmental Management Pte Ltd on 15 August 2005 and he was not awardedany conditional shares for the period. The conditional awards already granted (for the performance period 2003 to 2005 and 2004 to 2006) to him prior to2005 would be subjected to the achievement of the performance criteria and the number to be awarded to determined accordingly when the performancecriteria are met for the completed period of service with the Company.

The total number of performance shares in awards granted conditionally and representing 100% of targets achieved, butnot released as at end 2006, was 1,955,000. Based on the multiplying factor, the actual release of the awards couldrange from zero to a maximum of 3,222,500 performance shares.

During the year, a total of 600,000 (2005: 775,000) performance shares in awards were granted conditionally to theparticipants for the performance period 2006 to 2008 (2005: 2005 to 2007).

Fair value of Performance SharesThe fair value of the performance shares are estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation methodology at the measurementdates, which are grant dates for equity-settled awards. The assumptions used under the model and fair values ofperformance shares granted in 2006 and 2005 are as follows:

Date of grant 2 October 2006 11 August 2005Fair value at measurement date $2.20 $3.61

Assumptions under the Monte-Carlo modelShare price $3.38 $2.70Expected volatility:

SembCorp Marine Ltd 23.3% 22.0%Morgan Stanley Capital International (“MSCI”) AC

Asia Pacific excluding Japan Industrials Index 14.2% 14.7%Correlation with MSCI 28.3% 14.1%Risk-free interest rate 2.9% 3.0%Expected dividend 3.7% 3.3%

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

For performance share plan awarded prior to 1 January 2005, an initial estimate is made for the cost of compensationand based on the number of shares expected to be awarded at the end of the performance period, valued at marketprice at the date of the grant of the award.

During the current financial year, the Group has written back $521,000 (2005: charged $2,739,000) to the profit andloss account in respect of performance shares awarded prior to 1 January 2005 based on the market values of theshares at reporting date. The balance of $1,578,000 (2005: $3,324,000) in liabilities as at 31 December 2006 representsthe compensation cost for performance shares granted prior to 2005. The final measure of compensation cost is basedon the number of shares ultimately awarded and the market price at the date the performance criteria are met.

For performance shares awarded from 1 January 2005 onwards, the Group has charged $2,302,000 (2005: $932,000)to the profit and loss account based on fair value of performance shares at grant date.

(c) Restricted Stock PlanIn 2006, as part of the redesigned approach, restricted shares were awarded to managerial employees of the Group,with the objective to eventually replace share options as a long term incentive for them. The grants under Share OptionPlan to this group of employees were reduced by 50%, and these were replaced by restricted shares of an equivalentfair value, as recommended by the independent compensation consultant and approved by the Committee.

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 set andperformance 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 threshold performance mustbe achieved to trigger an Achievement Factor, which in turn determines the number of shares to be finallyawarded. Based on the criteria, restricted shares to be delivered for awards granted in 2006 will range from 0% to130% of the original award.

A specific number of restricted shares shall be awarded at the end of the two-year performance cycle depending onthe extent of the achievement of the performance conditions established at the onset. There is a further vesting ofthree years after the performance period, during which one-third of the awarded shares are released each year.

Senior management participants are also required to hold a minimum percentage of the shares released to them underthe Restricted Stock Plan to maintain a beneficial ownership stake in the Group, for the duration of their employmentor 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 in the event of a shortfall, they have a two calendar year period to meet the minimumpercentage requirement.

A total of 1,222,400 restricted shares of SembCorp Marine Ltd’s shares were awarded on 2 October 2006 for theperformance period 2006 to 2007. No SembCorp Marine Ltd’s restricted shares were awarded to directors of theCompany, except as disclosed in the Report of the Directors.

The total number of SembCorp Marine Ltd’s restricted shares in awards granted conditionally and representing 100%of targets achieved, but not released as at end 2006, was 1,212,320. Based on the multiplying factor, the actual releaseof the awards could range from zero to a maximum of 1,576,016 restricted shares.

38. Financial risk management objectives and policiesThe main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments are credit risk, foreign currency risk, interest rate risk, liquidityrisk and market risk. The Board of Directors reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks and they aresummarised below:

Credit riskThe Group has no significant concentration of credit risk with any single counterparty and monitors its exposure to creditrisks arising from sales to customers on an on-going basis where credit evaluations are done on customers that requirecredit. The Group only deals with pre-approved counterparties with good credit rating and imposes a cap on the amountto be transacted with any counterparty so as to reduce its concentration of risk.

The carrying amounts of trade and other debtors and cash and cash equivalents represent the Group’s maximum exposureto credit risk.

Foreign currency riskThe Group incurs foreign currency risk on sales and purchases that are denominated in a currency other than the SingaporeDollar, primarily the United States Dollar and the Euro. To minimise exposure on foreign currency risks, the Group usuallysettles such transactions within 30 days terms.

The Group also utilises forward exchange contracts and swaps with maturities of less than twelve months to hedge foreigncurrency denominated financial assets, liabilities and firm commitments. Under this programme, increases or decreasesin the Group’s foreign currency denominated financial assets, liabilities and firm commitments are partially offset by gainsand losses on the hedging instruments. The Group does not use foreign currency forward contracts and swaps for tradingpurpose.

Interest rate riskThe Group’s policy is to maintain an efficient optimal interest cost structure using a mix of fixed and variable rate debts,where working capital is financed mainly by variable rate loans while long term investments are financed mainly by fixedrate loans. To manage this mix in a cost-efficient manner, the Group enters into interest rate swaps, in which the Groupagrees to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed and variable rate interest amounts calculated byreference to an agreed-upon notional principal amount. These swaps are designated to hedge underlying debt obligations.After taking into account the effect of an interest rate swap, the Group’s borrowings are substantially at a fixed rate ofinterest. Surplus funds, if any, are placed with reputable banks and/or investment in bonds.

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

Liquidity riskShort-term funding is obtained from overdraft facilities and bank borrowings.

Market RiskThe Group is exposed to market risk and the risk of impairment in the value of its investments held. The Group managesthe risk of unfavourable changes by cautious review of the investments before investing and continuous monitoring ofthe performance of investments held and assessing market risk relevant to which the investments operate.

39. Fair value of financial instrumentsThe fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged or settled betweenknowledgeable and willing parties in an arm’s length transaction, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.

Financial instruments whose carrying amount approximates fair valueManagement has determined that the carrying amounts of the Group’s and Company’s cash and cash equivalents, debtorsand creditors (including related party balances which are expected to be repaid in accordance with normal credit terms),and short-term borrowings, based on their notional amounts, reasonably approximate their fair values because these aremostly short term in nature or are repriced frequently.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS31 December 2006

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.

CompanyNon-current portion of:- Medium Term Notes 149,795 147,270 149,720 147,678

No disclosure of fair value is made for related party balances (including associated, related and subsidiary companiesand any other related parties) which are in the nature of loans as it is not practicable to determine their fair values withsufficient reliability since these balances have no fixed terms of repayment although these are not expected to be settledwithin 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 and thelong term trade debtors carried at cost. In the opinion of the Directors, the expected cash flows from these unquotedequity investments and long-term trade debtors are believed to be in excess of their carrying amounts.

Methods and assumptions used to determine fair valueThe 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- Investment in quoted equity shares- Medium Term Notes (quoted)

- Hire purchase creditors- Bank borrowings (non-current)

- Foreign currency contracts- Foreign exchange and

interest rate swap contracts

Methods and assumptionsFair value has been determined by reference to published market bid prices atthe balance sheet date without factoring in transaction costs.

Fair value has been determined using discounted estimated cash flows. Whererepayment terms are not fixed, future cash flows are projected based onmanagement’s best estimates. The discount rates used are the current marketincremental lending rates for similar types of lending, borrowing and leasingarrangements.

Fair value of forward currency contracts is calculated by reference to currentforward exchange rates for contracts with similar maturity profiles. The fair valuesof foreign exchange and interest rate swap contracts are determined by referenceto market values for similar instruments.
