Robust FPSO-related activities boost 1H24 revenue

• Beng Kuang Marine’s 1H24 revenue surged 88% y-o-y to S$59.5m, mainly due to the strong performance by its 51%-owned subsidiary Asian Sealand Offshore & Marine (ASOM), which boosted infrastructure engineering (IE)’s organic revenue by 142% y-o-y in 1H24.
• We expect 2H24E to likely replicate or perform even better than 1H24 due to the robust tailwind in the Floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) sector. However, much higher than expected admin expenses hampered operating margins but we believe this will improve going forward.
