Singapore has one of the world’s busiest ports. Unsurprisingly, many marine and shipping companies, big and small, have made Singapore their home harbour. Aside from the large offshore and marine conglomerates such Sembcorp Marine and Keppel O&M, there are many smaller marine companies that call Singapore their home harbour. Today, we bring to your attention Kim Heng Limited (SGX: 5G2), an integrated marine and offshore company in Singapore. Listed on the SGX Catalist since 2014, Kim Heng Limited’s key revenue segments are renewable energy support services, vessel chartering, heavy equipment sales and rental and marine offshore support services in FY2020.

We all tend to take our water for granted in Singapore. Most of us do not realise that much of our water supply doesn’t just come from rain (through our catchment reservoirs) and water imports. NEWater plants actually supply up to 40% of our water needs and desalinated water supplies up to 30% of our water needs. This means that water and wastewater management solutions are essential to Singapore’s water security. As ESG investing gains prominence, water and wastewater management solutions is an area that lends itself naturally to sustainability and environmental concerns. While the winding up of Hyflux (confirmed on 21 July 2021, after 3 years of restructuring attempts) may leave a poor impression on the general public and investors, the industry is more than just a single high-profil

In the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, stocks of glove companies (both the supplies and the shares) were in hot demand globally. As healthcare providers rushed to stock up sufficient supplies of personal protective equipment (PPE) including gloves, investors rushed to buy the stocks of glove suppliers. In fact, the top performing stock on SGX for 2020 was Medtecs International, a supplier of medical consumables and PPE, with a stock gain of 2600%. While it has been more than a year since the start of the pandemic, the continued surge of the virus (including the more infectious Delta variant) has ensured that the demand for medical PPE has remained high. It is in this environment that Enviro-Hub (SGX: L23) has repositioned its business focus to recycling of e-waste and supply of medica

In recent years, ESG Investing, also popularly known by many as sustainable investing, has gained increasing traction in the investment world – as both retail and institutional investors become more concerned about the broader social and environmental impacts of the companies they invest in. For those who are not familiar with ESG, its stands for Environmental, Social & Governance. These are the key areas that ESG investors can look for when identifying quality companies to invest in. This is, of course, on top of ensuring that the companies can generate a good investment return. Unlike analysing the financial results of a company, it’s trickier to analyse just how “good” a company is when it comes to its ESG performance. This is why the Singapore Exchange (SGX) partners with

Singapore is internationally recognized as one of the world’s top maritime ports, accorded as the world’s Top Maritime Centre for 8 consecutive years by the Xinhua-Baltic International Shipping Centre Development (ISDC) Index and the world’s Top Leading Maritime Capital Of The World for 4 consecutive years by Menon Economic’s Leading Maritime Capitals Of the World report. With such accolades, Singapore is home to many marine and shipping companies. While most Singaporeans are familiar with Sembcorp Marine and Keppel O&M, Singapore is also host to many smaller players in the marine industry that all play a part in our bustling port. One of these marine companies is Marco Polo Marine (SGX: 5LY) which has been listed on the SGX Mainboard since 2007. Macro Polo Marine operates regi
