Swiber Holdings (S$2.63) - Extends visibility

Swiber has raised S$100m from the domestic bond market. We believe the
funds could be used to finance part of the
equipment for its new deepwater drilling barge. A recent contract worth
a total of US$250m from CUEL Thailand for
offshore installation and engineering work has increased Swiber's
earnings visibility till 2013 and bringing its
order book to about US$760m, compared to only US$176m at end-1Q07. With
plans to expand its fleet to six vessels by
end-08, we believe Swiber could be grooming its 30% Indonesian-based
associate, OBT Holdings to tap into the strong
coal transhipment sector. Maintain Outperform. Our earnings estimates
remained intact and our target price of S$5.05
is still based on 15x CY09 earnings on the back of 59% 3-year CAGR
through to 2010.
