I started serious Investing Journey in Jan 2000 to create wealth through long-term investing and short-term trading; but as from April 2013 my Journey in Investing has changed to create Retirement Income for Life till 85 years old in 2041 for two persons over market cycles of Bull and Bear.

Since 2017 after retiring from full-time job as employee; I am moving towards Investing Nirvana - Freehold Investment Income for Life investing strategy where 100% of investment income from portfolio investment is cashed out to support household expenses i.e. not a single cent of re-investing!

It is 57% (2017 to Aug 2022) to the Land of Investing Nirvana - Freehold Income for Life!

Keppel secures repeat jackup rig order from Jasper at US$180 million

Singapore, 3 April, 2011 - Jasper Investments Limited (Jasper) has exercised its option with Keppel FELS Limited (Keppel FELS) to build a second KFELS B Class jackup rig at US$180 million for delivery in 1H2013.

The single-rig option was given to Jasper when the customer ordered its first jackup from Keppel FELS in December 2010.

Mr Wong Kok Seng, Managing Director of Keppel FELS, said, “Including this latest contract from Jasper, we have secured 17 jackup rigs since November last year. Of these, 14 are proprietary Keppel designs. These include 10 KFELS B and Super B Class rigs.

“We are pleased that Jasper has reaffirmed its confidence in our proprietary technology and execution expertise by exercising the option for a second KFELS B Class jackup rig. We look forward to deliver both its world class rigs safely, on time and within budget.”

Similar to its first jackup rig, Jasper’s latest unit will be able to operate in water depths of 400 feet, drill 30,000 feet deep and accommodate 150 men.

Mr Geoffrey Yeoh, Executive Director of Jasper, said, “With rapidly increasing demand in the market for safer and more capable rigs, this is the opportune time to expand our fleet and increase our solutions for the offshore industry. We are pleased to be able to build another rig to the highly-rated KFELS B Class design with Keppel FELS.

“Teaming up with the world’s leading rig designer and builder enables us to offer reliable, safe and high quality products to meet the most stringent requirements of the market.

Building our first KFELS B Class rigs at Keppel FELS is an important step for Jasper in growing our presence in the offshore drilling market.”

The above contract is not expected to have material impact on the net tangible assets or earnings per share of Keppel Corporation Limited for the current financial year
