Since dear felicity is a fundamental analyst, it would be good if the technical term 'enterprise value' is used somewhere, and not just debt and market value.
It is highly misleading to just say "Look ... WOW! ... So Cheap!" without fully accounting for cash and debt.
If one looks at the report by CIMB below, it is quite extensive. It is using Sum of Parts valuation some level of discount. To me, it is sufficient, for how it values the company, look at page 55.
Again, I am putting a higher perspective on valuation as Sum of Parts does not look at the intangibles which to me Bumi Armada is quite strong. Again, I feel that as in past experiences, investors are very risk averse over companies with debt. Previously, there was a similar fear over Airasia. Look at where Airasia is today in its balance sheet. Today, Bumi Armada's case is slightly more severe than Airasia, but it has many options where it can solve its short term gearing and liquidity issue.
I personally do not like Sapura because to me the sincerity is not there, his salary (RM70 million a year) and the support that they get from some of the local funds. I tend to shy away from companies like this.
yes i heard pnb have talk with that fellow to bring it line with performance mah...!!
If not they/pnb would not want to be taiko to bank roll loh...!!

To justify d CEO crazy 70m fee one wonder if he has sacrificed Saprng's interest by lowing d profit margins of all d contracts won to win those contracts
Short term looks impressive wit winning lots of contracts but later all shareholders suffer with low or no profits
8 FPSO + 44 OSVs = 52 units need Scrubber for IMO 2020 compliance ....................................
Cost = 3M USD per scrubber minimum including installation & commissioning = 52 x 3M = 156 Million USD
= 650 Million RM CAPEX .......................
https://www.hellenicshippingnews.com/imo-2020-impacts-to-the-shipping-industry-an-experts-perspective/ Another alternative to LSFO is to install an exhaust gas cleaning system (EGCS) commonly referred to as a “scrubber” system. These are not cheap with prices being quoted of US$2-5 million but they allow the ship to continue to consume HSFO. With some analysts predicting a $400 per tonne premium for compliant fuels the payback time for some ships is less than 12 months.
The above is a serious gaping hole on cash flow either via Capex before 2020 or via rise in Operating costs by the same amount per year from 2020 onwards if Armada had opted to use expensive MGO instead of installing Scrubber for HSFO usage on their vessel engines.
......
Till the above can be disputed / clarified by someone, Armada is certainly a no no for me...
yes, i am pretty sure all vessels in sea of old design is catered for HSFO....
the price is way cheaper than MGO (refer above 400USD/tonne)...
its difficult to use MGO in ship engines as their viscosity is low...and also solidifies easily at cold climates...
its extremely dangerous to use MGO on engines as they risk of dripping inside the combustion chamber even when it is not burning...risking explosion when engine is started
Please show your marine engineer's license - class 1 certificate of competency, then you can talk about marine internal combustion engines development. ha, ha, talk with facts please.
pls do not copy and paste all these IMO Rules and think that all rules are applicable to all vessels with checking others detail. There are many exe.ptions can be granted by Flag Administration of the marinetimd nation. Talk with facts , please
It is now impossible for the IMO to push the 2020 global 0.5% sulphur limit to a later date without breaking its own rules. From January 2020 it will be illegal to run a ship using fuel containing more than 0.5% sulphur without operating an exhaust cleaning gas system.
Most analysts predict that the difference between HFO and LSFO will be in the region of $200 per ton.
Assuming that scenario to be the case in January 2020, shipowners could in theory recoup the cost of their investment in scrubbers within a few years, depending on the size of ship and its trading pattern.
But these same scrubber economics will not apply to elderly ships with asset values that are not significantly in excess of the cost of installing the onboard refining systems, which could be up to $10m a unit. ..........................................
It is therefore expected that non-operating owners of older tonnage will renew their interest in scrapping as the year progresses, thus providing a boost to the demolition market.
And scrapping will also be on the agendas of ocean carriers as they brace themselves for IMO 2020.
FPSO diesel generator engine (generating electricity) is using MGO/MDO. HFO is used for main engine to propel the FPSO (in the case of self propelled FPSO).
