As Per Web Details

History:

Subject project was originally conceived and implemented by SKIL Infrastructure Limited (SKIL).In September 2007, Punj Lloyd Limited (PLL) acquired a substantial stake in the Company, and now, both SKIL and PLL are co-promoters of the company.

 

The shipyard is being constructed on 84.99 hectares (equivalent to 210 acres or 849,000 square meters) of land, adjoining 800 meters of dedicated waterfront. The company has access to additional land in a nearby parcel of approximately 572 acres. Since additional land is acquiring formal approval for being converted into a Special Economic Zone, subject will have the added advantage of being able to carry out some of its activities through a highly tax-efficient SEZ unit.

                                                                                                                 

A considerable part of the development activity has already been carried out. Infrastructure developed so far includes two large wet docks(wet basins) with a length of 680 meters each and widths of 65 meters and 60 meters. These wet basins are being converted into dry docks which will be used for construction and repair of ships and will be the largest in India and amongst the largest in the world.

 

The contract for the first of these dry docks was awarded in April 2007 to AFCONS Infrastructure Limited, one of India’s leading companies involved in executing large and complex civil engineering projects at home and abroad, with emphasis on jetties, docks, harbours, roads, bridges and special foundations. AFCONS is part of the Shapoorji Pallonji construction conglomerate The first dry dock is scheduled for completion in Q3 2008.

 

Various sophisticated equipment is already in place such as IHI cranes, sky masters, gantry cranes, gas cutting automated self-propelled gas cutting equipment and hydraulic material handling equipment along with infrastructure utilities such as oxygen generation plant, pollution control facilities, LPG system and fire fighting systems.

 

The Company, then a wholly owned subsidiary of SKIL, was incorporated as Pipavav Ship Dismantling and Engineering Limited on October 17, 1997 under the Companies Act. In April 2005, IL and FS, one of the leading infrastructure finance companies in India, became a shareholder, and the name of the Company was changed to Pipavav Shipyard Limited. Government of India controlled banking institutions EXIM Bank and IDBI also took stakes in the company as well as private fund UTI.

 

In 2007, in addition to Punj Lloyd’s investment in the Company, several other major financial players became shareholders in the form of foreign equity investors

 

Company Profile:

Business Strategy

Subject long-term strategy is to have four legs to stand on, each capable of supporting the Shipyard on its own. The Company will engage in activities in the following business sectors:

 

·         Commercial shipbuilding

·         Ship repair

·         Offshore fabrication and servicing

·         Naval shipbuilding and repair

                                                                                                         

This strategy will enable company to mitigate the risks of relying on one market area only and also allow for profitable business opportunities in each sector to be grasped as market conditions dictate.

 

The company will have in-built the flexibility to switch from one product type to another, without compromising on the efficiency or cost-effectiveness of the yard operations.

 

Accordingly, there will be capability to build and repair (drydock and afloat) most kinds of commercial dry and liquid cargo ships such as:

 

·         Very Large Crude Carriers ("VLCC")

·         Capesize bulkcarriers

·         Suezmax tankers

·         Aframax tankers

·         Panamax bulkcarrier and tankers

·         Handymax and handysize bulkcarriers and tankers

·         Containerships

·         Chemical Tankers

·         Platform Supply Vessels and anchor handling tugs

·         Dredgers

 

Amongst defence ships, the company will be in a position to offer infrastructure to undertake the construction, drydocking, refit and servicing of naval vessels including but not limited to :

 

·         Aircraft Carriers

·         Frigates

·         Destroyers

·         Corvettes

·         Fleet Tankers

·         Advanced Offshore Patrol Vessels (OPVs)

·         Training ships

 

Given the increasing focus on offshore exploration for oil and gas around the coast of India, and elsewhere, the Shipyard has been designed to exploit the opportunities that this sector has to offer. Their capabilities in this regard will include fabrication / construction of offshore platforms, SBM’s, rigs, jackets, vessels, etc. for upstream oil and gas sector / companies both in India and abroad. The company has teamed up with one of India’s leading engineering companies involved in the offshore sector, Limited. This will help the Company fast-track into this growing sector since Punj Lloyd is pre-qualified with the major exploration and development companies operating in Indian waters. Punj Lloyd has taken a substantial shareholding in the company.

 

At its site at Pipavav, subject is installing some of the most modern shipbuilding equipment that can be purchased – inter-alia, from leading companies in Norway, Japan, Italy and Norway. , The site will have two Goliath cranes having lifting capacity of 600 tonnes capacity each, the largest in India.

 

This modern plant, when combined with the company’s highly experienced management team, comprising Indians and multi-national expatriates and the competitively priced skilled labour available in India, will be a great benefit to the company in its efforts to penetrate the Company’s targeted business sectors and provide on-time and quality delivery.

 

The company has teamed up with two world-leading technical associates:


SembCorp Marine, Singapore

SembCorp Marine is a leading global marine engineering and shipyard group, specialising in a full spectrum of integrated solutions in ship repair, shipbuilding, ship conversion, rig building, topsides fabrication and offshore engineering. SembCorp been advising the company on yard layout and manufacturing processes in relation to the Company’s start-up commercial shipbuilding operations.


KOMAC, Korea

Korea Maritime Consultants Company, Limited. (KOMAC) was established in 1969 as Korea’s first and only private organization of naval architects and marine engineers. KOMAC has designed more than 1,200 different classes and type of ships. The company has a technical services agreement with KOMAC to provide designs as well as assist with procurement of equipment and materials for the ships being built, thus minimizing potential problems areas during the start-up phase

Pipavav Shipyard Limited plans Rs. 29000.000 millions shipyard project, Proposes to enter Capital markets, Files DRHP with SEBI


MUMBAI, 18th January 2008:
Pipavav Shipyard Limited is currently constructing a shipyard complex at Pipavav, located on the west coast of India adjacent to the maritime sea lane between the Persian Gulf and Asia. The Shipyard will have an estimated investment of Rs 28880.000 millions. Upon completion of construction, the Pipavav Shipyard will be capable of ship construction and repairs for a range of vessels of different sizes and types, as well as the fabrication and construction of offshore platforms, rigs, jackets and vessels, for use by oil and gas companies in their exploration and production activities.

The Company proposes to part finance this project cost with the help of Rs 12486.700 millions (including premium) raised through equity already issued and term loans from banks and financial institutions to the tune of Rs 93520.000 millions. To meet the remaining funding requirement, Pipavav Shipyard Limited proposes to enter the capital markets with a public issue of 86850000 Equity Shares of Rs 10 each through 100% book building process. It has already filed DRHP with SEBI for the purpose. JM Financial Consultants Private Limited, Citigroup Global Markets India Private Limited and Enam Securities Private Limited are the Book Running Lead Managers (BRLMs) for the Issue. SBI Capital Markets Limited, Kotak Mahindra Capital Company Limited and Motilal Oswal Investment Advisors Private Limited are the Co-BRLMs for the Issue. IL & FS Investsmart Securities Limited is Advisor to the proposed offerings.

The Company is constructing the Pipavav Shipyard based upon the principle of concurrent shipbuilding, which involves the production of vessels while simultaneously completing construction of the shipyard. The construction of the Pipavav Shipyard is being conducted on an owner-managed basis. It has agreements with three international shipowners for the construction of 26 Panamax bulk carriers of 74,500 DWT each for delivery from 2009 to May 2012 at an aggregate contract value of US$ 1,063.12 million (Rs. 42,992 million).

The Pipavav Shipyard was originally promoted by SKIL Infrastructure Limited and Grevek Investments. Punj Lloyd has now joined as a co-promoter through its acquisition of 129361538 Equity Shares of the Company. As a co-promoter, Punj Lloyd has agreed to conduct all of its offshore business, excluding the construction and fabrication of subsea pipelines, in India through Pipavav Shipyard and is expected to provide the Company with access to opportunities in the Offshore Business industry, which includes business opportunities in the fabrication and construction of offshore platforms, rigs, jackets and vessels for the oil and gas industry. The construction of the Pipavav Shipyard is expected to be completed in October 2008.

MUMBAI: Punj Lloyd and SKIL Infrastructure, co-promoters of Pipavav Shipyard (PSL), are raising $125 million private equity through pre-IPO deals.

 

After New York Life, 2i Capital and Trikona Capital infused $75 million — $25 million each — PSL has now roped in Citadel, the $17-billion US fund, and is in final talks with AIG for $25 million each, to take the total PE investments to $125 million.

 

PSL is lining up Rs 8000.000 millions (around $200 million) initial public offering (IPO) in the next 2-3 months. It will sell around 10% stake in the IPO. Post IPO, its paid-capital is expected to be around Rs 5000.000 millions. IDBI, IL&FS and Exim will hold around 12%.

 

The shipyard, currently being built at Pipavav, on the Gujarat coast, has attracted many financial investors. Sources said the five US-based investors will cumulatively hold around 40% in PSL, which claims to build a 600-metre-long dry dock, the third-largest in the world after Hyundai’s yard in South Korea and Dubai Drydocks. Dry dock in shipping parlance means a yard for repairs.

 

Sources also said that PSL has appointed a battery of coordinators and managers for the maiden issue, including Citigroup, JM Financial, Enam, BLRM, SBI Caps and Motilal Oswal. The draft red-herring prospectus (DRHS) is expected to be filed with the market regulator Sebi in a few days.

 

Citadel has invested $25 million at Rs 45 per share having Rs 10 face value, while it has signed for options worth another $50 million for Rs 75 per share at a later stage. The domestic engineering major Punj Lloyd recently informed the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) that it has now entered into a shareholders’ agreement with PSL and acquired 129.400 millions shares at Rs 27, aggregating to Rs 3492.800 millions.

 

It constitutes 28.8% of the present paid-up share capital of PSL and 25.6% of the diluted paid-up capital. The shipyard has already built an order book position of $1.1 billion, and has already received advances of $100 million.

 

Afcons India, which was awarded a Rs 3300.000 millions contract to build a dry dock in Pipavav, is progressing ahead of schedule, said sources. PSL is also developing over 700 acres in Pipavav for ship-building activities, and will spend around Rs 10000.000 millions over the next two years to build additional infrastructure. The yard will build 12 large ships and other offshore assets simultaneously.

 

The proposed shipyard, once completed, will be the largest in India and the fifth-largest in the world. Designed to handle ships of all sizes, the yard has already employed around 400 people, and is in the process of appointing another 300. One of the investors, Trinity, has received the right of first refusal to real estate opportunities in a proposed 150-acre township development in the yard’s vicinity. The township will provide housing, recreational facilities, schools, hospitals and commercial establishment.

 

Pipavav may file for IPO; Punj Lloyd sees Green

Money Control 14th Sept 2007

Punj Lloyd may be looking at significant value unlocking via Pipavav Shipyard. According to reports, Pipavav Shipyard is likely to enter the capital market soon. And Punj Lloyd had only recently bought 25% stake in Pipavav Shipyard in August.

 

Punj Lloyd had bought the stake for around Rs 4000.000 millions valuing the company at around Rs 1600.0000 millions. Sources say that Papavav Shipyard is likely to file for an IPO in a weeks time. They have appointed merchant bankers towards this issue.

 

Pipavav Shipyard is likely to raise around Rs 8000.000 millions from this IPO, but whether this will be a frsh issue or from dilution of promoters stake is not known. But what is certain is that this will be great value unlocking for Punj Lloyd. Watch this space for more.
