Management Discussion and Analysis

 

The Industry in which the Company operates can be broadly sub-classified in four segments viz. (A) Defence Shipbuilding (B) Offshore Oil and Gas Assets Construction (C) Commercial Shipbuilding and Repairs and (D) Heavy Engineering.

 

 

Defence Shipbuilding

 

Based on available reports, the Indian Navy has huge acquisition plans. It would need more than 100 ships of different types including submarines in the next two decades. The Indian Coast Guard would also need about 160 ships over next seven years. To meet these requirements, there is a need to create technologically advanced additional capacity in the country which opens up tremendous opportunities to private sector shipyards. To fill this large mismatch between the Defence requirements and the available capacities, the Government of India is encouraging the participation of private sector shipyards, directly and through Public Private Partnership.

 

There are high value defence acquisition programmes. The Company will remain in the forefront to participate in such defence programmes, given the size, the scale and modern infrastructure it has created especially to cater to strategic defence requirements.

 

The Company has been declared as the successful bidder for construction of five Offshore Patrol Vessels for Indian Navy with order value of approx. 29000.000 millions.

 

 

Offshore Oil and Gas Assets Construction

 

India has gained a strong foothold in the niche offshore construction segment. Crude oil prices across the world have faced huge fluctuations post global recession and are presently hovering around US$ 70-75 per barrel. As parts of the global economy recover from the recession, growth is expected to be predominately driven by the ever rising demand from Asia’s growing economies, including India and China. Both Indian and Chinese oil companies, seek to establish themselves within the global hydrocarbon market by investing in Explorations and Production of oil and gas (E&P) activities.

 

The Government of India is encouraging a greater number of foreign companies to enter E&P. Despite significant challenges, India will become a key oil and gas player over the coming decade. With India’s present energy growth projected to increase at a rate of 8% CAGR per year till 2032, US$150 billion investment will be required in this sector. In India, two-thirds of sedimentary basins remain unexplored. The Krishna-Godavari basin, in the Bay of Bengal covers more than 24,000 sq km offshore Oil and Gas field in water depths upto 2,000 mtrs.

 

With oil and gas demand expected to significantly outstrip supply in the years ahead, the National Oil Companies, are working to ensure greater domestic production of oil and gas. The increased E&P spending has and will continue to led to increased activity in the offshore oil and gas assets construction, installation and support industry. As India indigenously meets just about 30% of its energy requirements and the balance is imported,

huge infrastructure investment is required for setting up new platforms and for replacement of the ageing assets.

 

As the proven oil and gas reserves are likely to meet the global energy requirements only till 2030, there will be increased E&P activities. This is expected to drive the demand for Offshore oil and gas assets / structures of both, floating and fixed type.

 

 

Commercial Shipbuilding and Repairs

 

The commercial shipbuilding industry is closely linked to the shipping industry. About 90% by volume and 70% by value of international trade is moved by the sea-routes. The demand for new commercial ships has declined over last two years primarily due to the global economic recession resulting in depressed freight market. The global commercial shipbuilding industry has begun a slow recovery. The continuation of the current recovery will depend upon the performance of the freight markets.

 

India is a large peninsula with a coastline of about 7,500 kms. The nation therefore requires a vibrant and strong commercial shipbuilding industry for economic as well as strategic reasons. Despite along coastline, good potential and availability of favourable sites for shipbuilding, the Country’s share in the overall shipbuilding tonnage in the world is a mere 1.12% approximately. India is destined to be a major trading nation of the world and therefore, shipping, ship building and management of ports assume great importance in the scheme of development planning. The tidal shift in shipbuilding activities from Europe to Asia has opened up huge opportunities for Indian shipyards. With factors like availability of low-cost labour, progressive regulatory regime, proximity to key trade centres of the shipping world viz. Dubai and Singapore, large pool of qualified naval engineers, naval architects, high quality standards going in India’s favour, India’s share in the global shipbuilding market is set to change. Indian growth story offers its own opportunities. In 2010, INSA (Indian National Ship-owners Association) has estimated that the domestic ship-owners are likely to invest about US$ 4 billion for acquisition of new vessels over the next 4 years to renew their fleets, which includes publicly announced acquisition plans of Shipping Corporation of India amounting to US$ 2 billion. Some recent initiatives on the policy front are also encouraging. The Ministry of Shipping is considering granting first right of refusal for moving import cargo of state owned companies to Indian built ships. In 2009 the Government had approved a disbursal of about `51000.000 millions as shipbuilding subsidy to domestic shipyards for orders secured till August 15, 2007. The subsidy will be disbursed, in the case of private shipyards, when the shipyard concerned delivers the ships to its customers. The SAI has urged the Government of India to continue the shipbuilding subsidy scheme

beyond August 15, 2007 and the same is currently under consideration.

 

Given the anticipated growth in this sector, the Company will be targeting in the near future the ship/rig repair market as well.

 

Ship Repairs is also a labour intensive industry. We can leverage India’s inherent labour-cost, and trained workforce advantage. Vessel conversion is a high potential segment within overall ship repair market. The Indian ship repair market has tremendous potential valued at `27900.000 millions per year including estimated earnings of 14000.000 millions from repairs of foreign ships visiting India.

 

Ship Repair business has potential of generating consistent and stable revenue over the years.

 

Your Company is working towards being a one-stop solution provider catering to various requirements  of its customers in the marine field.

 

 

Heavy Engineering

 

Heavy Engineering sector offers huge potential and the Company is gearing itself to cater to this segment. The Company is exploring to extend its product range to include high value added products by using its engineering infrastructure. In this connection, the Company is engaged in discussion with some reputed players for strategic tie-ups.

 

 

Outlook

 

Your Company has a strong order book and the management believe that the focus on the defence and offshore segments will help the Company to grow its order book substantially in the near future. Your Company is set to deliver its first ship this year.

 

Award

The Company won Essar-CNBC TV 18 ‘Infrastructure Excellence Award 2010’.

 

 

Certificates

 

The Company, during the year, has received ISO 9001:2008, ISO 14001:2004 and OHSAS 18001:2007 certificates from Det Norske Veritas. This achievement reinforces the Company’s quality drive

 

 

Internal Control Systems and their Adequacy

 

The Company has an adequate system of internal control, supported by a modest Enterprise Resource Planning (‘ERP’) platform for its main business processes, to safeguard and protect from loss, unauthorised use or disposition of its assets. All transactions are properly authorised, recorded and reported to the Management. The Company has independent Internal Auditors appointed to review various critical areas of operations. The Audit Reports are reviewed periodically by the management and the Audit Committee of the Board and appropriate measures are taken to improve the processes.

WEBSITE DETAILS:-

 

Company Overview:

 

Subject project was originally conceived and implemented by SKIL Infrastructure Limited (SKIL).

 

A shipbuilding, ship repair and offshore fabrication complex being constructed by the Company at Pipavav in the State of Gujarat, India. The complex is spread over an aggregate area of 198.92 hectares (approximately 491.53 acres), comprising an SEZ unit spread over 95 hectares (approximately 234.75 acres) and an EOU spread over 103.92 hectares (approximately 256.79 acres). The EOU site adjoins 800 meters of dedicated waterfront. The two sites are connected by a dedicated corridor road of approximately 4.5 km length built by the Company. The current phase of the construction of the Pipavav Shipyard includes:

  • conversion of one of the two existing wet docks into a dry dock measuring 662 meters in length and 65 meters in width, and which is capable of accommodating ships of up to 400,000 DWT and/or multiple combinations of smaller vessels, including vessels catering to offshore activities such as offshore supply vessels (“OSV”), anchor handling tug supply vessels and multi-purpose support vessels;

 

  • the construction of a fabrication and block assembly facility for shipyard operations;

 

  • the establishment of dedicated facilities comprising an offshore yard with load out facilities for our Offshore Business Products; and

 

  • the installation of two Goliath cranes, each having a lifting capacity of up to 600 tonnes, including fit out berths, for building and repairing vessels, including naval vessels and coast guard vessels.

 

The contract for the dry dock 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 substabntially complete, and is scheduled for completion in October 2009.

 

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.

 

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.

 

News

 

Tuesday, June 01, 2010 - Press Information Bureau - Government of India

 

The Prime Minister, Dr. Manmohan Singh, dedicated Pipavav Shipyard to the nation today. Following is the text of the Prime Minister’s inaugural address on the occasion:

 

“I am very pleased to participate in this function which marks the dedication of the Pipavav Shipyard to their nation. Some 50 years ago when I was a student at the University of Cambridge I had a very famous teacher Lord Nicolas Kaldor and he often used to say that there is no technical necessity for any social and economic system to do better than another. It all depends upon the character, the mindset and motivation of people who make all the ruling decisions of a nation’s life. And what I have been told by Shri Nikhil Gandhi, I am truly impressed by the commitment to innovation, farsighted vision, commitment to do things the best possible way, commitment to get away from the chalta hai tradition which has often I think held their country back. So with these words I once again congratulate Shri Nikhil Gandhi and the management of Pipavav Shipyard for a massive contribution to nation building activities of their country.

 

I have often said India is destined to be a major trading nation of the world and if India is destined to be a major trading nation of the world, I think shipping, ship building and management of their ports assume great importance in their scheme of development planning. Therefore I am very happy to learn about the activities of the Pipavav Shipyard and I once again compliment and congratulate all those who are associated with this highly enterprising, innovative shipyard. I understand that the Pipavav Shipyard, which has been set up on the Saurashtra coast of Gujarat, is one of the most modern shipyards in India and I note the commitment of the management to provide their country with the best available shipyards anywhere in the world and I compliment you for this commitment. This shipyard has been developed to have one of the largest dry dock and wet dock facilities in the world, with the state-of-the-art technology which can be used for construction of vessels relating to oil, gas and defence sectors. I hope this modern facility will set new benchmarks in quality and efficiency for their country.

 

India is known to have a long coastline and is known also for its maritime heritage. Even today, around 95% of their foreign trade is sea borne. The development of maritime infrastructure – ports, shipbuilding, and shipping, including inland water transport, is therefore of critical importance to the progress of their economy. This sector also provides substantial employment in the organized sector, and acts as catalyst for rapid development of the hinterland as well.

 

Our Government has taken many steps to develop this sector and Mr Vasan has summed them up admirably. The National Maritime Development Programme (NMDP) envisages investment of more than Rs. 1 lakh crore. We have recently set up the Indian Maritime University. We have also welcomed private sector participation in major ports, to access much needed funds and technical and managerial expertise. I hope the framework that has been developed will hasten the construction of new ports, and will also improve the maintenance of existing ports and harbours. In addition measures are being undertaken to reduce connectivity constraints being faced by their ports.

 

The Shipbuilding industry can have a multiplier effect on economic output and also in terms of its contribution to the generation of employment. The Government of India has therefore been supporting the setting up of shipyards. I understand the National Manufacturing Competitiveness Council is working with the Ministry of Shipping to explore fresh ways to enable faster growth of this dynamic sector. In addition, they intend to take measures to greatly expand inland water transport.

 

I once again congratulate the management and staff of the Pipavav Shipyard as I dedicate it to their nation. I wish the Shipyard all success for the future. You have done exceedingly well. The nation is proud of the commitment to enterprise and I venture to suggest that the best is yet to come. With these words, I once again congratulate the management and the staff.”

Pipavav IPO likely in less than 2 months

Saket Sundria. Mumbai

The IPO may hit the street in less than two months, he said. Pipavav Shipyard had planned to raise Rs 700-800 crore through a public offering for 8.68 crore shares to expand its shipbuilding yard, including construction facilities, ship repair and offshore business.

 

“We are not changing their plans much,” he said when asked about the size of the IPO.

 

The company had filed a draft red herring prospectus with Sebi in January 2008, which the regulator approved in September last year. However, Pipavav Shipyard had to put its IPO plans on hold due to a sharp fall in the equity markets following the global economic meltdown. The approval is valid till third week of September this year.

 

“We are trying to catch up on that (deadline),” Gandhi said.Pipavav also did a pre-IPO placement last year. In the DRHP, Pipavav Shipyard said it plans to do a pre-IPO placement of up to 28.5 lakh shares.

Pipavav wins $112 mn ONGC deal for 12 ships

The contract is Pipavav’s first for building offshore support vessels

P. Manoj

Bangalore: Private sector shipbuilder Pipavav Shipyard Ltd has won a $112 million (around Rs53760.000 millions) contract from state-run Oil and Natural Gas Corp. Ltd (ONGC) to build 12 ships to be used to support oil drilling.


“We have received notification of award of contract from ONGC,” Pipavav chief executive officer J.P. Rai told Mint in a telephone conversation from Mumbai. An executive at ONGC confirmed the development, but did not want to be named because the deal has not been made public yet.


Pipavav beat nine contenders including ABG Shipyard Ltd, Bharati Shipyard Ltd and Cochin Shipyard Ltd.
The contract is Pipavav’s first for building ships used to support offshore oil exploration. Offshore support vessels play a key role in offshore oil exploration, being used to ferry workers, equipment and other supplies to oil fields. It also comes at a time when other shipbuilders are struggling to get orders in the wake of a global economic slowdown.


In February 2008, Pipavav, an unlisted firm promoted by SKIL Infrastructure Ltd, first started building ships. The firm has secured contracts for constructing 26 dry bulk cargo-carrying ships ordered by global fleet owners such as SETAF SAS of France, AVGI Maritime Services SA of Greece and Golden Ocean Group Ltd for a total value of $1.1 billion.


ONGC currently has a fleet of 30 offshore support vessels, most of which are undergoing repairs. The oil explorer requires 62 vessels to meet its exploration and production commitments. It has hired 32 support vessels from private shipping firms to assist in exploration, but is facing a shortage. The 12 new vessels are expected to join its fleet within 24-30 months, as part of its long-term plan to reduce shortage of these assets and also to replace older vessels.


Two persons with knowledge of the auction process said ONGC was able to save as much as $89 million for buying the 12 ships by asking for revised price quotations from the shortlisted firms to take advantage of the fall in ship prices globally.


In the first round of bidding in March, ONGC had received lowest price quotation of $16.7 million for building each vessel. At that price, the contract would have been worth $200.4 million. In the second round in May, the total acquisition cost fell to $112 million.


Pipavav is looking for a stock exchange listing by selling shares to the public through an initial public offering. Last year, the firm had filed a draft prospectus with the Securities and Exchange Board of India to raise about Rs800 crore through a public issue. The share sale was put on hold due to poor market conditions.

Shipbuilding firms may claim over Rs4,000 cr subsidy

Firms like ABG Shipyard, Pipavav Shipyards, Bharti Shipyards & L&T are gearing up to claim subsidy, industry  sources said

PTI

New Delhi: Shipbuilding companies, including ABG Shipyard, Pipavav Shipyard, Bharti Shipyard and Larsen & Toubro, are likely to claim subsidy of over Rs 4,000 crore in the next four years from the government.
According to industry sources, firms like ABG Shipyard, Pipavav Shipyards, Bharti Shipyards and Larsen & Toubro are gearing up to claim subsidy, given by the government to encourage private sector participation in shipbuilding in the country.


“We can claim Rs17000.000 millions for contracts entered up to 14 August 2007, as ABG Shipyard has deliveries lined up till 2012-13,” ABG Shipyard chief financial officer Dhananjay Datar told PTI. A subsidy of Rs1200.000 millions is already due as per the present delivery position, he said. Pipavav and Bharti Shipyards have also plans to claim about Rs10000.000 millions each from the government while Larsen & Toubro and some others may claim about Rs3000.000 millions each, sources said.  An L&T official said on conditions of anonymity the company’s current status indicated that it could claim Rs3750.000 millions from the government.


“Pipavav Shipyard may claim about Rs10000.000 milions subsidy from the government for contracts entered (into) within (the) stipulated period as and when it starts delivering,” a source added.

 

Pvt shipyards eye defence contracts

18 Feb 2009, 0125 hrs IST, Sumantra Das, ET Bureau

 

MUMBAI: With the global slowdown taking a heavy toll, private shipyards are now hoping to get some business from the defence sector. Companies like

 

ABG Shipyard, Bharati and Pipavav are tying up with international engineering companies like Rolls Royce, Wartsila Diesel and Yanmer Marine, among others, to get a share of the Rs 8,000-crore defence pie for ships.

 

ABG Shipyard and Bharati Shipyard have already tied up with Rolls Royce to build ships for Coast Guard, and others are also in talks for the same. This follows a fall in orders for new vessels in the last few months. But a bigger cause for concern for the shipbuilders is cancellation of orders. According to industry estimates, the cancellation rate, particularly in the dry bulk vessel segment, is averaging 10-15% of the global order books.

 

As per a proposal being considered by the government, sophisticated and smaller-size vessels required by Coast Guard and Indian Navy would be built by private shipyards while public sector shipyards would build strategic and large vessels required by the defence sector.

 

Currently, the Indian Navy orders are restricted to the naval shipyards under the purview of defence ministry, which include Mazagaon Dock, Goa Shipyard, Garden Reach Shipbuilders and Engineers (Kolkata). But most of the shipyards are already booked for years and working at full capacity. To overcome this, the Indian Navy is likely to start ordering ships from private players.

 

“In India, there are only a few private sector shipyards including ABG and Bharati which have the requisite expertise to fulfil the requirement of the defence sector,” said a Bharati Shipyard official. “Bharati Shipyard has built vessels for the Indian Navy in the past and they are keen to work for the Coast Guard and the Indian Navy. The company looks at the defence sector as an independent business unit and would like to build up volumes by actively participating in the bidding process of the tenders floated by the Coast Guard,” he said.  ABG Shipyard, which is executing defence orders worth Rs 600 crore, hopes to secure orders for bigger vessels. The company’s CFO, Dhananjay Datar, said: “Private shipyards are now gearing up for bigger defence orders as the global shipping market is in turbulent waters.” ABG Shipyard will now focus on securing more defence orders as the future requirement will be huge, he added.

 

Pipavav Shipyard is also keen on the defence sector. “We are looking at various kind of vessels for the Navy, which will be more complex and weapons-oriented. As they gain experience in doing these things, they will look at more complex vessels,” said a Pipavav official.
