INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

India is developing into an open-market economy, yet traces of its past autarkic policies remain. Economic liberalization, including industrial deregulation, privatization of state-owned enterprises, and reduced controls on foreign trade and investment, began in the early 1990s and has served to accelerate the country's growth, which has averaged more than 7% per year since 1997. India's diverse economy encompasses traditional village farming, modern agriculture, handicrafts, a wide range of modern industries, and a multitude of services. Slightly more than half of the work force is in agriculture, but services are the major source of economic growth, accounting for more than half of India's output, with only one-third of its labor force. India has capitalized on its large educated English-speaking population to become a major exporter of information technology services and software workers. In 2010, the Indian economy rebounded robustly from the global financial crisis - in large part because of strong domestic demand - and growth exceeded 8% year-on-year in real terms. However, India's economic growth in 2011 slowed because of persistently high inflation and interest rates and little progress on economic reforms. High international crude prices have exacerbated the government's fuel subsidy expenditures contributing to a higher fiscal deficit, and a worsening current account deficit. Little economic reform took place in 2011 largely due to corruption scandals that have slowed legislative work. India's medium-term growth outlook is positive due to a young population and corresponding low dependency ratio, healthy savings and investment rates, and increasing integration into the global economy. India has many long-term challenges that it has not yet fully addressed, including widespread poverty, inadequate physical and social infrastructure, limited non-agricultural employment opportunities, scarce access to quality basic and higher education, and accommodating rural-to-urban migration.

OFFSHORE LOGISTICS

 

MARKET TREND AND ANALYSIS

 

FY12 saw an improvement in global markets in the offshore logistics space. This improvement though, was neither consistent across time nor uniform across geographies. The year began where the last one left off; with tentative employment prospects and utilisation issues across a wide gamut of markets. The improvement in market conditions came to fore in the second half of the year; most markedly in the last quarter.

 

The North Sea market turned out to be more positive than was anticipated at the start of the year. Charter rates touched 3 year highs during the "busy" summer season in many OSV categories while utilisation levels during the traditionally "weaker" winter markets exceeded those witnessed over the last couple of years.

 

The West African market started off the year tepidly but changing preferences towards more sophisticated dynamic positioning (DP) vessels manifested itself in tightness in availability of suitable units in the second half of the year.

 

While older, non-DP units traditionally employed in this market languished, West Africa started to attract DP tonnage from outside the region at increasing rates.

 

The Middle Eastern market provided a smaller glimmer of hope in terms of demand; though not so much in rates for smaller AHTSVs as the market preference started migrating towards more modern vessels in this category. The North African / Mediterranean market was impacted by the market disruption arising out of civil unrests in the region.

 

The Company currently actively participates in the Brazilian, South East Asian and the Indian markets. Brazil continued to be the dominant growth market for OSV tonnage, soaking up a significant number of vessels, with Petrobras alone taking in about 70-80 OSVs (offshore support vessels) on long term charters. The IOCs/ independents operating in Brazil, though with a relatively lesser appetite, added to the demand picture with several short term fixtures. However, with the siren song of long term charters attracting a bevy of new owners to this market, the rising demand failed to translate into commensurate rise in rate levels. At the same time, operating costs continued to rise; rapidly so for items relating to local content, ensuring that margins continued to be under pressure and the business environment stayed challenging.

 

The South East Asian market for anchor handlers (AHTSVs) saw anaemic demand growth for small/medium size anchor handlers while the larger, higher-spec anchor handlers experienced a healthier demand and thus, better utilisation and rates. The increasing demand for PSVs in SE Asia, traditionally an AHTSV market, started translating into an improved PSV market second half of the year onwards. India painted the most robust demand picture of the markets that they currently operate in, with multiple tenders from ONGC, BGEPIL and GSPC, and requirement from even smaller operators like Petrogas and AWEL. For the first time, ONGC tendered to charter in 150 T bollard pull AHTSVs. This can be considered as a precursor for increasing activity in the deep waters of East Coast of India. The one disappointing aspect of the Indian market turned out to be the lack of any requirements from RIL; though this could change in the coming year.

 

On the asset market front, secondhand transaction activity remained at subdued levels through the year. Ordering activity was more focused on PSVs as compared to AHTSVs, though there were signs of reviving interest in ordering larger AHTSVs by the end of the year. There was no definite trend in asset prices, though for the most part, the year ended with prices somewhat higher than at the start.

 

 

COMPANY PERFORMANCE

 

During FY12, the Company further consolidated its position in the Asian and Indian markets, increased penetration within the Australasian clientele and improved operational focus in Brazil. The year saw their clientele list include Total in Brunei, Woodside in Korea, Chevron in Brazil, TNK-BP in Vietnam and Murphy Oil in Malaysia while they continued to ably service their past clients in both domestic and global markets.

 

The year began with ten vessels of the Company's fleet of seventeen employed on longer term charters with the remaining seven operating under shorter term contracts of six months or less. The year ended with the fleet having grown to nineteen vessels with the deliveries of two 150-T anchor handlers. Twelve of these were on long term charters, with seven chartered out on shorter durations.

 

 

FLEET CHANGES

 

As on March 31, 2012, the operating fleet of the Company (including Subsidiaries) stood at nineteen vessels which includes four Platform Supply Vessels (PSVs), nine Anchor Handling Tug cum Supply Vessels (AHTSVs), three Multipurpose Platform Supply and Support Vessels (MPSSVs) and three ROV Support Vessels (ROVSVs).

 

During the year, the Company (including subsidiaries) took delivery of the following vessels:

 

1. AHTSV 'Greatship Vidya' on Jan 06, 2012

2. AHTSV 'Greatship Vimla' on Feb 09, 2012

 

During the year, the Company's Singapore subsidiary, GGOS cancelled new building contracts of two Multi Purpose Support Vessels with Mazagon Dock Limited, Mumbai. The yard has disputed the cancellation of one Multi Purpose Support Vessel. The current order book of the Company (including Subsidiaries) consists of three ROV Support Vessels (ROVSVs) being constructed at Colombo Dockyards in Sri Lanka.

 

 

OUTLOOK FOR OFFSHORE LOGISTICS MARKET

 

Against a backdrop of elevated oil prices and expectations of global E&P spend increase for a third year in a row, a sense of cautious optimism pervades the industry. However, the market performance is likely to vary by asset categories and region. The Brazilian market is once again likely to be the star performer in terms of headline demand, but challenges for operating within that market are likely to persist. South East Asia is currently experiencing improving market conditions for mid-size PSVs in particular, but the delivery overhang of PSVs expected to come out of Asian yards could cap any significant market recovery. The Indian market is expected to continue its active run with continuing tenders expected from ONGC and other operators such as GSPC, BGEPIL, and AWEL etc. As noted earlier, RIL could shake of its dormancy too and add to the activity in India.

 

Notwithstanding the global economic uncertainties, this optimism is tempered with a couple of other caveats. Firstly, the expectation for improvement during FY13 is more back ended, in line with the expected flow of drilling rig deliveries. Secondly, the Company's own long term chartered fleet that has been enjoying healthy rates contracted in a more rewarding market will come up for repricing during this year.

 

Thus, given the outlook for the market, the offshore logistics business looks forward to a consistent and positive performance in the coming year.

 

 

DRILLING SERVICES

 

MARKET TREND AND ANALYSIS

 

The benchmark Brent Oil price stayed comfortably above the US$ 100 / barrel mark for all of FY12 driving positive sentiment in the E&P space. The resultant high exploration and development activity led to increasing utilization and day rates continued their gradual uptrend witnessed since rebounding from the lows seen in FY10. The jack up rig market witnessed utilisation levels reaching 90% for assets at the modern end. The day rates during the year were around US$130,000, though the rates moved up above these levels for fixtures concluded in the last quarter.

 

The vintage end of the fleet, which had encountered the prospects of increasing stackups, witnessed a turnaround with stacked-up vessels get back into employment by the end of the year. The jackup market witnessed demand increase in the Middle East, South East Asia and Africa while the Brazilian and African markets provided support to deep water rigs.

 

Given the positive market conditions, the year saw an upsurge in ordering with 67 rigs (including 26 jackups) ordered during the year. There was a significant element of replacement demand in the new orders as established drilling companies looked to replace their older units with modern rigs having higher specifications and operational capability which resulted in a gradual rise in new building prices.

 

On the corporate front, there was a further move towards consolidation with the Hercules purchase of Seahawk's assets and Transocean's acquisition of Aker Drilling. Company Performance

 

The company's drilling fleet comprises three drilling rigs, the Greatdrill Chetna and the Greatdrill Chitra, under operation and one new building, Greatdrill Chaaya, due for delivery from the yard in the coming year. Greatdrill Chetna registered another strong operational performance during the ONGC charter this year. The rig completed this charter after the end of FY12 with nil LTIs (Lost Time Incidents). The rig would be employed with British Gas under a term charter for operations off west coast India. Greatdrill Chitra continued her 5 year contract with ONGC and achieved 2 Years Incident Free Operations on 5th Nov 2011. Post an incident on rig in Dec 2011, when the Incident Free Record was reset, she has achieved 102 days Incident Free Operations as on 31st Mar 2012.

 

Greatdrill Chaaya is currently under construction at the Lamprell yard in Dubai and is due for delivery around the end of 2012. The rig has been fixed out on a long term charter with ONGC commencing post-delivery. During the year, the Company completed 3 years as a Drilling Contractor, which enables the company to satisfy prequalification requirements in the market on a standalone basis.

 

 

FLEET CHANGES

 

There were no changes to the drilling fleet during the year.

 

 

OUTLOOK FOR DRILLING MARKET

 

The current outlook for oil prices is for Brent to stay above the US$ 100 / barrel level for the coming year. E&P spending surveys suggest that global capex will grow by around 10% y-o-y this year with potential upside. These estimates however, are based on a moderately growing global economy and exclude effects on any geopolitical events; both assumptions that are far from certain for the coming year.

 

Given the high utilisation levels and increasing duration of contracts, they can expect the gradual uptrend to continue at least in the short term. However, with increased supply coming in from 2013 onwards they might see such trend being capped beyond a point. Geographically, they expect that the Middle Eastern and South East Asian market will continue to take in jackups, with the Indian market providing healthy support too.

 

 

SUBSEA SOLUTIONS

 

MARKET TREND AND ANALYSIS

 

The health of the subsea market showed relative improvement in FY12, more so in the second half; compared to the dismal conditions of the previous year. Though such improving market conditions could lead to FY12 being labeled as the 'turnaround year' in the subsea market; the business environment prevailing during the year was not without its challenges, especially for lower tier contractors.

 

After a drop in activity in North Sea over the previous couple of years, demand for subsea services bottomed out this year as it saw a revival of subsea developments of mature fields. The GoM market also returned to healthier activity from the regulatory constrained environment of the previous year post the Macondo incident. West Africa and Brazil continued to strengthen their position as large "prospective" markets, though with limited growth in current demand during 2012.

 

Closer to home; activity in the Asia Pacific market was healthier though pressure on project margins continued in the competitive landscape. Australian activity grew slower than expected as the initial phases of the projects' cycle experienced lengthening durations due to local resource constraints within the market.

 

The impact of these market developments was felt by Tier-I contractors in somewhat improved operating margins in 2012; but more so in their order books, which grew both in size and length. For many smaller contractors/ subcontractors, the year represented a period of loss reduction rather than a return to full profitability.

 

COMPANY PERFORMANCE

 

The Company's subsidiaries, Greatship Subsea Solutions Singapore Pte Limited (GSS) and Greatship Subsea Solutions Australia Pty Limited (GSA) operated in the Subsea markets primarily in Australia, and to a lesser extent in Asia. The vessel, Greatship Mamta, was the sole marine asset operating in the subsea space during the year. The high quality of execution and operational delivery quickly established Greatship as a quality newcomer in the subsea market.

 

However, the financial performance came in far below expectations as pricing pressures capped project margins and the business struggled to recover fixed overheads.

 

 

OUTLOOK FOR SUBSEA MARKET

 

Within the markets that they currently operate in, Australia is likely to continue experiencing delays in the subsea projects' cycle in the short term; though, medium-term prospects for the year 2014 and onwards remain attractive. Asia is likely to be the better market in the short term with construction activity expected to pick up second half of this year and sustain through 2013. Major regional drivers for the increase in subsea demand include an expected step-change driven by long-distance subsea tiebacks of stranded gas fields. These long-awaited developments will utilize hundreds of miles of subsea pipelines and production umbilicals, potentially ratcheting up the size and number of contract awards.

 

The global outlook on subsea over the longer term remains positive, with certain studies forecasting a doubling of the market within the next five years. This will be driven by a significant number of upcoming greenfield developments, predominantly in deepwater, in Australia, West Africa and Latin America.
