Singapore-based marine and offshore engineering Sembcorp Marine expects losses to continue this year as it faces COVID-19 constraints and a shortage of skilled workers.
Sembcorp Marine provided the outlook in an interim business update for the first quarter of 2021 published Monday, which also offered an update on the continuing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“The Group continues to face COVID-19 supply chain constraints and shortage of skilled workers. Foreign workers who left Singapore over the past year could not return due to ongoing border controls in countries such as India and Bangladesh. The improving Singapore economy has also led to increased competition for foreign labour already here, resulting in attrition of labour to competing industries. The shortage of skilled workers has impacted the execution and scheduled completion of some of our projects,” the update said.
Hitachi ABB Power Grids and GE sign landmark agreement
DUBAI, April 29, 2021 Hitachi ABB Power Grids Ltd and GE Renewable Energy’s Grid Solutions business have announced a non-exclusive, cross-licensing agreement related to the use of an alternative gas to sulphur hexafluoride (SF 6 ) used in high voltage equipment. Under this landmark agreement announced just before Earth Day 2021 between two global leaders in power technologies – both companies will share complementary intellectual property related to their respective SF 6 -free solutions. This will help accelerate the use of fluoronitrile-based eco-efficient insulation and switching gas in high-voltage equipment as an alternative to SF 6 . A recent EU Commission report concluded that fluorinitrile-based gas mixtures may be the only insulating and switching gas alternative to SF 6 when space is a constraint.
