PAN-MCM. Dayang Enterprise announced that it has secured a Pan Malaysia Maintenance Construction and Modification (PM-MCM) contract from Murphy Sarawak Oil Co Ltd and Murphy Sabah Oil Co Ltd for the campaign period of 2018-2023. The contract period is effective from 17 July 2018 and shall expire on 16 July 2023 with an option to extend for a period of one year.

Current jobs at hand. Activity levels for the Maintenance, Construction and Modifications Contract (MCM) and Topside Maintenance Services works under the Pan Hook-up and Commissioning Contract (Pan HUC) has improved in 1QFY18 despite the typical cyclical monsoon months and will continue to improve into 3QFY18. The company's current orderbook, inclusive of this new win stands at approximately RM2.5-3b lasting through to 2023.

Tenderbook. The company has participated in approximately RM8b worth of projects, in particular the Pan MCM tenders. The company remains fairly confident of winning a portion given its track record and successful campaigns in similar projects.

Dayang’s forte. Dayang is no stranger to maintenance, construction and modification (MCM) works as it was the incumbent for the previous HUC contracts from 2013, and more recently the winner of the MCM from Petronas Carigali. Currently, Dayang on its own has: (i) 6 work vessels and; (ii) 2 supply boats with an average age of approximately 6.5 years old. All of which are fit for purpose, within the stringent specifications required by Petronas and its production sharing contractors.

Earnings upcycle to start in 2QFY18. From the offshore activity levels that are currently taking place, we believe that the earnings upcycle for Dayang could start as early as 2QFY18.
