Singapore, Feb 3, 2026, 15:40 SGT — Regular session
- Seatrium shares held steady following the group’s announcement that it has completed the sale of its AmFELS yard in Texas.
- Earlier disclosures revealed the yard was set to be sold for S$65 million, with the bulk of the payment deferred.
- Attention turns to Seatrium’s FY2025 results, set for release on Feb. 26.
Shares of Seatrium Limited held steady on Tuesday. The offshore and marine engineering firm announced it has finalized the sale of its AmFELS yard located in Brownsville, Texas.
This update matters because investors want clearer signs of cash discipline in the sector. Asset exits remain one of the few quick levers management can pull ahead of full-year results.
It wraps up a drawn-out saga involving a “surplus” U.S. facility, though the main announcement was short and skimmed over financial specifics.
Seatrium confirmed the divestment wrapped up on Jan. 30, with all projects at the yard finished and handed over ahead of the deal’s close.
Back in September, Seatrium announced it would offload the yard to Karpower Valley LLC, linked to Karpowership, for S$65 million. Out of that, S$50 million is set to be paid a year after the deal closes. The assets had a book value near S$39 million as of June 30, 2025, and were sold “as is, where is,” meaning in their current state. CEO Chris Ong highlighted the group’s “strong and longstanding relationship” with Karpowership and noted they’ll continue serving U.S. clients through other locations.
At 3:08 p.m. local time, Seatrium shares held steady at S$2.10, fluctuating narrowly between S$2.09 and S$2.11. Roughly 6 million shares changed hands. (SG Investors)

The results should clarify how the yard sale and related expenses impact cash flow and the balance sheet. They’ll also reveal if the group can keep project execution on track after a hectic year in offshore oil-and-gas and renewables-linked fabrication.
The sale terms bring their own timing risks. Since most of the payment is deferred, investors will keep a close eye on whether the payment schedule sticks. They’ll also watch for any one-off accounting hits that could cloud the true operating results.
Feb. 26 is the next key date for the market. Investors will focus on management’s take on demand, margins, and cash conversion, as well as any new updates on portfolio changes following the AmFELS exit.
