ChevronTexaco
Alliance with Jurong Shipyard, into its 15th year
The management of ChevronTexaco shared SembMarine’s
belief in alliances for mutual benefit. As they were
often quoted to say – “You cannot repair ships
with adversaries”. Based on this premise, Chevron
found in Jurong Shipyard their staunch alliance partner
in the Far East and on November 30, 1989, ChevronTexaco
became SembMarine’s first alliance partner.
ChevronTexaco’s support and commitment to Jurong
Shipyard was demonstrated when in 1996 its newly opened
Ultra Large Crude Carrier (ULCC) Drydock witnessed the
docking of the largest ULCC, the 413,159 dwt S.S. Chevron
South America in Singapore.
“Chevron is proud to have developed a very
successful business relationship with Jurong Shipyard,
which began in May 1966 … … we will continue
to bring our vessels to this very productive, customer-focused,
and well equipped facility, with its highly skilled
workforce and responsive management. Chevron and Jurong
are committed to similar values in our business perspectives,
most notably in protecting people and the environment”
V.M. Short, Shipping Manager of
the Pacific Region, Repair and Maintenance Division,
ChevronTexaco.
This relationship has seen more than 250 ships in a
variety of sizes docked and overhauled in Jurong Shipyard.
STASCo and Sembawang Shipyard’s
e-collaboration portal
The Shell International Trading and Shipping Company
(STASCo) and Sembawang Shipyard ship repair alliance
e-collaboration portal www.semballiance.com is another
example of the success of SembMarine’s alliances
with its customers.
The portal is an innovative web-based application designed
to facilitate ship refits between Sembawang Shipyard
and its alliance partners. STASCo and Sembawang Shipyard
were two of the first companies in the marine industry
to have entered into a highly innovative evergreen alliance
agreement on ship repair. With this alliance, both companies
have redefined the conventional owner-shipyard relationship
into a forward-looking partnership with a clear focus
on achieving both short and long-term mutually compatible
goals. The alliance e-collaboration portal enables improved
joint planning, and with faster and more extensive information
sharing, the committed Alliance partners can leverage
market information, skills, capabilities, knowledge,
experiences, technology and design to achieve safer,
faster and more cost-effective ship refits.
“STASCo is pleased that our alliance partnership
with Sembawang Shipyard has resulted in safer repairs,
reduced refit time and improved quality of repairs thus
achieving greater end user value at reduced cost. This
shows how innovative thinking can create value for both
partners.”
Jan Kopernicki, Vice President
of Shipping in STASCo
