WITH about S$1 billion in Singapore oil-and-gas bonds due by next year, fears are building that Swiber's collapse will trigger a domino effect on its peers.
An OCBC Investment Research report also pointed out that with the bond markets shut to offshore marine issuers, there are questions over how these issues will be refinanced.
