    SETE Brasil's bankruptcy filing approved before Thursday trading hours marked the first step forward towards removing the overhang over the biggest rig-building contracts on the order book of Keppel Offshore & Marine and Sembcorp Marine.

    With the path cleared for the restructuring of Sete Brasil, the ball is once again in the court of Keppel O&M and SembMarine on whether further provisions will be made for the contracts from the rig-owning affiliate of Petrobras.
