    [SINGAPORE] Singapore's Sembcorp Marine Ltd said on Thursday its net profit in the fourth quarter fell 4.6 per cent, as revenue from rig building activity dropped and as the year-ago quarter was boosted by a tax write-back.

    Sembcorp Marine, engaged in rig building and ship repair, posted a fourth-quarter net profit of S$174.05 million. It posted a full-year profit of S$560.13 million, beating a mean forecast of S$549.44 million by 22 analysts, Reuters data showed.
