[SINGAPORE] A new chapter in Singapore's maritime development was written yesterday when Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong opened Sembcorp Marine's new integrated yard, which will eventually consolidate the group's shipyards across the island into a single facility.

Speaking at the grand opening of the Sembmarine Integrated Yard, Mr Lee said that the plan was to consolidate all of Sembcorp Marine's yards here by 2024, with the aim of creating a "Shipyard of the Future" that will boost productivity significantly.

For starters, Mr Lee said that the integrated yard will help the company optimise its layout and facilities there while freeing up the land it is occupying elsewhere for redevelopment.
