ST Marine: The turnkey shipbuilding subsidiary of Singapore Technologies Engineering is well-placed to land the first newbuilding contract that the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) is set to award in 2016, just over four years after the SCDF assumed the fire-fighting function within Singapore's waters. The Business Times understands that ST Marine has emerged as the frontrunner in a tender for the construction of three new vessels to undertake marine fire-fighting and rescue operations in Singapore's maritime waters.

Raffles Education Corporation: A fall in revenue and share of results of joint ventures eroded earnings for the group in its 2016 financial year. Net profit fell 7 per cent to S$15.8 million from the year-ago period, the group said in a Singapore Exchange filing on Wednesday.
